  2. That’s disappointing. I guess Canada will eventually be the 51st state if they can’t even keep a tariff up for a week

  4. > The statement notes that Ford will travel to Washington on Thursday to meet with Lutnick and discuss “a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline.”

    In case anyone can’t be bothered to click the link and read the second paragraph

  6. Ford is going to Washington Thursday on Washington’s request. If there’s any bs, ford will just crank it back up. No biggie

  7. I had hoped for Canada to completely cut off all its power supply to the US today as a demonstration of national fortitude. But this appeasement of our mango titted bully by Canadian leaders will lose them alot of respect and goodwill both inside and outside their country.

  10. Who will break this news to Canadian far left on Reddit lol?

  11. Are we gonna play the Tariff No Tariff game for the next 4 years? Jesus Samuel Fucking Christ.

  12. The adult in the room is not the one with skin dyed orange.

  14. Not disappointing. As much as I despise Ford, I think this was played right. The surcharge was meant as a wake-up call, and the call got answered.

  16. canada bent the knee!
    It’s a start.
    Now drop your tariffs canada.

  17. Rolling over at the slightest difficulty spike. I wonder if it’s the French in them.

  18. Is Fors still trying to get in the Donald’s bed?

  22. And we are supposed to “trust” the orange turd that he knows what he is doing? I wish Congress had the balls to begin impeachment based on incompetence.

  23. Oh wow that latest what 12 hours? This entire trade war is like kindergarten level.

  24. Sad! Pathetic! Commit to something. Think of how much respect you would have gotten if you warned what was going to happen, then followed through. Now you just look played.

  25. This is all theater anyway. NY gets 4% of its electric from Canada. 25% of 4% is not even noticeable.

  26. I hated it for New York and Minnesota, because they voted blue. But… Michigan deserves exactly what they voted for. The people who voted for him, unfortunately need to feel the pain to open their eyes.

    Canada – I love you guys. Even in the 4 nations tournament I was supporting Canada over USA! We are an avid hockey family down here in the south (hahah) so Canadians are our friends. I hate what this has done between us. 😢

  27. Dems in the comments so worked up ready to see there fellow Americans “suffer”. Y’all are so programmed it’s not even surprising. How many times do you have to see tariffs get threatened and then fold to realize the retaliation from other countries will never last.
