Our previous shitty leaders, all them mofo’s should have retaliated equally in the beginning instead of letting us take it in the ass as our domestic producers raise their price to just below the foreign tariff amount.
Remember when first term Rump tariffed Canadian lumber because they heavily tariffed ours, I do, lumber went thru the roof for a long time. Canuck citizens and us were paying the tariff. I heard you, well, who collects the tariffs. Rump recently screwed us rebating the corporations with the tariff money the citizens paid.
Sales tax, you want to pay your local city sales tax on a higher tariffed price? Oh wait, who collects sales taxes?
Before income tax government’s, as in the USA, were financed by low tariffs. How are they financed now? Should have been a revolution in 1913.
Is this the same agreement with Iran that Trump announce 37,589 times or is this a different agreement?
Trump’s word means nothing. We are arguing with Canada now because Trump broke an agreement he signed in his first term!
Tariffs are a tax on consumers. Trump is taxing us every time we purchase anything. Like a Bear Claw said tariffs make imported stuff is more expensive because and domestic stuff also more expensive.
Meanwhile we all keep dancing at the rhythm of the inflation song!
Exactly my thinking. From now on, any agreement Trump announces can be considered DOA. It has become an established pattern. And on the off chance he does get an agreement done, it just means we are going to get fucked harder than we already were.
A sign on the Crown Royal display at the package store said, “stock up today as the next shipment will be twice the price”. I don’t care for Canadian whiskey.
No need, they are happily fucking themselves already.
Math is simple, Canada has been placing tariffs on pretty much all U.S. goods going to their country, while we for 60 years let them do so without any penalty to their producers selling in the U.S.
They need our market far more than we need theirs, Carney will blink sooner rather than later but in the meantime it is all bluster, he must be taking lessons from Iran (or the U.S. D party – same thing really).
Write this into the Google machine and look at the answers:
What was the average tariff that American imports into Canada paid before 2024?
You will get this answer:
Effective Rate: When calculating total collected duties divided by total import values, Canada’s overall effective tariff rate on total imports hovered around 1.1% in the decades leading up to 2024.
1.1%! That is what Canada charged American imports BEFORE this tariff nonsense.
We don’t need Canada?
Canada is our #2 trade partner just behind Mexico.
Will you tell all the American’s whose jobs depend on exporting stuff to Canada that we don’t need Canada?
For MOST states Canada is their #1 trade partner.
With this stupidity I fear that Trump just handed the Michigan senate seat to the DSA. Will you explain to the Michigan voters that will lose their jobs manufacturing stuff that should go to Canada that they should still vote for MAGA candidates?
Texas sends about $75 billion to Canada in exports every year. Will you tell Texans not to vote for Talarico?
In 2028 when we have a president Ossoff and Vice-president AOC you can thank tariffs and stupid wars.
Carney will not blink for 2 reasons:
1. 99% of Canadians are with him in this fight while less than 20% of Americans support paying a higher tax to import stuff.
You seem to forget that Canadians also have pride in their country. Trump has been insulting and threatening them for over a year. Canadians are now willing to endure a LOT not to give in to Trump.
2. If you give the bully your lunch money the bully doesn’t go away. He comes back and demands more. If you standup to the bully you may get your nose bloodied but now the bully knows he will not get your $.
Except China, Russia, India, Pakistan and Iran
Exactly what I was going to say.
He certainly won’t let Canadians determine Canada’s future.
Nailed it. I would’ve commented exactly the same, if you hadn’t already. Carney is an asshole. Or maybe I should say a corn hole.
Carney-val Barker.
Tariffs are a tax on the people.

The tariffs are now on a 3 day postponement while they work on a new agreement Trump says the Canadians have supposedly agreed to.
Is this the same agreement with Iran that Trump announce 37,589 times or is this a different agreement?
