Dear Canada, please either A) Cut off all trade with the US, or B) add a 100% export tax on potash and lumber, and hold those until there is a regime change. He didn't honor NAFTA or his MCA trade agreements, and has already broken the most recent tariff agreement. You keep giving inches and he will keep taking miles. ELBOWS UP!!!

Unfortunately we still rely on US trade at the moment. We are seeking alternative markets but it is going to take time.

Also cutting off potash is certainly an option, but it is best reserved as a nuclear last resort. If timed right, it could potentially collapse the US agricultural sector but tariffs would be the least of our worries if we did that.

Another option we need to consider is an other collaborative selloff of US bonds and other measures to devalue the US dollar.

What are the tariffs on the Epstein files up to now?
