  • This is a typical meme being shared by Canadians. It no longer matters what trade deals we make through their PM Carney & Trade Minister ... or what tariffs Trump charges or does not charge. WHY? The Canadian PEOPLE now refuse to buy ANYTHING that says "Made in the USA." We have lost their TRUST.

  • A new phase in US coercion of Canada. 'if the new tariffs come into force on August 19th, Canada will be the first country ever to be subjected to tariffs under Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, a law passed in 1930"

  • Donald Trump says Canada is “nasty.” Really? Canada is America’s closest ally. Trump answers that friendship with tariffs, threats, insults and the taunt that Canada is “nasty.” Stand with Canada. Check out The Warning Canada Collection.

  • As CBC reports, Donald Trump called Canada and its leadership "nasty" five times during a Las Vegas speech defending tariffs. The comments come as Canada and the U.S. negotiate ahead of threatened 50% tariffs on some Canadian exports. How should Canada respond?

  • Main reason why Carney can give in to Trump on food tariffs … we Canadians are not going to buy American slop just because it is cheaper. That time has passed.
