The Tariff Thread

This just in!

Canada has announced they will be building a series of dams and dikes to divert and reduce the flow of water to the South.

They are calling it "MADA - Make America Dusty Again" in reference to the American Dust Bowl disaster

We already have those.

If Trump likes to tear up treaties, this seems a good one for us to take a shot at.

I don't even like this kind of dialogue of what a future might bring being part of the US as it legitimizes a preposterous idea in the first place.

Again for anyone who may be confused:

30 day tariff pause announced by Trudeau. Unless he changes his mind.


We will now have a fentanyl czar. Man, they do know how to feed Trump the #### he wants.

[Slava]

Well, it's good news even though we will have 30 days of not hearing about it, only for it to rise again.

[stazzy33]

Another 30 days of will he won't he... just what we need for any sort of stability.

Welcome to living under the Sword of Damocles.

Drumpf is going to get whatever he wants from us or threaten to hit us with the tariffs again.

Now...its time for Canada to put the lotion on it's skin....

Excellent, Canada just set the precedent that whatever Trump wants he'll get when he threatens us. Instead of the kick to the groin he deserved we just rolled over for him.

The MAGAs are calling this a huge win for the US. From my perspective, it looks like they damaged their relationships and international markets for no gain.

I don't know if I've ever read a label in a grocery store before this, but I am not going to stop boycotting US products just because Trump "graciously" postponed his threats.

[shotinthebacklund]

Seems like things Canadians have needed for years. RCMP had said before there is 4000 independent organized crime entities in Canada. Clean the country up.

You're telling me I wasted my weekend watching all this, writing a piece, and filming a video to send to clients. And guess what...not only was that completely useless, but I'm going to have to do that all over again in ~29 days.

Yup. Pure negotiating tactic and they swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

I think we should all just take a moment to show our deep appreciation to Danielle Smith for getting this done.

[Thunderball]

I have a very hard time understanding how this couldn't be negotiated without the market chaos and the breaking of trade agreements.

Unless the Liberals were refusing to spend $1.5 billion on border protection and working with the US, this is a no brainer to commit to.

Sad that a lot of damage had to be done.

I really think Trump didn't want to go the tariff route, the white house switched their tune when retaliatory tariffs were announced. This whole border security to stop fentanyl just seems like a bs agreement to spin it as a win for him.

Canadian's just need to try and purchase locally sourced products moving forward.

Well...I didnt know that you did all that but....yeah, probably.

Is that why you havent returned your signed documents yet? I knew in my heart it was Trump but thought it might have been because of immigrants but I knew it was Trump!

Is that a real tweet? Fentanyl Czar??

Canada’s commitment today is not notably different than what it was a week ago.

[Johnny Makarov]

Yay the Czar can now confiscate up to 80kgs of fent per year instead of 40kgs.

Tell the orange rapist that 1KG = 15,000LBs.

So this is monthly thing? wtf? hahahahaha. 47 months of threats. Just send that cdn sniper with the world record for a nice US holiday.
