  1. Trump likes his ass kissed publicly. You stand up to him and tell him to piss off you run the risk of becoming Columbia. Play the game the way it’s presented. Your not changing him and Canada is in no position to tell anyone to bugger off. Ignore the bluster and negotiate – it works with him.

  2. “Likewise, Canadian expertise in sustainability and food safety has valuable insights to offer our southern neighbours.”
    That’s pretty effin rich.

  3. The USA hasn’t done anything wrong, either. Canada is 100% in the wrong.

    I’m sorry, #MapleLeafForever boosters, this country is shipping mass quantities of fentanyl and illegal immigrants into the USA. What would you say if the USA lined up a million South American gang bangers, gave each of them ten kilos of fentanyl and marched them across the Rainbow Bridge? (And what could you -do- about it, since Canada doesn’t have a military?)

    Also, and this is something that continues to slay me, it is EASIER to buy cheese in Buffalo and ship it to Ontario than it is to buy cheese in a different province and ship it to Ontario. Or anything else. So maybe #OrangeMan is not the bad guy here, and this is just another sleigh ride the Canadian media is trying to take us all on.

    How about we all boycott the Canadian media instead?

    1. As a nation we’ve become a deeply immoral, fatuously self-righteous, two-faced and thoroughly dishonourable country who’ve elected – thrice! (and I’m only speaking federally) – deeply immoral, fatuously self-righteous, two-faced and thoroughly dishonourable people to represent our supposed interests, and because of this “we” deserve to be punished

      Had Canadians voted for governments that put forth a muscular, expansive, pro-free-speech, pro-free-market, pro-small business, pro-Western, pro-American version of this country, Trump would not be trolling us, nor would the issue of punitive tariffs even come up.

      Jordan Peterson, Preston Manning and The Food Professor have provided us with some trenchant, useful analysis in recent days.

      In the main unfortunately, we have a bunch of ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadians – many of whom should know better – wringing their ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadian hands, stomping their ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadian feet, shaking their ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadian heads, sporting their ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadian hats (“Canada is Not For Sale”) and shrieking/sloganeering in their ridiculous, inconsequential little Canadian voices and accents that “Canadians should have a leader Trump is afraid of” and other assorted “the mouse that roared”-style bafflegab. All deeply, deeply embarrassing

      Canadians – SDA readers exempted – get the governments we deserve.

      Strauss – who’s a longtime devotee of O’Connell’s in Buffalo, NY – won’t be boycotting the USA either!

      1. Places like
        JJ’s Casa Di Pizza
        11E Mohawk, also in Buffalo and me agreeing with Trump more than ANY Canadian politician EVER, means I’m not boycotting them either.

  4. “What would you say if the USA lined up a million South American gang bangers, gave each of them ten kilos of fentanyl and marched them across the Rainbow Bridge?”
    Why, I’d hire the RCMP to carry their bags, and then put all these great enrichers up in hotels. Duh!

    1. Sorry, all the hotels in Niagara Falls Ontario are already full of current migrants sent here from Quebec and other places as well as those crossing direct into Ontario. No rooms for more unless they bunk with the strippers on Lundy’s Lane

      1. Are there still strip clubs on Lundy’s Lane? I thought they’d all gone t*ts up. ~:D

  5. Smart well written msg, I wish our federal morons or Eby & Doug would be able to raise at this level, at least in communication if not execution. Problem is that even PP is hinting at “retaliation”/”counter-tariffs” etc.

    That’s why it looks like the best Trump-like move for Trump is to go ahead with the tariffs, Feb 1st for all of Canada EXCEPT AB & SK.

    1. P P will prove to be just one conservative who is liberal lite. It was a concern of mine when he was first put forward. Why the hell Canadians hate freedom and work has become beyond me, as me and mine always worked and prospered under the previous non-communist governments.

  6. “That’s why it looks like the best Trump-like move for Trump is to go ahead with the tariffs, Feb 1st for all of Canada EXCEPT AB & SK.”
    -Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius.

    Good idea. That way, TROC can empty some of their urban libtards into those provinces as they all set up HQs in AB and SK to avoid the tariffs, and of course, Trump will fall for that.

  7. A great topic of discussion TARIFFS. What the majority of Canadians don’t realize or are loathe to recognize is that without the benevolence of our neighbour Canada would not exist. Our politicians can huff and puff, bloviate and boast, but when the rubber hits the road we as a country cannot exist without America. Threatening to impose counter tariffs on America would be akin to cutting off our nose. Threatening to boycott American vacation or tourist destinations and substitute them for Canadian ones is to substitute tofu for steak. We are for all intents and purposes a vassel state, a protectorate of America. Liberal, socialist policies have weakened our ability to be a true independent sovereign state and the sooner Canadians realize and accept that fact the sooner we will start to recover the status that we once held three generations ago.

    1. Yes. All he needs to do is close the border for a couple months.

      Anybody still remember Covid? Hmm? Remember how many companies died after a couple months of lockdown?

      Now imagine the Americans doing it for real. No traffic into Canada. Or out, if he’s feeling frisky.

      The USA can take that hit. Canada? Nope. Going to fold like a cheap suit.

    2. I bet 80% of Canadians don’t even understand what tariffs mean.

      Wait until they find out that after the US tariffs cause huge job losses in Canada, we will be penalizing the USA by instituting tariffs that increase costs to Canadians.

      Just another time when the Laurention Swampsters congratulate themselves for their oh so successful “Education” System.

  8. We have such useless leadership in the form of:

    The first Nationalist of the Post-National state, Justine Trudeau, who also made it easier for criminals to avoid jail.
    Dougie Ford, who is promoting American Made Toques that say “Canada is not for Sale” while plunging us into a useless provincial election.
    Jagmeet Singh who has decided he’ll support CarneyFlation and prop up the Liberals some more
    And the Clown Carney who is offering years of CarneyFlation and Net Zero Growth.

  9. Hmmm, I’ve changed my mind, the establishment of 25% is an OUTRAGE!

    It should be 100% tariffs on Canadastan. This country has to be brought to its knees, though a rescue by American forces is also most welcome.

    1. Got a txt today from “Doug Ford” pledging to fight Trump and the Americans. The biggest country in the world.

      The sheer stupidity of this man still surprises me. Sure, he’s smart enough to be Premiere, but dumb enough to think he can still play the same tired playbook and win.

      Hey. Official Conservatives. I know you lurk here. Wake the f- up and smell the coffee, boys. The world CHANGED in 2020. We don’t believe you anymore. Trump did not win because he went on Joe Rogan, you appalling cretins.

  10. I wonder if the Star has invited PP to throw the football around while they take pictures.

  11. I am coming to warm to the idea of Fat Ford and Carney running Confederated Canada.
    With President Trump’s current attitude,WEXIT will be accelerated,why wait for Pierre and his Progressive Con Artists to betray our hopes of freedom?
    The blue tie branch of our Uni Party will change nothing about Canada’s collapse.
    Broke beyond all hope of recovery.
    And that is just the finances.
    What do I as a Westerner,have in common with Eastern Canada?
    Decades of abuse,lies and ripoffs do not a kinder gentler citizen make.
    To be a “Canadian” is to be a tax slave to an overbearing and unbearable overload of parasites.
    We built it and it is done.

    If the USA was not protecting us,we would have been gobbled up years ago.
    And the thanks they get for enabling our idiotic welfare state?
    Verbal abuse and sneering condescension from so much lesser persons.
    “Fools Names and Fools faces are always found in public places”.
    Time for a vote or two.
    First a new Federal Government.
    Then a division call.
    No country can survive the suicidal idiocy Ottawa sells.
