Summary
Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.
Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.
He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.
Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.
Focus your anger on the American companies who have the money to buy up the mess after the economy tanks. Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft.
Pirate! Distribute! Destroy!
Also… don’t buy their shit.
what the fuck does this even mean?
The text is hinting at a kind of conspiracy where you deliberately cause a market to crash and then just buy everything cheaply. I don’t necessarily subscribe to that theory.
The meme is saying a blanket 25% retaliatory tariff is not a good idea but targeting specific items might be beneficial. I tend to agree with this. No point applying a tariff to goods for which there is no alternative.
