From the USA. Hoping Canada stays strong and resists this unflushable turd

When you have an unflushable turd, you need a plumber ;)

Calling on everyone else in the West and the global economy: keep your eyes open for opportunities to support the Canadian and Mexican people.

They are standing up to this corruption and fighting it where it stands. This is going to hit them hardest first, and they deserve our support.

Canada should join the EU. They have universal healthcare and partially speak French, they belong with the civilised world.

Thank you for your support. If you live outside the US/Canada, please urge your local politicians to open negotiations for expanded trade with Canada and Mexico to reduce all of our reliance on the USA until this horrible administration is gone.

I can see an eu/Canada/Mexico/China enhanced trade deal on the horizon.

So the article mentions tarrifs by Mexico, and provides a link to them - but they just go to a tweet from the Mexican President that say nothing about tarrifs.

What action are they taking?

Canada is putting a 100% tarrif on red State liquor, among other things. Which is hilarious and I love it

Stay strong. Cut off the power grid. Make it hurt. The American people need to feel something to make them understand what's happening.

Does Canada have any ability to limit power from hydro sources to the US, if we provide such?

We need to go hard against a bully, make it more painful than they expect, in order to force re-negotiations.

They should set their sights on doing business with china. At least Mexico, I'm not expecting much from neolib hellhole Canada.
