Continue decoupling from the usa and remember who pays for tariffs. This is really a win, win, win situation. Usaricans will get what they deserve. Higher prices, bad press and the smoke. Ignoring global warming and electng Taco comes with a heavy karmic debt.

Never will Canada be the 51 state. Nor will Alberta.

Let him try. He doesn’t realize the door he would open if he attempted to do this. How about Canada slaps tariffs on the US until they get their black market gun trade under control ? 8 out of 10 guns seized in Toronto alone originated from the American black market. You could argue over 70 percent of the gun deaths in Toronto are because of that gun trade, that is killing Canadians every year. And that is just one Metropolitan area.

This came right on the heels of the Gordie Howe Internation Crossing Bridge shakedown led by Lutnick and Trump. The US is no longer seen as a friend or ally by most Canadians. Totally done with the never-ending lies, threats and BS. I have no respect for anyone, any business or country, that works with this administration for gain while ignoring the evil they exude.

Americans played a big role in propping up the ottawa convoy protestors
They were trying to build momentum for their own truck convoy, which failed miserably.
Fox news gave it a disproportionate amount of news covered, and told people who they could donate to the protesters, so they could bypass the federal freeze on crowd funding protests so they can last longer.
Fox even sold ottawa convoy merch.
A trump admin official even travelled up to Ottawa to meet with the protestors (and i think) Pierre Poilievre,
of course they are getting involved in Alberta.

Trump will be remembered as the most corrupt, creepiest, and most incompetent president ever. He'll also be remembered as the dumbest president ever.

The Los Angeles Palisades fire lasted 24 days. 24 DAYS, within the borders of the 2nd largest city in the USA. You had roads to every sq inch of it and a huge concentration of firefighters and resources. We know, because even with all that, we went to help you. Explain how we're supposed to extinguish a massive, natural wildfire in an area so remote there isn't a single road or rail anywhere near it for HUNDREDS of miles. Do everyone a favour USA, educate yourself.... and don't blame the Caribbean for the next hurricane.

He wants us the “clean” almost a billion acres of forests??? Not climate change but poor forest management? Sadly the sycophants will believe all of this.

In January of 2025, Trump said he would take over Canada using "economic force". This means that any tariff placed on Canada by Trump is not just economic but should also viewed as an act of war with the aim to destroy my country.

When Calfornia was burning last year, did Mexico or Canada threaten economic sanctions or demand "compensation"? Trumpism at its worst - again!

Instead of helping Canada with the fires, they impose a tarrif. How low the us has fallen. We here in Europe help each other and yet they talk trash of Europeans.

Also this week, a Canadian pilot fighting a fire in Colorado died when his helicopter crashed. And the Canadian Airforce answered the call from Minnesota and rescued 11 teenagers from another fire.

It’s amazing that people think this is the only ‘attack’ on Canada. This has been going on relentlessly for over a year and a half, tariffs are only one part of it and probably the least of our worries, damaging as they are.

The only thing the USA should say to Canada is THANK YOU.
British Columbia pilot Nicholas Dale tragically lost his life on July 12, 2026, when his helicopter crashed into the Silver Jack Reservoir in southwestern Colorado. He was actively conducting bucket drops to combat the out-of-control Gold Mountain

Trump's insanity is a wildfire raging across the globe.
