As U.S.-Canada relations worsen, Michigan’s Sault area has lost an estimated $62.7M due to decreased crossings. It’s bewildering, a state senator says. He recalls Canadians helping locals fix the grid after a storm: “This is our best friend in the entire world.”

As Trump’s Tariff War With Canada Drags On, This Border Community Suffers Without a VoiceUnder an intensifying trade war, parts of northern Michigan are feeling the financial pain. But with a president intent on conflict and a congressman silent on the issue, these Michiganders see no sig...www.propublica.org

He's not your best friend, he's a pedophile and rapist and if you don't do exactly what he says he will fuck you over even more. I don't know what's wrong with you guys I would cut this country off just like that and Source my products from other countries

**was. Americans chose a traitor, and this is the result. We all deserve it, in some way, I guess.

Ответ для jc

Nah. ALL of us don't deserve it but are saddled with it!

Michigan. Half of them would vote for tRump again, even so.

Jack Bergman is not "of" Michigan nor is Mike Rodgers. All they do is cower to their king trump.

Ответ для Guns of Brixton

Jack is an old man, like trump. He hasn't done anything for us

Said Senator clearly does not understand the meaning of "bewildering". Said Senator sounds about as bright as Ms. Slotkin, who had the supreme gall to come to Canada and debase us by labeling our boycott of US travel and US products "a pissing contest". They can both FRO. #notsorry

I wonder what could have happened?

Michigan state Sen. John Damoose, a (fucking) Republican is bewildered why Canadians aren't flocking to the US. Bewildered. I say terminally stupid.

Trump loves screwing over Americans.

Sad part...He doesn't fucking care!

Absolutely, disgraceful. The #Republican party is literally trying to fuk #Americans. 🚩🇺🇲

Everything Trump touches turns to drek

well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

“This is our best friend in the entire world.” That's why Trump hates them. They are far more loved & respected than his MAGA movement. He thinks that, courtesy of the U.S. military he kneecapped and dodged serving in, he can abuse Canadians. He is clearly, emphatically wrong.

This is what we get for electing a known insurrectionist pedo rapist who bankrupts every business he runs. All because he gave some permission to hate. Hopefully enough people get their asses kicked bad enough for it to sink in, always vote against republicans.

"Voters in Chippewa County largely supported Donald Trump for president over Kamala Harris, with 11,248 votes to Harris' 6,796."

Trump is a enemy of free countries

Once again, American reporting, even from an amazing organization like ProPublica, misses the point. The tarriffs are not the cause; they are a symptom. We Canadians are defending against an American government that has repeatedly and consistently threatened our sovereignty.

#secede or #revolt There's no third way

Not one word about the layoffs at Algoma Steel, adding about 3% to unemployment. When those paycheques are gone, with more to come, who can afford to cross the border? And how much of that $62.7 million loss is from the casino?

Was your best friend… 😔

A senator from a red state is perplexed about the $ loss because he's trash and unqualified for anything but throwing Nazi salutes to his master.

Senator sad that neighbor they punched in the face doesn’t want to attend their BBQ anymore. Delusional moron. Canadians are telling the corrupt US Regime to kiss our ass by staying home or travelling to our other friends homes that aren’t in the US. Get used to it.

As usual, another trashy US publication that is in left field and has no frigging clue. Stupid Americans. 😡

Trump has no friends, and by association, neither do we.

If state senator is "bewildered", then he or she is either just lying or is stupefyingly ignorant.

Didn’t Michigan give the chump their electoral votes? FAFO.

WAS your best friend. Then you stabbed us in the back.

When you vote for a rapist you’re going to get fucked.

Anyone who thinks Canadians are our enemy is schizophrenic.

The American people still are, it’s the orange shitgobblin fucking everyone over

Well Michigan, this is what you voted for. Smell the coffee yet?

It's not about the tariffs. We don't take his repeated threats to annex Canada as jokes. He ignores agreements he negotiated himself. He only speaks of us with threats and contempt. Yet most articles, including this one, only mention tariffs. Until Americans get this we can't have a relationship.

👍👍👍

The person who said it was bewildering (ftfa): "Michigan state Sen. John Damoose, a Republican who represents the community in Lansing."

Ответ для Ed Lynch

What colossal fucking idiots republicans are 

Reminder: Trump and his cronies picked a fight that no Canadians asked for. In my Canadian family we have grads of US universities, Nexus pass holders who visited often, and a Florida condo for almost 20 yrs (sold last year). None of us is doing business or visiting until this regime is gone.

Ответ для Gisaster

I apologize and understand. My husbands Canadian family are trying to get us to relocate there.

Ответ для Rural Blue

I'd really consider it if I were you. Start the process for citizenship. If Americans don't rise up in the next election then we are in real trouble here.

Ответ для realwebtraveler

I saw this shit coming and moved to Mexico. In a couple of weeks I'll have a Mexican passport.

Unless the state senator is willing to tell POTUS "Canada are our good neighbors/neighbours and POTUS should stop attacking them" he can keep his mouth shut. state GOP fear Trump and Dems in red areas don't want to be on radar Prediction: the state senator is a coward who won't tell POTUS anything

Trump got 60-70% of the vote in the northern regions of Michigan. FAFO you racist motherfuckers.

Votes count.

Of course the Upper Peninsula is the most MAGA part of Michigan.

Ответ для Kent Lind
Ответ для Meidas Clementine d'Oro Ⓜ️Ⓜ️

Sure. And there are more Democrats in Texas than there are in New York. I’m just making a commentary on how Trump is bad, even for those regions that support him the most.

