Germans called us "Sturmtruppen". Let's see what name the Yanks call us.

Lutnick wanted the talks to fail and charge the tariffs so the refunds go to the owners and the consumers get fleeced. The market will collapse.

Trump says we wanted the benefits of being a 51st state without becoming the 51st state.
The Pervert President doesn't understand we see zero benefits in 'statehood'.

It's like Trump is following every step that Putin made on Ukraine and applying it to Canada.

Former PM Jean Chrétien:
- If we’re going to have to stand on our own, we need to hit him where it hurts
- when he excludes energy, oil, gas, and potash from his tariffs it’s because he needs them.
- the advantage of export taxes is that they pay for them, not us
- the states that are most supportive of the republicans are the southern agricultural states, and they need potash

Our reliability on commitments such as energy and potash are sacrosanct. When we say we will deliver we should but new commitments should be to reliable allies first.

The actual intent is to make Canada an example to other countries as to not submitting to US trade policy,
And to pointout French on labels is a trade irritant? Fuck oif, what's next metric and content labelss? Screw that, we should respond with Hard Metric, no more 355ml, 340gm, 454, 946ml bullshit. 500g 500ml only.

And the latest Threat of 50% tariff on Canadian autos and trucks?
If you don't sign the new agreement, we'll violate the last one we made, again...

Doug Ford is right on, KISS MY ASS TRUMP!
