Trump’s rebranding of Lake Ontario was just the beginning of multi-day effort to provoke Canada
Donald Trump sought to escalate his trade war with Canada on Sunday afternoon and issued a demand on Truth Social that Canadian companies wanting to do business with the U.S. reshore their headquarters within its borders.
His latest remarks come as Canadian officials warned that the country was prepared for an extended dispute with the U.S. after trade talks collapsed and Trump announced tariffs as high as 50 percent on some Canadian goods including dairy products and lumber. Canada has levied reciprocal tariffs against U.S. steel, aluminum and other exports.
On Sunday afternoon, the president said Canadian companies should move their headquarters and production facilities to avoid newly imposed tariffs. The duties are set to begin in 2027.
To all Canadians:
The only way we’re not going to end up another victim of this lunatic and his kind is if we all act, every one of us. I still see Starbucks overflowing. I still see people porking out on McDonald’s, Popeyes, Wendy’s. People still filling up their baskets with Coca Cola and Lays potato chips.
What the fuck, people? We did way better when this when this all started, US produce was rotting on the shelves. He’s literally attacking us now and I would hope that could at least get us back to that point.
You. Yes you. Stop. It’s not just a coke. It’s not just your favorite fries. It’s evidence that your dependence on US crap is too high and needs correcting.
At least of partial blame is all the franchisee’s of those fast food places claiming “100% Canadian owned and operated” (I’ve seen these signs) and people falling for it, meanwhile they tithe back the licensing fees for the franchise.
