Freeland: Trump’s Pushing ‘Dumbest Tariffs in History’ on Canada
Breitbart ^ | 03/07/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/08/2025 5:33:44 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that President Donald Trump’s tariff plans for Canada were the “dumbest” in history.

Freeland said, “There have been more flip-flops than we can keep track of here in Canada. But what we do know is, you know, the prime minister is right the Wall Street Journal is right, these are the dumbest tariffs in history. This is utterly self-mutilating. It’s really a perverse approach, Anderson, because America is hurting itself, moving in this direction.”

She continued, “The president is killing the U.S. stock market. Your stock market is actually performing worse than the stock market in Europe or in Canada. You’re going to raise the prices on gas. You’re going to raise the prices on groceries. You’re going to make electricity more expensive. And all for what reason? Because Canadians aren’t nice enough. I mean, come on, this is just utterly absurd. America is hurting itself.”

Flak is heaviest over the target.

The more they scream the more I believe President Trump is right.

We don’t need Canadian oil or gas or lumber or anything really, but they would tank very quickly without our business. Ever had a steak from Canadian beef? You can chew it forever. They do have some incredibly beautiful country, but so do we, and I can’t really think of anything they are famous for except some rock groups, and some jazz musicians.

No one understands the word ‘reciprocal’. Blame our education system.

Never forget who and what Chrystia Freeland is. Just ask the Canadian truckers.

The woman is visibly a psycho. Something has to be wrong with Canadians that can’t see the psycho in her.

Liberals don’t mind doing these things, as long it’s for the climate change cult or disrupting supply chains in response to the Russia Ukraine War.

Freeland is not only an idiot, she’s also a hypocrite.

Exactly.

“Totalitarian types” aren’t just the usual suspects from the past.

Nowadays, they’re just as likely to be wearing a pink hat & spouting feminist ideology.

Where have I heard this before from critics of Trump claim he doesn’t know what he’s doing? Such claims are made by those too dumb to keep their mouths shut and eventually they get proven wrong. Over and over the same thing occurs but the stupid fools never learn anything. Eventually they wind up mad and angry at the world they live in.

If we import a bunch of stuff from a country and we get bunch of fentanyl with it, what should we do?

Because Canadians aren’t nice enough.

Yeah, that's it.

Why don't you put a sock in it Freeland. How about stopping the illegal migration and
the fentanyl pouring into our country?
