These leftist leaders are working against us. How do you get them to stop short of war?
Even though the simpletons are emoting big time over this, I have the idea that in the long run, Trump is going to come out of this looking a lot better. He’s already made an offer to Panama that they could not refuse.
Trump’s tariffs on Canada likely aim to secure trade concessions, better terms for U.S. exports, or agreements on energy and manufacturing. Without clear demands, the tariffs seem to be a negotiation tool rather than a permanent policy.
Key trade disputes include dairy and softwood lumber. Canada’s supply management system imposes high tariffs (often over 200%) on dairy imports, limiting U.S. access. The U.S. argues this inflates prices and restricts competition.
In softwood lumber, Canada is accused of subsidizing its industry by allowing below-market harvesting on government land. This undercuts U.S. producers, prompting U.S. tariffs, while Canada insists its pricing is fair and legal.
I don’t eat avocados and my car only has about 40,000 miles on it. Hit ‘em hard President Trump. After all, it wouldn’t be that difficult for them to actually check who is coming into their country and/or stop the endless flow of fentanyl components coming in from China.
Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar are both crashing. For Americans the tariffs won’t be significant because they are paid for by the stronger dollar
Dear Mexico and Canada,
Just stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal aliens and the pain will be reduced.
I’ve read (somewhere) that Canada and Mexico import Chinese products, relabel them as their own, and ship them to the U.S. as Mexican and Canadian products. This should not stand....
In a trade war with the USA, Canada and Mexico would be the little guys who are easy to subdue. But Trump has been talking about expanding his trade war to virtually the whole industriized world — China, India, the EU, and possibly others who would jump in on the other side if given the chsnce to humble the USA. These are opponents who can inflict a lot of pain on our swing voters if we push them into it.

And, as always, I blame Canada.
