I’m being asked what’s next? Simple answer to a complex question:. Do what we said we would do on the border. And, get our economic act together at home with the same urgency as if we were under a tariff regime this morning.

We might feel better after hitting back. But apart from the pain counter-measures will impose on good Canadians, . it may cloud who is truly responsible for the economic disaster that is about to hit many communities in the USA. 🧵.

Until Americans wake up and realize just how good they had it. And the cost of their own actions,. Canadians and our governments should be laser focused on us. This crisis will make us stronger, but only if we stop waiting for the Americans to make decisions for us. THE END.

Devastating. I flew on American Airlines to DCA just last week. It’s a tricky approach, I had a prior minor incident there in the 1990’s. But one trusts aviation restrictions & electronic warning systems. As hope sadly dims for survivors, answers & corrections needed ASAP.

Trump team threatens two phases of tariffs on Canada | CBC News. This is the correct headline. Thorough journalism here by ⁦@Alex_Panetta⁩ and ⁦@Katie___Simpson⁩ as opposed to hasty and misleading reporting by some outlets.

He also said, there is a tiered approach:. 1. Feb. 1 tariffs to pressure 🇲🇽 & 🇨🇦 on border security.2.Apr. 1 USTR study on general global tariffs application. If confirmed by POTUS, this explains the mixed messages but potentially means two tariff waves & more uncertainty.
