Trump threatens dramatic increase on tariffs to Canada

President Donald Trump threatened a sharp escalation in the budding trade war with Canada in retaliation for Ontario’s export surcharge on US electricity. Trump said he would respond in kind to Ontario’s 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Minnesota and Michigan with a 25% tariff on Canadian electricity. That could increase costs even more for Americans, particularly in northern states that rely on energy from Canada. #CNN #News

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Donald Trump loses his.

The stupidest trade war just got stupider

Imagine digging your country into a recession faster than anyone ever has, by backstabbing your allies.

Bring it. Canadians could not care less. Another 25% on all electricity and 50% on all aluminum as well. Canada is not interested in your games. I will happliy lose everything and sleep in the snow before giving an inch to Velveeta voldemort. 0 compromise. None.

I want canada to stop all sales of tesla products in Canada

The term "51st state" is not a joke or a casual taunt—it is a direct and unambiguous threat of annexation. Canada has every right to defend its sovereignty and impose sanctions on those who undermine its independence. Sovereignty is not a matter of humor; it is the foundation of a nation's identity and self-determination. Those who dismiss it as mere rhetoric should not be surprised when met with serious consequences.

Trump is not affected by these tariffs. The American people are. Also the Canadian people. As a Canadian we are NOT backing down.

[ChuckWang-rtqk]

There is no reason to make an enemy of Canada.

[Vollkommen]

Nobody wants to pay more for their electricity.

Portugal here, my entire family had been planing our first ever trip to the USA for the summer of 2025, no chance now, we are looking to Canada or Mexico instead. Everyone I know is cancelling their Amazon accounts, twatter, Facebook and so on, boycotting USA products and specifically corporations holding the economy hostage. Even my conservative sister has explained to her kids that we won't be eating at McDonalds or drinking Coke anymore. I really do see this increase in people's awareness that we can all vote with our cash. Support small business, local and minority owned. We have the power to circulate money in the wider economy by choosing where we spend our hard earned coin, rather than just handing it over to the ultra rich class. Solidarity is our power 💖
