Never thought I would ever say this - but do you have 3 cheers for Doug Ford!

Trump's net approval rating has fallen in seven of eight states that Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canada to target with additional tariffs because of their political importance to Trump's base.
Washington and Ottawa’s deepening trade dispute could put pressure on American producers shortly before the midterm elections. Voters, exporters and Republican candidates face the clearest risks in places where economic ties to Canada collide with weakening support for Trump.

Cheers!

I think they recognized that the tariffs are worth the cost given how Canadians have coalesced around this. It's a moment of patriotism for a country that is moving forward with bold actions across a variety of sectors. Their "enemy" is weakened and moving backwards. Canada knows it and so does every other U.S. ally.

So the point is not to benefit the Canadian people but to hurt Trump.
Don't know how that's going work out for you, seeing we buy 75% of your exports, and you supply a mere 15% of our imports. Good luck, eh?

P.S. I'm sure that cozying up to China will also be nothing but positive for you..

@Ynotisay You could be right. But I was replying to Nanoose, because that seems to be his point.

@daydeeo Yep the point is hurting Trump - hurting Trump in the mid terms and in 2028. You will probably thank Canada one day

@daydeeo Orange dumbo made it all but impossible for our friends to start safeguarding themselves against his insanity. And that the hard truth MAGAs don't get.
