It’s Really About Submission

I do think Canadians – a good number of us, at least, understand that the tariffs are about submission and nothing to do with US national security. It’s sheer bullying with all the hallmarks of bulling – unpredictability, impossible/inexplicable/changing demands which cannot be met, taunting, and on and on. We’re organizing, here, too – I thought it would be against Poilievre (our mini-trump), but turns out, it’s against trump himself! Even Poilievre is on board with this resistance with full out support for retaliatory tariffs and other withholding of necessary commodities to the US! I also think a good number of Canadians understand this may be for the long haul, at least until the pain is great in enough in the US for people to start marching against Washington screaming in rage against the insanity of it all.

Robert Reich offers a very clear synopsis of the madness of what’s going on both with regard to tariffs, but also about the coup that’s taking place in the US largely without public awareness!
