CEO of Canada’s 2nd biggest company defends Trump’s tariff demands, slams Trudeau for not stopping trade war

[rottenmelon]

The CEO of Canada’s second-largest publicly traded company says Canadians want their government to do all the things that President Trump is demanding — and slammed outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not preventing the trade war.

Trump, 78, on Saturday, signed an executive order to slap 25% across-the-board tariffs on America’s northern neighbor, citing its failure to meet his demands on helping crack the fentanyl and illegal immigration trade.

“Canada thrives when it works with America together. Win by helping America win. Trump believes that Canada has not held its side of the bargain,” Tobi Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, wrote on X.

一个见钱就跪的无耻商人，一个没有骨头的烂人。以他的智商，不会看不出川普说的都是借口吧？！这帮大科技公司的老板大部分都是TM的小人。川普上一届处于弱势时，他们对川普冷言冷语或不理不睬，甚至帮着民主党对付川普。这一届川普得势了，这帮人一下子就倒了过来，抢着给川普下跪叩头，溜须拍马，甚至助纣为虐。

这帮人无论有多少钱，都是道义上的穷逼，精神上的株儒。让人鄙视。

from another source, said Luke was disappointed with the US tariffs and government's response. but he said hitting back would " not lead to anything good" and so on.
我猜想是同在商人圈子里的他也许有不同的谈判计谋和想法。就像Alberta 省长那样不是用强硬来抗拒，也许这些商人更明白怎么与Trump 这样性格的谈判？我们应该容许不同的想法。
