Canada will retaliate against new U.S. tariffs by imposing its own trade barriers on U.S. steel, aluminum and other products, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday.

CNN is unable to reach Terrance and Phillip for comment.

"You guys are dicks!"

[wastedyears]

They mad bros.

[RinaseaofDs]

Sorry man. I’m a little tired today.

-—All they give us -—

Well we buy lots of oil and lumber and other stuff.

People here lke to whine about Mexican trucks but I spend lots of time on the road and see almost 0 Mexican trucks. Canadiantrucks are plentiful they deliver and then pick up. We have good trade with Canada.

Here we go.

“You shoot yourself in the foot, eh? Well two can play at that game.”

Utter stupidity.

“They are used to pry open markets from which your own products are defended.

US companies pay 25% for every car sold in China. Ergo, we sell no cars in China. China pays no such tariff, nor does Europe.

That’s going to change.”

It probably won’t because GM makes and sells over one million Buicks a year in China.

No need to apologize. Have a good day.

Works for this Calgarian.

Floridian speaking here....Can we impose a tariff on the Canadian winter medical tourists?

[tcrlaf]

Canadian mining stocks are crashing, HARD. I guess this means we can reopen the Northern Range iron mines again, creating good- paying AMERICAN JOBS again!

> We’ll be paying out the azz for hockey pucks now. <

I'm not worried about Canada putting tariffs on hockey pucks. I'm worried about tariffs on any new episodes of The Great White North.

Which begs the question...... who wants an American car?

I think the market is for pick ups and Jeeps

[Mr. K]

It’s OK

Let’s see who caves first... The Genius Billionaire Businessman, or PM Zoolander.

[Mr. K]

Take off, eh?

[mkleesma]

The problem is that many companies in Canada are in cahoots with the Chinese and others - they import products (like steel), rebrand it as Made in Canada, then ship it off to the US.
We’re not stupid, and neither is Trump.

[bert]

Hmmm.... Diseased Snow Birds?

As a matter of interest, We camped in a big RV camp on the South Texas Gulf Coast and the whole place was full of Canadiens. Every day at 4:00 the party and the drinking started.

Who is that homely short-haired Indian woman on the far right in your picture.

[robroys woman]

I suspect Joran Peterson would be all for it.

[sparklite2]

So, if we do it, it’s a tariff. But if Canada does it, it’s a trade barrier. Journalism wouldn’t be journalism if they weren’t trying to manipulate you somehow.

[Bulwyf]

Some of your best allies are here, don’t lump our retarded government in with the good people, same as me not judging you all based off of Obama.
