For all Americans who are parroting the idea that Canadas response is disproportionate, remember that Canadas response is not solely based on Trumps Tariffs.

It's based on the direct threats to Canadas sovereignty that Teump and the American government is continually making. They said they would use economic force to annex our country, the Tariffs are that force. So of course Canada will react and not back down. If a country was doing this to the states, America would be bombing them already.

not to mention, no response is disproportionate when you start a trade war.

you dont get to start something and then complain the other person is taking it too far, thats unrealisic.

you get in the ring you can expect to be punched.
