Digital billboards will be installed in Washington and other U.S. cities that Ottawa says will be 'hardest hit' by tariffs 'due to their heavy reliance on trade with Canada.'

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.”

    The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

    All is going according to plan.

      It doesnt work like that. Most billionaires dont have billions of dollars in the bank. Their wealth usually consists of stocks, which would lose their value.

      Even as a conspiracy theory, it doesnt make sense what theyre doing.
