Canadians still don't pay the tarrifs.

    Glad they pulled those Reagan tariff commercials to appease him. Yet again they fall for his whining bitch-fest and give him what he wants and he does whatever he wants anyway. Stop enabling him.

    Bring back the commercials. Bring back the digital services tax.

    He’s going to punish us either way, so play the ad all day long.

    Strange, I don't seem to be paying anything at the moment. I wonder who's really paying the bill? The American public you say?

    Canadian made goods are sent to the US under cusma anyways, so they're duty free. This mostly hurts vendors that buy from China and just reship without doing much.

    The bigger impact was from them getting rid of their $800 exemption, since now every package gets hit by customs & handling fees.

    Our grocery store used to sell avocados from the US and they were $4 each. Today I bought a bag of 5 from Mexico and the bag was only $3.99.

    Keep going Trump. I like these cheap Mexican avocados. Without your shenanigans, we'd probably still be stuck with American produce.

    US tariffs are on Canadian goods sold in the US. So, Canola, softwood lumber, auto parts, potash, etc.

    I think you missed my point. Every time that orange idiot opens his face, he pisses his allies off and make them non-allies. He didn't earn the relationship the US has with Canada by being diplomatic, but he has no problem demolishing it. His last term he dicked around and threw out a previously agreed upon trade agreement, so he signed a new one that was similar, and this term forgot that was his agreement and said it sucked.

    Each time he dicks around, it motivates Canada to look elsewhere for reliable, trustworthy and sane long term partners. Since the US had decided it is no longer a friend of Canada and speaks of absorbing it, Canada has decided to stop shopping with the US as much as possible. This is how I now have avocados from Mexico. If the stores put US produce on the shelf, it rots. No one wants it simply because Trump is a huge piece of shit.

    There is a growing desire in Canada for Chinese EV cars. They are just as shit as the US ones (except they charge faster and go further), but they're way cheaper. Canada put a tariff on these cars to help protect the US auto industry. China had made Canada some nice trade offers, which aren't so great for the US, but we haven't taken them yet. Keep dicking around Trump. I want my Chinese EV.

    I guess my point is, the more Trump tries to bully Canada, the better off Canada becomes.

    Bigger picture: The US is failing, Canada sees this, and Trump is escalating it. This has really benefited Canada because we're positioning ourselves to be better off when the US crumbles. Without Trump, I don't think we'd be in as good position when it finally happens.

    They were never serious about trade talks. It's all a childish game. Let's end trade with them completely.

  • So, I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but...

    They jailed a guy on terrorism charges for posting a Charlie Kirk Trump quote.

    Does the Ontario government now get charged with terrorism for quoting Reagan?

    That's how things work now right?

    Funny, I don't recall paying a tariff? Did any of you? Those Americans certainly seem to be paying a lot in tariffs though.

    US businesses impacted negatively by this will blame Canada, because their God Trump tells them so.

    US is said and done, most people here just don't see it yet or aren't willing to accept it.

    Canada has higher tariffs then Russia at this point, right?

    BC Premier David Eby is preparing a digital ad campaign stating exactly that. Canadian lumber has higher tarrifs than Russian lumber imported into the USA:

    Since Trump shit his pants, he didn't need to keep running the ad. If Trump had kept his mouth shut, it would have been a blip. Since he filled his diapers, everyone has seen it, talked about it, heard of it, know of it. The ad did exactly what it was designed to do.

    Why keep running it when it has become viral and people watch it for free?

  • Calm the fuck down.

    This only effects Canadian products being sold to the U.S.. Companies will raise the price of products, costing not us, but U.S. Americans. Their food banks are already running out in the mornings, he is litterly starving his country. While funneling money towards Argentina, and hurting his own American Farmers.

    They already have protests for "No Kings", at this rate their will be a collapse of the country, or a coup.

    I'm not sure what the tarrifs currently are, but I'm not sure this is as dramatic as it sounds.

    As an example, if the tarrifs are currently 30%, raising them 10% over and above what they currently are would make them 33%, right? ....right?

    Then again, he's already proven that he can't do maths

    Yeah no he means that if they’re 30% he’s making them 40%.

    Again, unilaterally and without the vote of Congress, which hems supposed to need.

    Can someone please remove him? What the fuck are we even doing here?

    Is there a chance he means the sectoral tariffs, or is this just another symbolic one we don't actually pay in practice?
