Canada's Trade War

And so it begins. The undermining of the close relationship between Canada and the United States of America. If you would have asked me during the Obama years if this was possible, I would have laughed my ass off.

But not anymore. From his majestic throne in the White House, Donald Trump decided to stick it up the ass of the two closest allies to the United States of America: Canada and Mexico.

The idea of Canada dumping products illegally is ludicrous. Our Prime Minster was exactly right to start putting on more retaliatory tariffs are completely unnecessary and insulting. To think Canada is a security risk is akin to equating Canada to North Korea.

And to me, Trump has been extremely friendly towards North Korea than it's immediate and closest neighbour. Back when he was stumping for the job, I called it correct and predicted he would win over Hillary. People were fed up with the status quo. They wanted a non-politician.

Well folks, count your chickens because they've come home to roost:

* Higher priced products
* Job losses and cutbacks
* Increasing retaliatory levies
* Isolation and protectionism work for an economy from the 1660's - until they figured it doesn't exactly work at all. Canada is a country of 36 million people. There are more people who live in California than the entire country of Canada.

Canadians are pissed off and are fed up with this bullshit. We're going to grow our own food and crops goddammit. You can keep your Dunkin Donuts, take back McDonalds, and while your'e at it, make sure Tim Hortons never comes back to Canada, because nobody likes them anymore.

Congratulations America. You've pissed off the wrong poutine party.
