@imvii Perhaps since little donny says he does not need anything from Canada we should shut off his electric and oil now. That would be before he could effectively replace it.
I'm down for it.
There is a little buzz that Trump is going to back pedal in a day or two, which would be hilarious. But I think we keep the pressure on even if he does.
None of this back and forth shit.
Agreed. No backing down now. Keep the pressure on and increasing. This isn't ending any time soon.
It will be a shit show until Canada and the rest of the western world work out agreements independent of the US.
Isolating a fascist power with the strongest military in the world doesn't work. Eventually they work up the balls to use it.
Every nation should be prepared for what happens when the purge of the US military and government is complete and only loyalists hold power.
When you have a 25% tariff, additional tariffs really don't matter.
Trump doesn't understand he's a bitch no matter what he does.
The real problem is that Trump's supporters don't understand tariffs, and wouldn't believe the explanation anyway because to them it just sounds like Orange Man Bad.
When the US imposes a tariff on Canada, importers of Canadian goods pay the tariff to the US government. To recover that cost they raise the prices they charge American customers. So Americans end up paying the tariff. The only damage it does to Canada is that the tariff could discourage US importers from buying certain goods from Canada if they can get them somewhere else without paying a tariff. That happens in some cases, but in others Canada is already the cheapest (or only) source of a high-demand item, so Americans will just pay the higher prices - the way they're still paying jacked-up COVID prices for so many things, for example.
Millions of Americans, being too dumb or unwilling to grasp this, think these tariffs are Trump heroically saving them from the evils of foreigners who want to destroy their Freedom.

Reports from people who know him, Trump is one of these people. He clearly doesn't understand the process.
“I’ve been in the room when it’s been explained to him, and he doesn’t understand it, but he likes tariffs,” Bolton said.
The areas where they overwhelmingly voted for the orange dumbass are in for a shock. Here is a list of the products that canda has put tariffs on.
Combined with a strong dollar that's a huge blow to U.S. agriculture and manufacturing. FYI U.S. Agriculture is in the worst overall depression of the past 50 years. The strong dollar has basically has given the entire industry a beating.
Obviously it's the deep liberal swamp state's fault. Trump's going to make Canada pay for it.
not to mention any potential compound tariffs on complex goods likes automobiles for example.
Prices skyrocket immensely.
The housing market is only going to get more expensive, etc.
By compound tariffs, do you mean extra tariff fees due to repeated trips across the border in the manufacturing process?
I can barely afford to live here now asshole
Never could have
100%....hmmm. Yeah 200%!
Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.

In 6 months, he's going to be talking about how Canada started this trade war.
They be talking about it for years. Kinda like how 'Lost Cause Confederacy' idiots call it "the war of Northern Aggression" even though it was started by the confederates shooting at an American fort.
That’s only if he’s still breathing in 6 months
He's basically saying it now. He is calling his current tariff "reciprocal".
the classic American strategy of preemptive reciprocation
Weapons of mass devaluation

Ok it's starting to feel like a game now. Can we cause American hyperinflation by a targeted tariff feedback loop?
