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.
Is he turning his attention back to Canada because he’s upset at losing to Iran?
He’s afraid the Epstein files are finally going to hit the streets.
Whoever murdered Epstein must be feeling really dumb right now, given that basically nobody in the riles faced any real consequences.
I hope that Canada’s intelligence agencies release the PDFiles. Trump and his lot need to be dragged into their swamp and drowned by it.
He’s trying to turn your attention to it.
Like many leaders before him, he’s going into a critical election weak. He thinks he needs a win to look strong. Iran is a big pile of shit for him, so he’s looking to other “easier” targets.
He doesn’t understand Canadians at all.
The man isn’t playing 5D chess, he’s fucking sundowning
Moving to the US sounds like a good way to have all your wealth stolen from you and go broke.
do you want your kids getting shot at in school? because this is how you get your kids shot at in school…
Even with tariffs, employing Canadians remains cheaper as wages are lower overall, and you don’t need to pay for obscenely expensive medical insurance for your employees in Canada.
I don’t think Americans grasp how uncompetitive their labour market is specifically because they don’t have single payer healthcare.
Companies have figured out that you can move to economically ravaged conservative hellholes and just not offer any benefits or sick time at all!
These same hellholes recently made it so even if you are completely broke and on government funded healthcare, you must work or volunteer for little or nothing to keep it! The labor force is shifting to folks working for minimum wage or less to keep up long term care, and prisoners working for third world wages, with the rest just trying to keep from joining the first two groups.
I mean… that’s why manufacturing moved oversees in the first place.
Yep. I remember as a teenager listening to Clinton blather on about how American workers can compete with any other workers anywhere in the world, and everyone cheered. No one had any doubts at all. Even as a stupid kid I knew that was a completely insane idea. Globalization was the start of the end for the US. We really arent a smart people at all.

I feel myself die,
When verbal diarrhea,
Spews out of his mouth
Doesn’t hold the cards,
He thought this would be easy,
Never a thank you
So Stephen Miller and ICE changed their minds about immigration?
idiot
I believe he’s referring to the fact that Canadians belong to North America and people forget this and interchange the terms America and the United States of America.
To show how idiotic this statement is, here are the countries in North America
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Bahamas
- Barbados
- Belize
- Canada
- Costa Rica
- Cuba
- Dominica
- Dominican Republic
- El Salvador
- Grenada
- Guatemala
- Haiti
- Honduras
- Jamaica
- Mexico
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Saint Kitts and Nevis
- Saint Lucia
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- Trinidad and Tobago
- United States
Yup. All Americans. Thanks for making my point. And thanks for making it in an insulting fashion. I do believe you have the hang of this Internet thing.
No problem. The trick is to insult the position, not the person.
Meh, not really a big difference there, but I guess that DOES make it the trick.
If you really want to get on their level, that list would read: United States, Canada, and all of the Mexican countries to the south.
“I demand you come to the US so I can give you “executive orders” instead!”
Everyone in Canada is already in America… That was easy.
He wants to become a producer like China and his plan is to force foreign capital to make up the difference. Why should Canada worsen its position in the long run? He offers nothing in return. What a joke.
He’s scared were gonna shut down pornhub.
What a market, free from government intervention.
Clearly he needs that big dopamine hit again like when he was on stage for the World Cup win, or when he won that Nobel Peace Prize, or won that fifa world peace prize…
Who does he think still listens to his rants? Even the pundits chalk it down as empty senile air
We would have to stop deporting foreigners for that to work. Also, if everyone doing business with the US moved there, all his precious tariff income would drop to 0.
I know nobody here needs to be convinced of this, but this is just the absolute dumbest thing he’s said in a while…
Well if your looking for somthing dumber, just check back in tomorrow
Edit:spelling
Facts.
I mean this already happens with like 90% of hightech or milltech companies, because we’re not allowed to succeed…
I hope that if the US collapses we will be able to show that we are not just the shadow of the US economy (as much as it will hurt), and that if we got to keep our own IP and companies we could grow our own economy past “digging shit out of the ground”
