American farmers need it. Let’s use that dependence to fight back
100% export tax. Have been saying this since the beginning.
One of the three big comnpanies decided just to stop selling to the US, do not know if that has changed as I do not remember which one it was.
I think it’s actually important that Canada has only responded in kind, not escalated. I think a lot of Americans are actually pro Canada, and keeping that outlook is valuable.
The typical American’s response is irrelevant. The billionaires want Canada, so Trump will do what they want.
I think a lot of Americans are actually pro Canada, and keeping that outlook is valuable.
Is it valuable though? They can’t even help themselves let alone us
I don’t have a good response to that.
I think I might say this more often.
It just means they welcome you as rescuers once Canada reciprocates with the annexation attempt.
Stop selling it to GOP voters. Make customers vouch that they support democratic ideals. Publish their names so the ones that lie on the form get skewered by MAGA.
so, promote military invasion into Canada.
Have you not seen what they’ve done to Venezuela. Escalation does not fix anything.
They won’t be invading. They can’t even handle Iran.
So they didn’t invade Venezuela and turf out the government? Who is going to defend? Lemmy keyboard warriors?
This thread, and this comment in particular, are a pretty good summary of why it wouldn’t work out the way you think it might: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/27927781
Capitulation doesn’t work either
It’s not binary. Childish comment.
US economy is in a tailspin, gas is >$6 gallon, the midterms are 7 weeks away and then Trump’s balls will be cut off and the Republicans will be 100% focused on keeping out of jail. Feet up, make more deals abroad and just watch the train wreck, don’t jump on the train.
You’re not binary

And oil. And critical minerals. Apparently road salt too…
Road salt shortages = deaths. That’s not a political lever we should be pulling.
Well, plenty of lives depend on petroleum products, too. And you can use sand or similar to prevent icyness, as well, although you need more of it.
All the other countries have inferior potassium!
Canada has the best potassium!
thats the fries with cheese curds and gravy yeah?
I hope you are not eating the fertilizer.
It will be a great famine! the greatest famine. People come up to me and say “Mr President, no one has created a better famine than you” they say thank you mister president. And horrible Biden 5 years of 4 years of horrible policy, Biden let the criminals in, and we solved that.
Trump statement: “We don’t need COMMUNIST CANADIANA potash. Our great state of Idaho grows the best potashtoes in the WORLD. FREEDOM POTASHTOES. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
I mean, it would objectively be funny to hear them continue to scream how little they need Canada for anything in the midst of massive food shortages and crop failure.
Russia has more than we do, we have to hope that the US doesn’t turn to them.
Russian shipping is still under international embargo, isn’t it?
The US enforces that, presumably they wouldn’t enforce it against themselves.
The US enforces that
Despite the Americans frequent claim to be the world’s police, they arent the only ones enforcing the embargo.
Other countries have navies and have detained Russian ships as well.
International rules based…
Nah I can’t finish that sentence without puking.
IMC Global owns the Sask potash mines, an American company. Not sure if that is a factor.
