Summary

Canada launched an ad campaign in the U.S. denouncing Trump’s tariffs as a “tax on hardworking Americans.”

Billboards in 12 states, including key Republican areas, urge Americans to oppose the tariffs, which could cost households over $1,200 annually.

Polls show most Americans fear economic harm from the tariffs, despite Trump’s claim they are a “tax cut.”

Canada is also preparing retaliatory tariffs while rejecting Trump’s repeated calls to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state. Officials labeled the annexation rhetoric “absurd.”

    I also wish it didn’t say that, but for entirely different reasons.

    It’s an ad. Paid for by a foreign government. MAGA morons aren’t going to do much other than interpret it as Canada being scared and spreading lies, which obviously means it’s working and Trump is doing a tremendous bigly job making Canada “pay” the tariffs.
