Summary
Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman expressed disappointment over Donald Trump’s newly imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, calling them disruptive to a strong trade relationship.
The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, are aimed at pressuring cooperation on immigration and drug control. Canada plans retaliatory tariffs on $107 billion in U.S. goods.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not spoken with Trump since his inauguration. Hillman stressed Canada’s desire for continued partnership but warned of strong public demand for a firm response.
I mean let’s be honest: That was not going to happen. Nobody regrouped or mobilized under Biden, even when he doubled down on genocide or when the DNC nominated him and then nominated Harris without a primary and tanked her campaign. Nothing I’ve seen in the final year of Biden’s term convinced me that anyone was going to do anything about the DNC except complain.
Trump has been a candidate for 3 elections. That’s 12 years. Where’s the change? Their system is inherently broken, just voting for the lesser evil and doing literally nothing else clearly does not work. (Emphasis on doing nothing else part, voting is good)
For the record, fuck trump; if i were american, i’d vote for kamala. though only begrudgingly, since all they really are good for is stalling. But you can’t just vote and call it a day.
PS: I agree with you, I realize that my tone may say otherwise. And KIM im not american, if i’m wrong please correct me
Both the DNC and RNC have historically been hunky-dory with the status quo, mostly because change is hard and requires a leadership geared towards doing what’s right vs what sustains their power and profis.
American politics is completely fucked up and I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done except a complete overhaul.
