ANGUS: Trump's Tariffs Are Just the Beginning

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - July 14, 2025

EXCERPT: "Is Canada the next Ukraine?

Let’s be clear: Trump’s latest “bombshell” announcement of throwing an 35% tariff on Canadian goods is not a negotiating tactic. It’s part of an ongoing campaign to subordinate Canada — tariffs are just a weapon in that effort. . . . .

We Need A Real Response — Now

In response to this tariff threat, Prime Minister Carney needs to shift from his “elbows-down nice guy” approach. It isn't working. It won't work.

He needs to reinstate the Digital Services Tax. You can't unilaterally disarm in the face of a threat. He should imitate Prime Minister Trudeau, who vowed to go dollar for dollar, pound for pound, the last time Trump tried to steamroll us.
That was the first time Trump TACO'd.

Is it risky? Of course. Would it have a potentially devastating impact? Yes. But it would put enormous pressure on the American economy in a substantial way. The American people need to feel the impacts. Trump TACOs when the economy dives.

Our only other option is to watch our economy slowly bleed away from Trump's gangster threats. . . . "
