Called it!

First of many. EVERYONE wants access to our market. It's just a matter of time for them to wrap their heads around the fact that the gravy train is over. Canada is the most obvious one. There is no way they can sustain their economy with the implementation of reciprocal tariffs.

Demonizing someone who is championing fairness and equality.

Interesting take. Do you apply this ideology to all aspects of economic, social, and cultural issues?

Canada did not add new tariffs during the Biden era. The dairy / timber stuff was allowed in the 2020 deal.

IMO this whole thing is more about border security and reducing fentanyl flows into the US than trade imbalances

How does the governor of Ontario have power over Canadian tariffs? Canada is confusing.


I don’t understand why he gets media invites. He never even discusses the impacts of Tariffs on Canadians, just claims to sympathize with American workers about the negative impacts.

You know tough times are ahead when we start outsourcing media appearances meant for American politician to the Canadians.

I told you to do some research on the timeline of that deal. It would help you stop asking dumb questions that are easily discoverable.

Nah.

Trump has been complaining about trade deficits and tariffs for decades, long before fentanyl importation was on anybody's mind.

In order to implement these tariffs unilaterally like this, he has to declare a state of national emergency.

The fentanyl is just the excuse to declare a state of emergency in order to give him the authority to impose the tariffs.

So fentanyl is just an excuse in your mind and not a national issue we need to address?

What are you talking about? Everything else doesn’t change after a decade.


Go find the DOW 10 years ago.
Go look at the interest rate 10 years ago.
Look at national debt 10 years ago.

I could go on for days.

What hasn’t changed? Everything has changed. What world are you living in?

*im seriously beginning to wonder if people are this stupid, or if this is a goof or sarcasm.

Surely people aren’t this dumb.

No, dude, but in the context of this discussion, which is about tariffs, it's just an excuse.

Tariffs are not going to solve border security and drug trafficking. Tightening border security is going to solve border security and drug trafficking, which does not require tariffs.

In the context of imposing these tariffs, fentanyl is an excuse.

As you know in the context of this tariff discussion, tariffs can be and are used to influence foreign governments to change their actions. In this case with Mexico, it is to do more with border security than they have in the past.

So why are countries dropping their tariffs and working out trade deals

You are a moron

You quoted a passage in which I imply that you are correct, and based on that you accuse me of being a moron.

Keep being you, SDV.

Wasn’t it Canada that kept tariffs on dairy and a couple of other products even after the free trade agreement was signed?
