Canada suspend trade talks with US.

So Canada wants to play hardball and disrespect us like this. Time to annex Canada and make it a colony like Puerto Rico, so Canadians won't get a vote.

I wonder if they are having ‘talks’ with their rogue Province.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said
“Canada declined to finalise the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week,” Greer said. “Despite the US offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walkbacks of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days.”

No thanks on that. You'd just be adding a bunch of leftists to fill in senate and house seats.

47 is threatening a 50% tariff on Canada.

They won't have any voting rights. Canadians will have the same status like Puerto Ricans with no voting power.

50% is too low. We need to hit them hard. 150%

Canada has completely committed to the WEF climate change ideology…. and now they will pay dearly for that mistake.

Talks Collapse – Tariffs Begin Now – A Direct and Confrontational U.S-Canada Trade War is Now a Reality
August 22, 2026 | Sundance
Moments ago, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered the news via his X account. Discussions between the U.S and Canada have collapsed. All trade representatives are called back home. The 50% U.S. tariffs against Canada are now in effect. A trade war begins.
First, read the statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney, with the understanding that Carney is making the first statement because the news is exceptionally bad for Canada. Worse than bad.
quote:
The reason for our notes of extreme caution is because the divide between the two economies and trade policy is just too big. There was no way for both sides to close the gap without major structural economic changes within Canada.
The issues are not points of friction, they are just too big and embedded within the laws of Canada that would have to change. Banking regulations would have to change. Intellectual property and media rules, regulations and laws would have to change. Industrial policy would have to change. The Canadian energy policy would have to change. The carbon trading scheme would have to change or be removed.
All of this would fall upon Canada to carry out in order to position their economy in alignment with the USA. There’s literally no way for their government to accomplish this against the backdrop of their political ideology.
That was the structural argument and point made by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This is also why the USMCA as a trilateral trade agreement is impossible to maintain. The only trade agreement construct possible is two clearly separate bilateral free trade agreements, one with Mexico and one with Canada. The 50% tariffs begin tonight.
A trade war is underway.

Jameson Greer’s response ….

UPDATE: USTR Response
“Tonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week. Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days.
In addition, Canada is continuing to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including, among other things, flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.
For decades, Canada has enjoyed the most favorable access to the U.S. market of any country. And from the beginning of President Trump’s trade program, Canada has continued to enjoy the best treatment in the world, even after – like China – retaliating against the United States.
This week, the United States agreed to provide even better treatment to Canada, offering significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber. The U.S. offer was also forward looking, and included a historic economic and national security partnership to cooperate on export controls, combat transshipment, enhance digital trade, and align certain external tariffs.
The offer would have led to supply chain coordination on aerospace, complementary actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations. This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7.”

So you want to annex Canada? Canada gets the same as PR, huh? PR doesn't vote you say?
Here is a sample of what PR gets without having to vote, and you want the same for Canada?
Puerto Rico receives federal disaster aid, military protection, and access to Social Security and Medicare as a U.S. territory. Residents are U.S. citizens who can move freely to any state, serve in the U.S. armed forces (contributing more soldiers per capita than any state), and use the U.S. dollar without needing a passport for travel to the mainland.
*Federal Funding and Welfare includes significant financial support, with some analyses suggesting the island receives roughly $4.60 from the government for every $1 it pays in taxes. Approximately 45–50% of households receive some form of federal welfare benefits, though access to programs like SNAP (replaced by a capped block grant called NAP) and SSI is often more limited or structured differently than in the states.
Economic and Tax Incentives feature unique advantages such as Acts 20 and 22 (now part of Act 60), which allow bona fide residents to exclude Puerto Rico-sourced income from federal taxes and offer 4% corporate tax rates for export services. While residents pay federal payroll taxes (contributing billions annually, estimated at $4.8 billion in 2022), they are generally exempt from federal income tax on local earnings, creating a specific financial environment for investors and businesses.
Careful what you wish for?

50% tariffs hit at midnight.

We should have told Canada to ‘frick off, you’re on your own’ long ago. They are a parasite of an ally.

Thanks Caddy.
So Canada puts laws in place that prohibit fair, not free, but fair trade.....and then whine the US is at fault.
Heck they have gone beyond trans shipping goods from chini and now trans ship the drug trade from Mexico.

We had it already and suspended it due to nearing a deal
Seems Canada took lessons from Iran. Trump needs to stop caving prior to a deal being signed. Keep pressure on then reward them after it’s finalized

bump up tariffs to 1000%.
