The latest tariff barrage wasn’t just another trade fight. It may become the moment Canada finally stopped treating the United States as its only economic future.
I can't get my head around the fact that the strumpet wants to punish us by making everything more expensive for citizens of the USA. Mathew Moron, the Ambassador Bridge guy, is opening a cement business in Canada. Good! Let's put a tariff on cement. The NHL has 25 US teams and 7 Canadian teams. Good! Let's put a tariff on hockey sticks!
And on it goes. He still hasn't figured out that the people of HIS country pay the tariffs! We may sell fewer, but for many commodities we're just selling the difference to someone else. Which leads to the big gun items.
We don't need another pipeline to sell more oil; we need oil to sell to someone else. We're electrifying Canada for development, but there might not be any left over for sale outside Canada. Today the Premiers signed off on an interprovial accord to sell alcohol to each other. We don't need U.S. booze. We're developing Churchill to sell potash from Sask overseas. A competitive market makes for better pricing. The world is hungry for critical minerals and we have them. We are developing the output ourselves and not just selling raw ore.
We may need the USA right now, but not forever, and maybe not for long!
I completely agree. Nothing about this latest tariff makes sense but Tariff Trump is still trying to figure out how to replace the huge tax cuts for his billionaire buddies. Place tariffs on consumer products so US consumers pay for his billionaire buddies tax relief.
Honestly even though I should technically worry I can’t even take this new round of tariffs seriously simply for the fact that they’re based around the premise that these idiots don’t understand how Mother Nature works
You know Fred, one of the many reasons for imposing this new round of tariffs is that the Argentinian and Spanish football players showed more respect to Claudia Sheinbaum and Mark Carney than they did to the fragile, ego sensitive leader of the US. ( I refuse to call him a President). It is just one more example of his fragile, infantile behaviour. Canada is best to leave him and his cronies in the rearview mirror. We have to remember that he is but the expression of something that has been dormant for many years. Once he is gone, there will be no magical rebirth of cooperation between out two nations. A reestablishment of cooperation and, most importantly, trust, will take years, if not decades to establish.

Nothing that lunatic gangster does makes sense. Absolutely nothing.
