Basically, if country that has a negative trade imbalance with another country then if that country stops trading with them that negative imbalance disappears. This isn't a theory, this is reality and what happened in 2016-2020 with Trump's trade war with China. Now consider America has a negative trade imbalance with the entire world, and a specifically high trade imbalance with Canada and Mexico.
Tariffs aren't even over the trade imbalance anymore. It's parts to get the US less reliant on foreign goods, parts to get Canada and Mexico to bend the knee because he honestly made a small ask of both of them, and parts getting an entirely new trade deal
 
They can't become a client state of China because they'll get kicked out of NATO and maybe even the Commonwealth
Canada is basically already a client state of China. CCP sends money to Canadian politicians, their triads operate there with no repercussions.

Canada is a depressed sigh of a country, willing to sell itself to the highest bidder.
 
The funny thing is Blumpf's tariffs are actual smaller than the 28% energy tax Trudeau plans on imposing in the spring and Canadians have absolutely no issue with that because they are retarded niggercattle.

Canadians are so brainwashed into their American Obsession that this shit might actually save Trudeau and the Liberal Party. It's complete NPC behaviour. USA bad.
 
The United States can probably win some kind of economic trade war of attrition with its neighbors. A potential issue that may arise from this is Canada and Mexico may start distancing themselves even more from the USA and run to a country like a China for aid in some way. The Chinese may also see some kind of opportunity in all of this.
They're already Chinese puppet states. Mexico has a WEF puppet in charge and Canada's Trudeau called China the ideal government all nations should strive to achieve. How's that going for them? Mexico is effectively BTFO'D. Canada is being told stfu and become the 51st state and Trudeau is out.

Mexico's GDP is lower than both Alabama and West Virginia aka our shithole states.

Canada's economy is fairly substantial but still fucking tiny compared to ours, they're also heavily heavily dependent on us for energy and metals imports.

Calling it a war is a bit generous. Blumpf was right to call their bluff, they won't last long.
All wars are economic. The Mexican US War lasted 3 days for a reason. Mexico has NOTHING. The US would fuck them so hard. That's why they cucked on the deportations.

all China produces is contaminated slop. Chinas a paper dragon at this point.
Chinks go into foreign shit hole countries and build roads, bridges, and power plants to gain favor. The problem is this puts them in China's camp. Except they're Chinese built roads, bridges, and power plants and they're trash. Then they export a bunch of Chinese nationals into the country to gain political influence. The country gets optics, the shit falls apart, and Chinese get everything plus revenue. Remember, Chinese don't believe in concrete. If skyscraper falls, that's good for business because now you need another skyscraper. Buildings are made to last 10 years. Not 100. Good for business.

If you could debunk the avian flu that, that would be perfect.
Gonna need Kash Patel to investigate the NIH, EPA, and their associates for that.
 
I guarantee that most Canadians have no idea they are even a thing, and they will blame the USA for it now.
This they don't. Most foreigners don't pay attention to politics. US Politics is all they watch for theater and show. It's not a cultural thing like it is in the US to pay attention.
 
If this week taught me anything, it’s that I don’t want America to absorb Canada be added I don’t want their politicians in this country. These people make the Green Party look sane and tolerable by comparison
You seem to be under the impression they'd be given statehood for some reason if it ever came to annexation. They wouldn't because only Congress can create states and no Republican would ever bring in a left wing state unless there was a conservative state to maintain the balance and even Canadian conservatives are more left wing than democrats. I tell people the same thing when they think Greenland would become a state. Trump is just trolling Canada.
 
While the site was down, Trump tweeted that Canada should be the 51st state if they don't want tariffs:

He also called out the "Tariff Lobby":

Considering the Fentanyl angle, wouldn't Canada becoming the 51st state just exacerbate the influx of the drug into the greater US? Presumably there'd be no border crossing at that point so smugglers would have no opposition to sneaking it into the country, right? I can imagine manufacturing the drug would be affected, but what about the stuff that's ready to smuggle? I don't really get that part.

If Canada were wholesale incorporated into the US the majority of the territory would vote blue, and unless the number of Electoral Votes is evenly spread it'd guarantee a constant blue victory.
As much as I love the meme, I don't want a US-ified Canada.

Perhaps but it is objectively easier to watch over what flows in and out of a relatively small amount of airports and docks then it is to constantly keep guarding a 5,525 mile long border. If domestic drug smuggling is dealt with all you have to worry about is the stuff coming overseas either by air or sea.
