Good. Now maybe those Canuck bastards will keep their quarters that are only worth $0.18 on their side of the border. (I have always HATED getting Canadian money in change.)

Other than the issues above, what are we hoping to get them to change? What are our biggest gripes? What are their pressure points?
Well, the whole condescending bitch stuff is a big element, but you listed some pretty big “real” issues, too.
Lumber is a BIG one. Their loggers get their stumpage for almost free from crown lands.
Your post kinda smacks of “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”

I personally do not think a future tightly aligned with Western Europe and CCP as Western European nations aggressively move towards abolishing their historical national identities in favor of open borders and an authoritarian governmental CCP style model that also aggressively seeks to punish and eliminate wrongthink and wrongspeak is a winning strategy for the long term future.
You have to start questioning what are our shared values with Canada and the Europeans? Coupled with their refusal to take responsibility for the shared burden of security and the trade imbalances I think it’s right to demand a course correction or else.

Canadian liberals need a taste of austerity.

Build a wall on the northern border to keep those limp wristed Canadians out.

No you don't. You have China. And good luck.

the bank of canada has zero gold reserves. their reserves are in interest bearing US treasuries. since the new prime minister was a former chairman of the bank of canada, it will be interesting to see what he does.

I am in the lumber business so I am aware of this in great detail. We have had duties on their lumber for decades. And they have basically cut themselves out of business. They have already cut most of the easy timber that's within range of existing mills along the CN. And they are closing 8-10 sawmills a year.
I visited a mill in interior BC before Covid. And they were getting bug kill wood from 250 miles away. Even with zero stumpage that wood cost them more to harvest and deliver to the mill than SYP does in the South. And even with subsidized rail cars, they still have $100 mbf in transportation costs from interior Canada to Atlanta, Dallas, etc.
The mill I visited is permanently closed and the parent company is bankrupt. So their internal issues are putting them out faster than the tariffs are.

No. I was just genuinely curious about if there were other issues out there I wasn't familiar with. Like Oil and Gas, or fishing, or some Auto deals or something.
The issues I brough up are substantial. But they're not "bullet to the back of the head in the VIP box" issues. Seems like we could just address them with normal diplomacy.
I hear a lot of grandstanding and name calling and finger pointing on both sides. But the actual issues seem like they can be addressed without all the drama

Do they think other countries won’t put tariffs on them?

A straight forward pushback would be blocking Canadians from reserving spots for rv vacations in US federal parks. They have very active search engines that scarf up reservations 365 days prior to camping .
Try getting a reservation to Priest Lake Idaho.

I think Trudeau going woke caused a bunch of id overreaction.
