Yup, I can see this grandstanding for votes all the while the media uses subliminal headlines for the low IQ liberals who just scream for no reason for attention: “US/Canada At Economic War”, “US/Canada No Longer At Trust”, “US/Canada At Deep Odds”, etc.
Carney is a total Chicom crony.
Isn't the first time. Before he turned traitor, Benedict Arnold attacked Quebec in 1775, but was repelled. Maybe second time will be the charm.
At the rate the Cdn dollar is dropping, I think my annual vacation trip to the USA will be a coffee at Northport and a photo of the tallest tree between there and the border crossing.
Can’t wait!!!
LOL! Tariffs aren’t an “attack”. If they were then Canada has been “attacking” America for years with sky high tariffs on items like cheese and dairy products.
I see some of our northern neighbors are upset that president Trump is putting America first now. Trump’s tariffs will bring America back to the manufacturing powerhouse it is supposed to be. It won’t happen overnight but it will make a huge difference in the future of the country. I’m. Sure our competition isn’t happy. Trump is the only man with the vision and guts to do this. I am happy we have him again.
Why do so many chumps fall for this?
The tariffs Canada has on American dairy imports only kick in if America floods Canada with so much dairy products, a ludicrously high quota that TRUMP HIMSELF NEGOTIATED within the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement in 2018. POTUS touted it touted as “the best trade deal ever made.”
And it was a great deal. Trump’s agreed quotas haven’t been breached. The USA would’ve had to double its dairy sales to Canada to ever cross the threshold.
And that’s why all dairy trade to Canada, currently, is still tariff free.
Rinse and repeat for dozens of other trade items where a tariff exists on paper but where the threshold was set so high, the USA was nowhere near ever having to pay it.
President Trump’s new tariffs are not reciprocal. If they were, they’d have a reasonable tariff-free trade quota. Tariffs that kick in on the first tonne of goods are not equivalent to tariffs that only kick in with the millionth tonne.
