We Canadians will remember the lack of votes to:

  1. End this nonsense
  2. Stop the executive branch from making up crises to violate any agreement they want. Evidence be damned.
  3. Accept this declaration of economic war on your closest ally.

If this does not pass the US. can never again be trusted with any agreement or deal, so none should be bothered to make them.

The US could never be trusted not to violate their own treaties

every single native american reservation is a testament to that we don't honor our agreements

Literally all of the US allies 10 nanoseconds after it stopped being convenient for US to support them

"Are we in danger?"

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Big difference between not "supporting" them and threatening to annex us.

[-] Zentron@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Im talking about Rojava , Afghanistan , South Vietnam etc.. for Canada its less support more "ill wear your skin"

Accept this declaration of economic war on your closest ally.

Whoa whoa whoa! Who said anything about tariffs on Israel?

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Well if actions speak louder than words, I think you're right

Interested to see how this turns out. The repub constituents are already sending death threats and yelling at town halls. If they see costs go up as a result of the repubs not voting to stop the tarrifs, a neuron might fire.

Even if all the tarifs were removed today, I will not Buy murican or travel to murica ever again. Fuck that shit hole

Good man. Even if Harris won, the fact we elected a guy that tried to overturn an election AND renominated and voted him into the office he was trying to steal is enough proof that we were a garbage country before he even got sworn in.

You can't put the Nazi back in the bottle.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can think of a better place to put Nazis. And the world has done it before.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you. We need these dipshits to feel the only thing that pains them. Reduced profits.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

forcing a vote to nullify the emergency declaration that underpins the tariffs on Canada.

One wonders why any president should have had this power to begin with.

[-] sporkler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Poutine accord: Hereby written and to be enshrined into law and agreement: upon the rescission of tariffs previously imposed by individual-1 and a public apology, Canada hereby announces it's intention to restore fair market to all previously limited American products and make available upon the fulfillment of the following condition: Ingesting no blood control medication or compounds designed to aid in the ease of digestion or control levels of cholesterol, individual-1 agrees to, upon witness by present representative of Canadian government and the livestream thereof, consume no fewer than 8(eight) servings of Poutine a day, each serving weighing no less then 330 grams (or 2 pounds, if you insist on using imperial measurements.) This condition will apply until the length of time elapses equivalent to the length of time between when the excessive tariffs were enacted until the time of their removal.

In the unlikely circumstance that a serving is not streamed for viewing a recording of the event will be accepted as long as the Canadian representative is visible in the frame and there is irrefutable proof of the current date provided. Should these criteria be unable to be met also acceptable is doubling either the (a) serving size of the remaining servings constituting the remainder of the agreement of the (b) amount of servings per day.

The undersigned parties agree to stated terms fully and without reservation.
