You Can't Bully Canada!

  The world thinks of Canada as the nice country. Always there when you need them. Always doing the right thing. We don't fight with many instead we choose diplomacy and fairness to solve our problems. We treat others as we want to be treated. We are decent and we strive for equality and acceptance. That is until you do something that pisses us off. That's exactly what Donald Trump did yesterday.

  Out of the blue he has decided to impose tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Thirty and ten percent respectively. The reason is so ludicrous even his own party is shaking their heads. National security is his reasoning. As if Canadian steel is a threat to the U.S. He has also decided to impose them on the EU and Mexico. 

  Just like those other countries, we said WTF???? What could his reasoning be? Well it could just be he woke up and his Canadian bacon was too crispy so he thought....I'll show them. His pattern of thought is nonsensical. No one can predict what he will say or do from one day to the next.

  So now he gets to see Canada's resolve. We don't back down to bullies. And that is exactly what he is. The Prime Minister released a list of items that will now have a tariff. Not only steel and aluminum but a whole range of goods. The response was so quick it's almost as if they knew this could one day happen. 

  Keep in mind these new tariffs, on both sides, will hurt the average person. No company will absorb those extra costs. Nope, they will pass them on to you and me. Normally this would bother me but not this time. Canada needs to show Trump we are not scared of him or his tactics. That we can, and will, fight back just as hard. Bullies must be stood up to.

  Let me be clear. This is not about the United States. This is not about Canada. This isn't even really about politics. It is about a man who does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Consequences be damned. Even when it hurts his own base, party, and country. 

  Isn't that the definition of a dictator?

***Conservative leader Andrew Scheer tried yesterday to make this a failure for PM Trudeau. It is not. NO leader of ANY country can ever predict or stop this President from doing whatever he wants. Stop trying to score points on something that you couldn't have stopped either. Voters hate that.***
