    Meanwhile Canada’s premier PM in waiting is proposing cutting domestic taxes to offset the damage. 🤡

      Ummm… that was a separate thing, and he made the announcement before Trump’s statement.

      And it’s Prime Minister, not premier.

      What is he supposed to do? I mean there’s lots but in relation to tarrifs from the US? Should he just ask if the US wants Canada to be a part of the US to avoid them? I also thought that came out before all the tariff articles so assumed it was because an election was coming up anyways. Not that I’m saying it’s a bad thing to propose in general, it sounded like it’ll help some of the lower income people which is a win in my books.

        We’re commenting on an article about Mexico proposing counter tariffs.

        No this is from his statement today.

          The PM just announced some GST checks and other rebates I thought you were referring to that originally.
