In the face of insults and a threat to destroy our sovereignty, Canada is done being nice. And the narcissist-in-chief at the White House is freaking out. Howard Lutnick, Trump's top trade negotiator, said it bluntly:

Instead of Canada meekly saying "thank you" to the United States, we are acting like "Ukraine."

Canada as Ukraine.

.........

This is why MAGA is pissed at Canada for not bending. We were supposed to be an easy shakedown. The response has been equal parts bluster and whining. How else to make sense of Pete Navarro going on television to beg Canada to tone down the rhetoric? He says our talk of "throwing down the hockey gloves" is freaking the Americans out. He is asking for "cooler heads to prevail."

Navarro made the plea during a loony 24 hours as Trump threw tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel, then freaked out when Ontario responded with our own tariff on exporting electricity. So then he doubled the steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%. By this point, the American markets began to seriously tank.
