The team from @theaircurrent is seeking more information on this statement from the President. A massive amount of the U.S. fleet of mainline, regional, helicopter and military aircraft are "made in Canada."

I know it is hard to believe, but he actually believes other countries pay the tariffs he imposes on them.

Minister Denby · Jan 30

Not to defend the orange menace but what actually is going on with Gulfstreams in Canada?

David Steuer · Jan 30

He means he is going to charge the U.S. a 50% tariff on Canadian aircraft. Surely by this point someone must have explained to him what a tariff is. Maybe they used hand puppets.

Aster Vérité · Jan 30

The delusional twat is once again trying to circumvent safety measures designed to protect consumers and air travelers. Canada has unique environment and deicing requirements must be met by foreign and domestic manufacturers both... and proven Fuck america

Every US carrier should be on the record right now, declaring Trump is a demented lunatic.

@experimental22.bsky.social · Jan 30

The president of the United States is a hostile, demented, delusional madman. It is the greatest crisis ever faced by humanity. Worse than WWII. Get your affairs in order, not that it will probably matter. Hug your kids, that matters.

Amanda E · Jan 30

What a great way to make Canadians feel warm and fuzzy about buying ANY American aircraft, never mind the remaining F-35s! At this point Canada should go with the Gripens. Anything else would be interpreted as capitulation to abusive tactics, encouraging the US to treat Canada even worse in future.

Just like with the tariffs, Trump "punishes" other countries by punishing Americans.

Dwight Williams 🇨🇦 · Jan 30

What the HELL. The Vulgarian's team is working up a *shopping list* of excuses to invade and annex us at this point.

I'm not convinced he has thought this one through. No surprise there then

So Gulfstream offered him a plane, right?

Hans · Jan 30

How about GA prop aircraft? Diamond builds them in Ontario. And does this decertify exiting aircraft already in the US? God, I can't believe I'm asking these questions.

@banana-jam.bsky.social · Jan 30

Wait, he’s punishing Canada by making US airlines stop using thousands of aircraft they ALREADY PAID Canada for??? How does that work? Well, I guess this answers the question “How fecking stupid do you have to be to bankrupt a casino?”

The great irony being that Canada has sold many aircraft to the US in the past and currently sells relatively few.

How are those airline Inaugural Fund donations working out?

@airspaceiowa.bsky.social · Jan 30

At the moment these are all the CRJ, CR7 and CR9 Canadian made aircraft airborne in North America

@brownsfansince79.bsky.social · Jan 30

Trump will walk it all back and claim victory soon enough and within 24 hours we will be talking about the next nightmare thing this incompetent blowjob cooks up.

Fodder650 · Jan 30

Oh is he going to force countries to buy 737 Max's because of evil certification programs next?

Billy Jarrett · Jan 30

Carneys best move here is 🤷‍♂️ Even without the Bombardier threat - Trumps ultimatum is to put 50% tariffs on an expensive VERY durable good?

@lookalion.bsky.social · Jan 30

Beyond the obvious things here - TACO, he's just ranting - this is also self-contradictory, isn't it? Decertify, so you can't sell it, and also a 50% tariff...on the thing you can't sell? Am I reading this right?

Langdon Grant · Jan 30

Literally every major U.S. airline uses a *lot* of Canadian-made Bombardier regional jets in their fleets. So yeah, this should go over well with them.

@warrenotwasteland.bsky.social · Jan 30

If we could just harness the power of this stupid, we could light and heat large metropolises and rural power grids for centuries!

@namehereguy.bsky.social · Jan 30

This is one of those crazy rants of his that he can't possibly actually stick with for more than two weeks. I'm guessing we end up at no decertifications, 10% tariff.

Wayne Gauthier🇨🇦🇰🇷 · Jan 30

The US president played this on AF-1, on repeat, all the way home from Davos. youtu.be/mIsnIt1p978?...

Kevin Miller · Jan 30

"Now you'll excuse me as I go kiss Putin's ass. Again."

James Dallas · Jan 30

I could be wrong, and certainly tell me if so, but I suspect a lot of these aircraft that are (allegedly) getting grounded are the ones that fly lower-demand hub-spoke routes to smaller cities like ATL-Mobile or DEN-Boise. In other words the most-inconvenienced people are likely to be red staters.

Ben Smith (he/him/any) · Jan 30

and it's for a bunch of... "2 engine business jets"? So it's so his friends can fly their private aircraft into Canada easier?

Burrowcrat · Jan 30

It’s not just that Trump is corrupt and a dictator and just the worst person possible for the job. He’s also a stone cold idiot.

Charles Cooper 🇨🇦 · Jan 30

He has finally figured out that Canada is going to buy Saab Gripen E's, not F-35s.

Sam · Jan 30

Thing to remember is this isn't an Executive Order at this point in time. It's just the old man yelling at the clouds. If it's an Ex Order it will also put an end to lots of GA not just biz jets but also aerial fighter fighting & personal aviation with comp like Diamond & Viking.

@scharlatanka.bsky.social · Jan 30

Is this on top of the 100% tariff for making a trade deal with China?

@not-a-beholder.bsky.social · Jan 30

Gulfstream seems to think that Transport Canada HAS certified the G500/G550: gulfstreamnews.com/en/news/?id=...

Good fucking luck cancelling half of your regional flights because of a demented pedo fascist. All CRJs automatically grounded
