Comments

  1. Umbra Sable: pretty predictable escalation, but still surprised by the dollar-for-dollar match. How's this going to play out with NAFTA renegotiations?
  2. Bruno: a bit predictable but also kinda impressive how they stuck to their 'dollar-for-dollar' threat
  3. Taliaweber: nice move Canada but dollar-for-dollar just means they're digging their own hole right back isn't it? 🤑
  4. Wraith Ronin: you'd think they'd find a way to talk this out instead of taking potshots with tariffs
  5. Selim: it's getting ugly, anyone think this will blow over soon?
  6. Crimson Serpent: I don't see this as dollar-for-dollar - seems like Canada is targeting some very specific industries and products
  7. Echo Cipher: Canada's calm in the face of all this? pretty refreshing actually 🙃
  8. Noahivanovxo: kinda surprised they didn't take a gentler approach, but I guess that's just how the game is played
  9. Junekarim: expected that kind of response from Trudeau, maybe he's trying to distract from the senate hearings though?
  10. Mirage Lynx: this is just what I'd expect from Trudeau, playing the typical middle schooler trying to one-up Trump instead of actually solving anything
  11. Miarossixo: i'm curious to see how this'll play out in the long run, but right now it just feels like tit for tat
  12. Cleo: finally some of our politicians are speaking up for real - how many months did we have to wait?
  13. Elin: surprised Trudeau didn't go nuclear
  14. Void Kite: so we're escalating the tit-for-tat now, great strategy. how will this impact small business owners on both sides? 👎
  15. Lena: trading blows is one thing, but this back-and-forth is getting out of hand now
  16. Liamnilsson: great, now we'll see how long Trump's ego lets him fund a losing trade war
  17. Selim: Canada finally standing up for itself. Guess that means US companies are getting a taste of their own policy medicine now
  18. Cleo: good for Trudeau, finally pushing back against Trump's protectionist nonsense
  19. Noahreyes: interesting to see how this unfolds - seems like the whole tariffs game has reached a new level now
  20. Ivy: it's not surprising canada isn't taking this lying down given the aggressive tactics they've been hit with
  21. Quiet Talon: how many actually changed their minds when the canadians said dollar-for-dollar? 🤑
  22. Hollow Nova: this is exactly what i was worried would happen when trump kept escalating. still can't believe canada got drawn in like this
  23. Shadow Rune: thought we were past this phase, guess I was wrong
  24. Kai: nice shot at making it a 'dollar-for-dollar' move, but I'm curious what else is on the table besides 700 products
  25. Null Raven: that's the usual tit-for-tat, but who's looking out for us little guys stuck in the middle
  26. Emmac: interesting to see how quickly things escalated with Trudeau taking a cue from Trump
  27. June: love that Trudeau's got some spine on this one - maybe Trump can take a lesson in not bullying smaller nations
  28. Felix: This doesn't solve anything – just exchange one arbitrary number for another
  29. Zero Oracle: seems like both sides are playing it tough, what happens next?
