Canola Oil is one of the main grocery items coming from Canada. It’s also trash and horrible for your health so let’s eliminate it and MAHA while we’re at it

The US imports over $700M in wheat from Canada as well, and this is influenced by type of wheat (both countries making different need state types) and presence of drought in the US. This could probably be rectified over a few years.

There is a TON of food manufacturing around Toronto and plenty of that goes to the US, and frankly it’s more efficient to ship to the NE than US made in the South.

Why?

Your girl and Joe are the reason for high prices (even now).

China will most likely just build some manufacturing plants here to avoid some of the tariffs.

Mexico and Canada, though... are kinda fricked.

I am worried they'll find new trading partners. What if we're worse off after the tarrifs are put into place?

They can't afford to go shopping. They don't have the luxury of time

Plus, any new trade partners cost them more in transportation

Do we export anything to these countries? I saw where Canada was imposing tarifs on us, but I didn't know how upset I should be about it?

The ethnic restaurants outnumber our American ones. It’s crazy.

Just curious … what do you consider “American” food?

What does the North Slope of Alaska have to do with Crude prices.

We import that Middle Eastern Black gold every day, tariff or not.


Now the Canadian Tar sands are another issue, only one that might need to sweat that one is Warren Buffet and his tanker trains since the Keystone pipeline was never finished, but Buffet’s got billions sitting in cash waiting for the market to dip and go stock shopping.


Aren't there entire refineries in the Midwest tooled to handle Canadian crude oil? I don't know how easy it is to retool such machinery but I imagine that will have a real cost in barrels/day in the US, right?
