Summary

Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.

Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.

He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.

Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.

      War yes, peace no. If you know many Canadians who’d act as suicide bombers, maybe the analogy is correct.

      Just - being livid about something is not the same as sacrificing your life to fight it.

      People talking about savagery and brutality don’t quite get, it seems, that they’ll likely die very soon. But when faced with a decision. That’s the point where most go to their occupations other than writing heroics in the interwebs.

      There are plenty of people in the US itself calling Trump fascist etc, are they committing such acts of resistance as to force fascism out of their areas? Why would anything with Canada be much different?

      In any case, I’m just getting that feel that many things in the world will be remade with pain and blood. I doubt Canada is among them.

        I dont think you know anything about this country.

        Also who said anything about suicide bombers? I know many Canadians that would absolutely risk their lives in the face of an invasion. That doesnt mean having to strap bombs to yourself.

        Watching your own country fall into fascism is very different from being invaded by a fascist neighbor.

        Not every Canadian would fight but enough to form a brutal resistance movement? Absolutely.
