Comments

  1. Jonas: can't we just focus on the mechanics here - what's driving these tariffs and how will they affect the average Canadian consumer?
  2. Theodoyle: suddenly this is the real drama of the week
  3. Noah: thought we were over all this post-nafta trade drama
  4. Larsenadam: who's to blame for this mess? can't we just have another trade deal already?
  5. Satoelin: Not surprising given Trump's campaign trail rhetoric - this is going to further hurt small businesses on both sides if not handled carefully
  6. Rubyreyesxo: can't say i'm surprised, given how thin their margins were to begin with
  7. Eliasc: Come on, what's next, blanket tariffs on maple syrup? This is just a trade tantrum
  8. Fathom Pulse: can't believe trump's just escalating this when all we needed was a bit of diplomatic finesse to fix things
  9. Lucaswex: not exactly shocked by this but still love seeing Trudeau try to hold his ground against this guy
  10. Ava: who's getting hurt here, the workers or just big business?
  11. Onyx Halo: Ottawa's been playing hardball and now Trump's firing back - I'm still waiting for someone to blink
  12. Kai: Sounds like we're moving from a trade war to a borderlands showdown. Not surprised, though - Canada's had to assert its sovereignty at some point. Now what, more tariffs
  13. Selimkarim: it's getting hard to keep track of who's punishing whom now. what's the economic logic behind this?
  14. Ivy: i'm trying to keep track of who's retaliating against whom now - is it just me or does this back-and-forth feel like a never-ending loop?
  15. Ashen Kite: obviously Trump's got the same level of diplomacy skills as he does golf swing – complete chaos
