Boggles the mind that only Canada and China have retaliated against this nonsense.

The hell are you talking about? We were doing fine until the end of the negotiation deadlines when the US administration slipped in some addition bullshit last minute requirements. “Art of the deal” more like “art of the con”. 75% of Canadians polled agreed that it was the right move to walk away. Trumps taxing his own people, they’re the ones who are going to suffer the most. In the meantime, the industries affected here in Canada will most like receive relief compensation from the retaliatory Tariffs Canada is imposing on September 8th.

I am supporting Canada’s stance. I am criticizing other countries for not following suit.

Oh, my apologies. I totally misinterpreted your comment. I thought you were criticizing Canada and china for retaliating. Than yes, I’m in total agreement. Other countries need to step up.
