US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50% tariff on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, in retaliation for what he called "unequal treatment" of US cars, dairy and alcohol.

Everyday consumer items like wine and hockey sticks and industrial goods such as cement are among the goods targeted. However, several key exports will be spared, such as energy, potash, critical minerals and fish.

Prime Minister Mark Carney responded by saying Canada stood ready to "intensify" trade talks with the US in the coming weeks.

The White House said the duties would take effect in 30 days.

Carney is a talker. He’s going to understand the pain of hubris

I can't think of a single thing. Labatt's comes from Genesee Brewery in Rochester, New York

I can think of a thing. A SOTA water ozonator. It’s a good product to purify water for those who like that kind of thing.

As I figured, “Elbows Up” is showing itself as that kind of a serious disappointment.

WhistlePig whiskey is made on a 500-acre, renovated dairy farm located in Shoreham, Vermont. I’m OK with tariffs.

There is zero reason Canada shouldn’t be a great partner on all fronts. The PM’s lately seem to screw everything up.

Funny, I had a post taken down because I did a poor word search. The moderator says the search works. This time I put in Tariff and Canada in the title search and came up with nothing....

Tit for tat.

Like the MOU with Iran — if you continue to act like arseholes you will get kicked.

Sounds like a sharp curved stick to the eye policy.

Putting pressure on Carney. The Art of the Deal.

As long as Canada is run by fools like Carney they will remain the world’s underachiever. I see no reason to think it will change. Too many AWFUL’s, brainwashed kids and now hordes of third world leeches. It’s a shame, many Canadians are not among those. l know some but they are badly outnumbered.
