Every damned spreadsheet should have the header locked so that you can quickly know what you are looking at after row 25. You can’t change my mind.
Just immediately stop sending electricity and oil. At any price.
It would do less damage to the Canadian economy than these tariffs and be resolved a lot sooner.
Disappointed to not see Tesla on the list. Target the oligarchs behind this.
Hopefully that will be on the second round of teriffs i n 3 weeks?
I want to apologize to you guys. I’m sorry you’re forced to suffer for my country’s stupidity voting in this dipshit. You don’t deserve this.
I do love that your government is clapping back against the bully, because only terrible things follow when you appease fascists.
But it’s regular Canadians getting squeezed in the middle as a consequence. For both our sakes I hope this ends soon
I feel the same way. On the one hand, there’s nobody else I’d rather have slap sense into us than one of our closest allies. But average Canadians don’t deserve to be wrapped up in our godawful drama. Here’s hoping they can hit us hard enough to get back on the right track sooner rather than later.
Fuck me thats a long list. Here’s a summary in the order I found them. Probably missed a few, I’m on mobile and it’s Sunday…

I guess I’ll just skip those items
Realizes it’s almost all food
Well shit… at least I don’t need sand anytime soon.
I’m sure you can find food that isn’t imported from the US.
Video game consoles
Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.
-
Other games, operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by other means of payment, other than automatic bowling alley equipment
-
Playing cards
Fair. I was tired of scrolling on a touch screen by that point. Didn’t look too closely
It took me a few minutes to figure out, too.
I got tired of scrolling after just getting to Meat, so the list is appreciated.
-
- tires (listed 36 times)
That seems less targeted than I had expected.
TBH I’m in favour of a full embargo. Halt trade altogether.
- eggs (if you may add it to the great list)
- Dairy Products
Eggs, milk, cheese, butter, all of it.
Eggs are not part of dairy products. Sorry.
every store I’ve been in puts them next to milk, followed by yogourt and cheese and above huge letters only say dairy, so maybe people assume based on that? Still odd to me that anyone would try to blanket term it with dairy
I always forget those are actually separate. I was taught in school that eggs were dairy and have never broken that stupid memory :/
What part of the cow do the eggs come from? 😉
The ovaries
A curated list of non-U.S.-based alternatives to popular services, focusing on privacy and global accessibility.

These are all digital services. Europe has strong data protection and privacy regulation. The US tech billionaires throwing in their lot with the Trump administration gives them plenty of leverage if push comes to shove.
Debating heading out to stock up on deodorant and other storable goods. Not that I want to buy American right now, just that historically domestic alternatives simply raise prices to match the tarrif product prices in an effort to profit take.
I also love the NDP idea to target the techbro CEOs by putting a halt on critical minerals exports to the USA.
Tariff Item No. 1205.10.00
Rape from the US is now being taxed. I guess I’ll just stick with Canadian rape, keep it local.
One of the worse named plants of all time, thanks Latin.
And that’s why we renamed it “Canada oil” aka Canola
Canada Oil Low Acid, to be precise.
Well, part of the reason. “Canola” is really only the edible variant, which is now a bit more than fifty years old. Older cultivars contained large amounts of erucic acid, which apparently is neither tasty nor very good for you.
I don’t know whether anyone still grows the non-canola rapeseed cultivars as a cash crop.
Thanks, I could not understand what they were talking about 😂
spoiler
I thought this was about Loblaws “raping” their consumer’s wallets rather than getting it “raped” by Amazon or something.
