FresnoFacts Posted February 2 Posted February 2 The CBC calls it a trade war. "President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada on Saturday by imposing a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all goods from this country — an unprecedented strike against a longstanding ally that has the potential to throw the economy into a tailspin." https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariffs-canada-february-1-1.7447829 According to the White House, the tariff order includes a retribution clause. If Canada, Mexico, or China retaliate then our tariffs ratchet up in response. Some will discover this will be more expensive than they thought. I don't see the other countries not responding. Quote
Akkula Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Canada, Mexico, and China should all get together and only put coutervailing tariffs on our oligarchs. They should do their best to ruin Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and the rest. No more batteries for Musk nor cheap goods for Amazon. Facebook can get the tiktok treatment in these countries. Any billionaire who attended Trumps inauguration should be have targeted sanctions. Their competitors, no sanctions. 2 1 Quote
FresnoFacts Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Both Canada and Mexico say they will respond with tariffs on the US. Details if they are targeted or across the board are not announced yet. Quote

We need to force Canada to quit letting those illegal Molsons over the border. Laughing at Canada’s response. They are going to force Red States to take the bulk of the pain. Guessing Potatoes and corn will be announced soon. 1 Quote

British Columbia's Premier announced he ordered BC Liquor Stores to “immediately stop buying American liquor from red states,” along with other moves. The Canadians are definitely going to target red states. Quote
Cowboy Up Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Just fucking great… was planning on possibly building a 45’x30’ shop this summer. I’m guessing lumber prices will be through the roof. Thanks a lot you fucking orange shitgibbon! 1 Quote

AztecAlien Posted February 2 Posted February 2 So Canada is only going to buy Whiskey from blue states? 1 Quote
Chile_Ute Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Bottom line, we will all be paying a lot more for any product. But economically as a country we will make them blink. Make no mistake, this move by Orange Jesus is a fucking horrible one. Quote

Republicans are in complete control of the federal government. If they want to exert pressure, it’s only logical to do it in a way that will affect GOP dominated areas. Quote
pomf Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Starting a trade war with our closest allies while further destroying America's ability to project soft power for literally no reason at all. Cool. 1 Quote

thelawlorfaithful Posted February 2 Posted February 2 This is comically stupid. Trump: We’re gonna throw a stick into the spokes of our economy South Park Canadian trash can guy: Buddy, you don’t a need to do that. Not only will it be bad for you, but it will completely kneecap our economy. We have always been friends and allies. Trump: I’m not your buddy, guy. Canada: We’re not your guy, pal. We’ll show you. If you knee cap our much smaller economy we’ll cut our own dick off by raising taxes on imports for our own people. 1 Quote

So, Canada will continue to purchase whiskey from the United States, which is subject to federal regulation and has the potential to donate a portion of its profits to red states? 🤔 Quote

But Canada is still going to be buying whiskey from the U.S. What I really hope that happens regarding whiskey with all this, is the price of whiskey on the secondary market comes down so I can buy my dad a decent bottle of bourbon. 1 1 Quote
