President Donald Trump said he would follow through on his threat to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico on Feb. 1, citing the flow of fentanyl and large trade deficits as among the reasons for his decision.

This dummy doesn’t even have demands. Hopefully the rest of the continent holds out and demonstrates to the US its dependency on its neighbors.

    what was his reason for stepping down? is he really that horrible and unpopular? i dont know too much about his policies but i just see him as a typical fake woke neoliberal type of dude based on what little i’ve heard about him. all i really ever hear is stories about how boomers are pissed off at him for saying there are genders or something

      There’s two reasons, the first is that i think Canadians are a lot more sensitive to the cost of living increases due to generally lower wages and higher rents. He basically has done fuck all to hold grocery stores accountable for greedy price increases or to alleviate their impacts because why the fuck would he? He also has basically twiddled his thumbs to solve the housing crisis. To be fair, the provinces have a lot more ability to solve this. The second reason is he’s been PM for over 9 years now. Any politician accumulates baggage in public perception. Basically, people are just tired of him.
