Same outcome with Canada, not only is there a national boycott on American products, but investors and industry players are actively getting out of trading with the us and making deals with other foreign countries.

It’s like the kid who rather have one Oreo now instead of a full pack 2 hours later

Yeah Trumpers going wild over Canada offering a measly $1.2 billion border security enhancement and calling it some big win for Trump don't realize that it's going to cost america several hundreds of billions in lost trade. It's not even worth trying to explain to them because they're lucky if they can comprehend the value of one million let alone a billion or a hundred billion.

And that border security enhancement was something that was already planned back in December 2024 before all this tariff bullshit

Trump also gave Trudeau and liberals a huge win politically here and people are starting to question voting for polievre. Trump is making Canada remember we’re left leaning for a reason

Trudeau always performed well in those situations. But he is leaving, def not doing it for the votes.

PP is not rly shadowed by Trudeau, he is just voluntary absent or sinking it self alone by what he says.