Ответ для Kent Lind

Yep. We all tried. Now, we just look at them and laugh. It's pathetic really, no?

Ответ для Kent Lind

You’ve never been to the Thumb. Way worse.

Ответ для Andy

My MAGA relatives are from Au Gres. But yeah, the Thumb does look more universally red. I’ll give you that.

Ответ для Kent Lind

Was just there 2 weeks ago on my way to Alpena. Surprisingly way less Trump signage through there than when I was last there 2 years ago. Thumb? Different story. My wife’s family is all out there and diehard MAGA with a few Q-nutters. That shit is still up everywhere.

Ответ для Andy

My PA branch of the family are in Mifflin County (Amish country). The precinct where the family farm my mom grew up on is located voted for Trump 92-7. Still lots of fading Trump signs, but they aren’t doing MAGA trash talking on Facebook anymore. It’s back to farm and hunting pics.

Ответ для Andy

Most of the signs and flags have come down here in the Thumb, but the evil sentiment remains. And there are the ones with their heads down, "Just wait...just wait..." I take this to mean "Just wait until he's gone, then we will forget this ever happened." Ugh!

Ответ для Pam from Michigan

We’ll see. Last time I hit 53, there were still a lot up. I do minimize going out there because I can’t deal with her family. I’ve got a buddy with parents in Bad Axe that drives a Polestar. Only place he ever goes that people outright give him shit for it is when he’s charging it at the Meijer ones

I lived in Erie, PA for over 10 years and worked at Kohl’s. Bus loads Canadians would rent buses and come to PA, because there was no taxes on clothing and other items. I’m assuming that there aren’t many bus trips going there since TACO imposing tariffs on Canada and insulating remarks.

Ответ для blueboomer3

It was the remark that started it.

Ответ для blueboomer3

Sadly there may still be some. I’m in Floriduh and there are way too many Canadian car tags around here for their own good. How obtuse do you have to be to vacation in a country threatening to annex your own?

Ответ для Papaya Fools He/Him/Sarge/Goalie

Damn, that’s discouraging😞 - I consider every 🇨🇦Canadian that crosses that 🇺🇸border traitors to our country at this point. The U.S. is not just threatening but are actively destroying our economy so they can turn us into a U.S. vassal-state. Those Canadians in Florida are a disgrace to our country.

Ответ для JoJoFrom🇨🇦

I propose a trade. My family can take their place and they can stay here. I may be old and busted and disabled but I would be willing to fight to defend Canada, coach hockey or whatever. I already know the anthem in both languages too.

Ответ для Papaya Fools He/Him/Sarge/Goalie

I’d gladly embrace that trade & welcome you🤗🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦. I honestly hope Americans this time around can finally flush the racist rot, political corruption & corporate greed out of the fabric of your country so you can regain your democracy & start to act right. Stay strong & don’t lose hope.💙🇨🇦🇺🇸

Ответ для JoJoFrom🇨🇦

Same up there. I honestly believe Canada could have fallen to the same type had tRump not threatened you. The rot from AB was spreading. Thankfully the better person won. Though I think there are fair criticisms, he is still the better PM.

Ответ для JoJoFrom🇨🇦

My grand parents came from Ontario. They moved to Detroit in the early 1900’s. I visited my Canadian relatives often and vacationed there often.

Michigan’s Sault area is in the 1st congressional. They are represented(sic) by MAGAt Jack Bergman. It went 60% for tr*mp in 24. They are in the FO stage of their Fucking Around vote. So get the fuck out of here with that “it’s bewildering” bullshit!

Not anymore thanks to trump’s voters. They enabled this nightmare.

Ответ для Alison

"Voters in Chippewa County largely supported Donald Trump for president over Kamala Harris, with 11,248 votes to Harris' 6,796."

Of course, you seem to miss the significant issue here. 🇨🇦 Sault Ste Marie, ON is a city of 72,000 people with a strong industrial base of steel & wood products both of Trump has attacked. SSM🇨🇦 is pissed!! So imagine what happens to 🇺🇸Soo,MI(pop13,000) when 🇨🇦 boycotts them? They pay for Trump’s BS!

I grew up separated from MI & UP by water. I visited frequently. But I was also close to Fort St. Joseph were 🇨🇦 fought 🇺🇸 in the War of 1812. This is our time to fight 🇺🇸!! I am proud of the people of SSM/Algoma for #BoycottUSA Especially anti🇨🇦 Trump lackeys in MI. Fuck them I hope they are hurting!

Trump is their voice. He won there.

The American people do not support these tariffs or the actions of this current administration. Especially when it comes to actions taken against our neighbors and our allies. Recourse is on the horizon as is a day of political reconciliation.

Ответ для News From A Neighbor

🍁 Hopefully- this would be the best outcome. However when more US voters stay home than vote for either candidate in the 2024 election which we in Canada viewed as crucially important, I wonder if reconciliation is possible.

It's such a bad feeling to know how terribly we are treating our neighbor and good friends

Canada isn’t going to need what they have We are doing it for ourselves and partnering elsewhere We have some cards 😉😅 bsky.app/profile/reut...

Canadian economy set for best quarterly growth in more than three years reut.rs/3RBkZgx

Ответ для whereiswiseoldowl

Yup. Y'all are partnering with Mexico. It does both countries good. Now hurry up and become part of the EU, will ya?
