    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.

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

        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.

              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.

                We do not pay the tariffs, the people buying stuff pay the tariffs.

                    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.

                            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?

                              Doug Ford had some big dick energy planning to run the commercials for months but that spineless oaf backed down at the first sign of resistance.

                                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

                                        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?

                                          So far this is just being an asshole. No date/specifics is just him yelling at the TV.
