Canada will not lift retaliatory tariffs on the United States if President Donald Trump leaves any on Canada, @AssociatedPress reports. "We're not interested in meeting in the middle," said finance minister Dominic LeBlanc to the CBC. In addition to tariffs, some provinces have banned the sale of U.S. liquor from stores, while Canadians have been boycotting U.S. products and stores for weeks. Foreign minister Mélanie Joly says Canada does not want to "go through this psychodrama every 30 days or so."

@AssociatedPress @NewsDesk good....people, leaders who are calling the bluff of MAGA-Nazi president are making a moral, ethical stand....and will ultimately prevail. If all do the same, the American idiot doesn't hold any cards.....

@NewsDesk @AssociatedPress

Good. Now put a 15% export tax on oil & gas to bring it up to the 25% mark like the rest of it. And keep cranking it up every month until gasoline & diesel goes up a buck a gallon. That’ll twist the knickers of the American public.

@JustinDerrick @NewsDesk @AssociatedPress

The risk there is over-reaction. That would be easy to reframe to make us look like bad guys, and increase support for punishing us.

@8r3n7 @NewsDesk @AssociatedPress Bullies gonna bully. Appeasement isn’t going to work. It never does.

@NewsDesk @AssociatedPress in #EU prepariamoci, e sarà un psicodramma ancora peggiore. Certamente avremo tariffe differenziate tra stati piu "amici" e meno. Sarà molto difficile e cambierà il mondo, in peggio. Sarà una dichiarazione di guerra mascherata. Sta a noi scegliere da che parte stare. #BOYCOTTUSA #EU

@NewsDesk @AssociatedPress People in California don't want to go through this drama either. It's reached the point where an initiative to determine if California should ask to leave the U.S. and become its own country has been authorized to collect signatures - if enough people sign it, it will be on the 2028 ballot. Trump is possibly the #1 reason for people to sign it.

@NewsDesk
Absolutely! You can't count on #RosemarysToddler about anything when that switch is his favorite toy.
@AssociatedPress @auscandoc

@NewsDesk @AssociatedPress This is the right approach. Otherwise, you show the pain is impacting you and that causes you to lose any power you have in pushing back. Not precariously watching which way the sword will swing today.
