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

    I think they also tariff Mexican goods, so Mexico redirects their exports here. So we get Mexican goods at lower prices. Due to the higher supply, lower demand.

      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?

        Fair point, when the weekend stories came in I thought about changing my remark.

            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.

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

                True! The more accurate way of putting it would be “our clients have to pay”.

                  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

                  You expect an old white guy to be able to do basic math in his head? Lmao

                    Of course, it does make Ford look really weak saying he was pulling the ad.

                        Have yet to see Carney grow that spine. Maybe one day he’ll call on all U.S debts to be repaid to Canada, until that day elbows are at the lowest they’ve ever been.
