Yes, we're dealing with a madman. You're suggesting we act just like him. No, harming more people voluntarily is not the answer.

(not canadian, or american; take that as you will)

not acting like him: acting in retaliation with measures that hurt the US more than canada… things like IP and copyright protections, digital services, etc

his blanket measures don’t take into account trade that’s largely beneficial to US companies - they’re stupid blunt instrument crap because thought is too hard… trump hurt himself in his confusion

retaliating in precise ways can extract value from the US without harming the canadian economy nearly as much

As I saw someone link yesterday, John Bolton (noted warmongering piece of shit) said he was in the room during Trump round one when people were trying to explain tariffs to him. Bolton says he was unable to comprehend.

absolutely… and in those hands they can still be a damaging weapon, but they’ll never be as powerful as someone who knows how to wield them correctly. brains can win, or at least provide a formidable fight… but no matter what, both sides will feel pain
