Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced Trump’s sudden 25% tariffs, warning they threaten American jobs and will inflate consumer costs.

He revealed that Trump refuses to take his calls and sharply criticized claims linking tariffs to illegal immigration and fentanyl crossing U.S. borders.

In retaliation, Canada and Mexico imposed matching tariffs, targeting crucial American exports like auto parts, agriculture, and red-state staples like famous Kentucky bourbon.

Trudeau warned American factories may shut, citing integrated supply chains.

    It won’t stand a chance of waking anyone up unless we rub it in their stupid selfish faces at every opportunity and they can’t get a reprieve from learning about how stupid their fucking choices are. Make sure to tell the trumpists laid off “Your president!” on the way out.
