4UNLV Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Are we sure the tariffs are not all just a distraction? Say, like while Doge is raiding the treasury? Or while trump is trying to fulfill his dictator fantasy? Or something like that, lol. 3 Quote

They’re just doing what every country would do in this situation. Which if there were any strategy to this you could argue he’s cracking the whip on the opposition party to become more in line with American interests as the liberals under Trudeau fall ingloriously out of favor. But I don’t think it’s that deep. There’s not enough maple leaf flags to tolerate the reduced standard of living the average Canadian would have to endure. Trudeau led them off a cliff already. Trump thinks he’s New York businessman from the 1890’s. 1 Quote

The more interesting thing to me is what our own appetite for a trade war is once the economic pain comes. If you have a losing hand don’t make it worse for yourself. Quote

You’ll see that 25% increase in fertilizer input cost passed down through your grocery and restaurant bill. Also, this will put another strain on domestic farmers who are already operating on significant cost pressures. 1 Quote

They have their uses politically. But it just makes everyone more poor. I’ve been saying it for a decade and the only thing that changes is whether the person likes the person talking about them be that Trump, Bernie or whoever. Quote

So you have hated tariffs for a long time and when the biggest slate of tariffs in recent history are actually issued (rather than talked about during a campaign) you decided to come argue with people that are…. AGAINST these tariffs because, in your opinion, they are only opposing the tariffs because Trump is issuing them? Quote

Some seem to be rooting for Canada because they hate Trump but I write that off as them being quisling losers all along but who cares. None of it is about the merits and drawbacks of tariffs. Quote
The Barber Posted February 2 Posted February 2 This is some interesting chess - hopefully resolved over the next 30-60 days. Who blinks first? Not sure why would don't have ZERO tariffs between the US and Canada - that never made sense. US - Mexico some tariffs make sense (e.g., Chinese making auto factories in Mexico to take advantage of free trade and dump products) 1 Quote

Canadians were left with a Sophie’s choice. Can’t blame them for reacting either way. But that’s not what I care about. I’m more interested in the price we’re going to pay. It’s going be a wild ride.

It seems like these tariffs are the end, not the means. Quote
