Retaliatory tariffs issued by Canada are set to hit some imports from the United States soon after midnight on Tuesday, intensifying a trade war between the longtime allies and risking an escalation from President Donald Trump.

Levies as high as 50% will be applied to hundreds of U.S. products, ranging from aluminum foil to raincoats to cheese. U.S. elected officials in states bordering Canada, including Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, have warned the trade dispute will hurt local businesses and consumers.

Close the border to ALL traffic except returning US citizens for 60 days.

Close all ports of entry for Canadian Goods and let them know we are invoking the Monroe Doctrine concerning foreign influence/commerce in the Americas.

Take no phone calls until the 60 days are up.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump signals that he’ll be BANNING Canadian jet manufacturer Bombardier from doing business in the US

“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!”

“They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service - All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A.”

“Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER!”

47 is NOT playing around.

USA economy is more than 10 times bigger than Canada. It is not a fight on equal level.

Maybe pull the charters of Canada-based banks like BMO and Royal Bank.

If free trade ideology is correct, than the current Canadian “trade temper tantrum” will only hurt Canadian businesses & consumers.

“Elbows Up.”

We need to be very careful with the Canucks they might send down their tranny suicide squad to burn down the White House again.
Nobody wants to go hands on with dirty suicidal Canadian trannies.

Canada bowed down to Islam. There ain’t much they can sell us that we can’t produce ourselves.
