with bonus threat of increasing tariffs if any retaliation…

Charge US $30B per month for NORAD access. If Russia can strike Permean basin with nuclear ICBM then that can help their negotiations with ending war on Ukraine. Fund UBI based on NORAD fee.

Eliminate tariffs on China. Sanctions on Russia. US industry that says it will make long term expansion investments in US to cut off Canadian supplies, gets immediate China contracts in response. Or make comensurate “lease fee” for NORAD higher.

Fentanyl and immigration is complete BS. This is a declaration of war based on manufacturing a false “national emergency” pretext. Any response that doesn’t treat it as a war declaration by US is pathethic weakness and politician/Canadian treason to their CIA masters.

Make the US beg to treat Canada much better than it was treated before these tariff declarations. USA collapse is necessary for Canada to prevail. Not begging to let Trump declare you a sufficient sycophantic bitch, which won’t happen.

    Charging access to NORAD seems impractical. I think at that point they’d just annex, and there isn’t much we could do about it.

    Totally think eliminating Chinese tariffs makes sense, and we should just do that.

    I’m also pretty convinced we shouldn’t retaliate with tariffs – I think those would just hurt Canadian’s.

    I do like the don’t buy red state exports, but I may just be being vindictive.

      US military annexation by driving tanks into Ottawa has only counter to bribe a nuclear power to do sufficient damage to destroy US economy/debt sustainability. Playing nice, begging to restore colonial status, is capitulation in of itself. Just waiting for fatigue to accept extortionist demands on sovereignty.

      I keep hearing we import a lot of furniture from US. China makes furniture. If big 3 auto companies stand with Canada, keep Chinese EV tariffs, but drop solar and battery ones. Cheap batteries would make Canadian EVs competitive even as exports to US with tariffs.

      I like export tariffs the most. Raises revenue without raising prices for Canadians. Tariffs on “useless” US goods can be high, pay a bit more for Mexico/South American agricultural import shipping. Opening up China import competition is cost reduction for Canadians. Plenty of Canadian substitutes in processed food and alcohol.
