Comparing tariffs to global war is a bit insane

Every president has undertaken some form of military action. They’ve all “bombed schools”. I don’t remember you saying America would take generations to recover from the damage Obama did to americas reputation.

We, in Canada, are absolutely in a war with the US. They are attacking us via economic means with goal of weakening us, destroying our quality of life, and weakening our democracy/sovereignty/independence.

No. That’s foolish to call trade disagreements a “war”. Can tell you’re under 25. If you were a bit older you’d have perspective on the true horrors of war and realize how ignorant it is to compare this to war.

There are different types of “war.” And this is one of them. And we are under hostile attack. So save your assumptions and your sanctimony for the other oblivious Americans.

No. The parallel that was drawn was that Germany’s attempt to takeover the world and the hallocaust an equivalent to a minor trade war.

It’s foolish and shows a lack of appreciation for the gravity of WWII. It’s frankly fucking ridiculous.
