Trump’s rebranding of Lake Ontario was just the beginning of multi-day effort to provoke Canada
Donald Trump sought to escalate his trade war with Canada on Sunday afternoon and issued a demand on Truth Social that Canadian companies wanting to do business with the U.S. reshore their headquarters within its borders.
His latest remarks come as Canadian officials warned that the country was prepared for an extended dispute with the U.S. after trade talks collapsed and Trump announced tariffs as high as 50 percent on some Canadian goods including dairy products and lumber. Canada has levied reciprocal tariffs against U.S. steel, aluminum and other exports.
On Sunday afternoon, the president said Canadian companies should move their headquarters and production facilities to avoid newly imposed tariffs. The duties are set to begin in 2027.

To all Canadians:
The only way we're not going to end up another victim of this lunatic and his kind is if we all act, every one of us. I still see Starbucks overflowing. I still see people porking out on McDonald's, Popeyes, Wendy's. People still filling up their baskets with Coca Cola and Lays potato chips.
What the fuck, people? We did way better when this when this all started, US produce was rotting on the shelves. He's literally attacking us now and I would hope that could at least get us back to that point.
You. Yes you. Stop. It's not just a coke. It's not just your favorite fries. It's evidence that your dependence on US crap is too high and needs correcting.

Also something I don't hear said enough is: with boycotts, anything is better than nothing. If you really can't live without Coca-Cola, that doesn't have to stop you cutting down on everything else. Just making the small effort on the shelves to check the label goes a long way.

At least of partial blame is all the franchisee's of those fast food places claiming "100% Canadian owned and operated" (I've seen these signs) and people falling for it, meanwhile they tithe back the licensing fees for the franchise.

Lots but I don't think this move isn't crazy or wrong from the perspective of his material interest. He's sending a message to parts of capital that aren't under his thumb / he isn't under theirs, that he'll hit their bottom line unless they materially pledge allegiance. He's trying to engineer capital flight from Canada that could hurt us enough to get us to fall in line and allow resource and market access to his side of capital to exploit and profit from our labour and natural resources. Would it work? I hope not but I wouldn't disregard the possibility.
If he's serious about this, we might see him manufacture some terrorism or drugs excuse to slap massive tariffs, perhaps even sanctions on us. As his chances of losing the senate and the house in 2 months keep growing, this shit is getting more and more about his survival, so I think the chance that this not being hot air is growing.

Even with tariffs, employing Canadians remains cheaper as wages are lower overall, and you don't need to pay for obscenely expensive medical insurance for your employees in Canada.
I don't think Americans grasp how uncompetitive their labour market is specifically because they don't have single payer healthcare.
acchariya@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1d
Companies have figured out that you can move to economically ravaged conservative hellholes and just not offer any benefits or sick time at all!
These same hellholes recently made it so even if you are completely broke and on government funded healthcare, you must work or volunteer for little or nothing to keep it! The labor force is shifting to folks working for minimum wage or less to keep up long term care, and prisoners working for third world wages, with the rest just trying to keep from joining the first two groups.

Jspelts@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1d
Healthcare is almost always paid for by 1) the individual which is expensive, 2) the employer which is expensive or 3) through taxes which is expensive.
If I had a business in Canada the trade-off I see here is substituting high taxes for having to provide employee medical benefits, and how long I think the tariffs would stay in play.
That being said, tariffs on the Canadian side are focused on US production that happens in swing states. So the further escalation here is going to be politicized as geopolitical, in addition to economical, warfare. Who really benefits? Nobody. Who pays? Average people on both sides of the border.

NAFTA largely benefitted us both, although there were some problems - though from everything I can tell, the upsides far outweighed the downsides.

daychilde@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2d
It was largely a good thing for all three countries.
What Trump is doing has nothing to do with NAFTA and everything to do with him basically doing illegal things. And stupid things.
The reason why he's not being stopped is that all systems have weaknesses. Our system of government was not set up to assume that the people elected would actively work against our own interests and everyone elses' (except the oligarchs') interests. The checks and balances have failed because the fascists have all three branches of government.

JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 2d
This comes up a lot these days, but it's pretty standard in Canada and the USA to call the USA "America". It's not just a Trump thing, or even just an American (from the USA) thing.
In Canada we would never say we are in America. We would say we're in North America, and maybe "The Americas". But saying we're in America would sound to us like you're saying we're part of the USA. And absolutely, without a doubt, we would not call ourselves "American". That is 100% reserved for people from the USA.
So I understand where the rest of the world hears the word "America" being thrown around by, well, Americans for lack of a better term (USAers?) and thinks it's weird, but in this context, saying Canada is in America is actually kind of insulting to us Canadians.
It's particularly weird when speaking Spanish, where saying someone is Americano is often used for anyone from the Americas. But at least they have "estadounidense" (basically "united statesian" which I've never heard anyone say in English). But they also use "norteamericano" (North American) specifically for people from the USA. Ugh.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 1d
It's not the rest of the world, it's mostly down to a cultural difference between English speakers and Spanish/Portuguese speakers in South America.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number
As you note, they have "estadounidense", but that should theoretically also apply to Mexico. So they can claim all they want that Canadians are American while ignoring the logic that Mexicans aren't USians, but there's no single "right" way to do things when talking about language and culture.
JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1d
OP I responded to looked like they were Aussie, and I feel like I've seen similar comments from other non-Spanish-speaking people, so it just feels like "the rest of the world" in general.
My point is that they seem to be trying to call out the US president for using "America", but in the process are maybe making it awkward for Canadians.
