@kinsellawarren Maybe we should hammer Trump after we remove the 200%-300% tariff that we charge on dairy and poultry products from the USA?

This Poilievre rally on the weekend is his opportunity to hammer Trump. He needs to. Will he? #cdnpoli

Maybe the 25% tariff on steel and aluminum simply compares to the 200% to 300% tariff that Canada charges on dairy and poultry products. Canadian supply management has to end. @globeandmail @GlobalCalgary @CBCNews

@BenMulroney What a shame that it has taken Donald Trump to motivate the Liberal Government to start clamping down on drugs, focussing on eliminating internal trade barriers and looking at currency initiatives. But hey, they did legalize Cannabis, that was inportant!!

@TheRoyGreenShow @PierrePoilievre Very good comment. Poilievre needs to stop the slogans and start up polishing his statesman image. Canadians are looking for vision, strategy and leadership. “Axe the Tax” has lost its lustre, time for messages with substance.

Trump’s Press Secretary said “Canada has bended their knee to the President; just like Mexico” If you have never seen blood boil, watch your Canadian friends in the next few days!!

@acoyne Where was Team Canada when we were trying to build Energy East, Northern Gateway? Why has the Port of Vancouver not expanded? Too cozy in Quebec with their inflated dairy system! Times have just changed……..

We are going to learn, very quickly that the finest wines, the tastiest vodka, whiskeys and rum and of course the very best beer are all the ones MADE IN CANADA!! @manjitminhas

Time for all Commonwealth countries to pull together. Trade opportunities abound with Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, India etc. Open the doors to trade and go around the U.S.A.

@RosieBarton Where are your questions about dairy supply management. We’re paying $17.00 for small triangles of American cheese. When does that tariff protectionism of Quebec/Ontario dairy come to an end?

Holidays in Mexico, Costa Rica, Asia or Europe. No holidays in the United States for a year. Cancel and re-book, a small gesture to deliver a big message.

Full marks for Christia Freeland in her interview with Fareed Zakaria on CNN this morning. Not a Freeland fan, but she got the critical points in and delivered our Canadian message for sure.

Do Americans understand how close the trade relationship is between the U.S.A. and Canada? That tariffs cost citizens money, increase costs and inflation? Why is President Trump doing this? Is it a legitimate trade issue or just a power trip? @CNN @msnbcevents @FoxNews

@dowbboy I doubt that most Americans have really thought this through. Time will tell.

@kinsellawarren We’re all with you, but more importantly “Sell Canadian.” The world wants what we have but we have to get out there and sell. We’d like to have those pipelines now, wouldn’t we!!

@WBrettWilson @realDonaldTrump @JustinTrudeau @ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe How quickly can we hold a Federal election in Canada? Having this Liberal gang in charge is like having the Three Stooges as our negotiating committee.

@realDonaldTrump A very poor decision between major trading partners. This will only create problems for Canadian and American citizens while raising U.S. costs on oil, gasoline, housing and construction costs. This will be the poorest and most ridiculed part of the Trump legacy.

MY AMERICAN FRIENDS: The President has put a tariff on all Canadian products entering the United States. This is an incredibly bad decision that hurts Canadians AND Americans. Watch for increases at the gas pump immediately!!

Wake Up Canada! We allowed ourselves to rely on one major customer. Now we’re running around like chickens with their heads cut off!! Thanks Liberal Govt. for great future vision planning, but hey, at least you legalized Cannabis!!
