US will impose 35% tariffs on Canadian imports, Trump says in letter

You forgot about the export excise tax on potash and oil.
I bought a bunch of potash stocks at the start of the year and it’s up a lot
Was a good buy all thanks to Trump.

Sounds like the digital service tax needs to be back on, and doubled.

I’m trying to figure out Trump’s game here. We’ve been negotiating on trade and security and we backed off on the DST. What’s the benefit of Trump antagonizing us? Is he trying to push Carney to get him to lose his cool?
Carney’s response was predictable and measured. One gets the sense that that is what peeves Trump most of all. But Carney is wisely trying to buy Canada as much time as possible to get our shit together with national projects and new trade deals elsewhere.
In my heart, I hope all of this is in anticipation of a massive trade counteroffensive that includes the largest of fuck yous possible as we skid out of the driveway.

No Canadian politician is going to tell Trump to fuck off. That means we have to keep the boycott up. Shouldn’t be hard!
Wab is doing a good job at it.

US will impose 35% tax on American consumers buying Canadian products, Trump says in letter. Magazi bootlickers thank him and ask for more.
FTFY

This more than any other suggestion here. And as an Albertan if Morlaina Smith fucking complains, nationalize all of the O&G assets and kick out the companies. No more kick backs for her.

Negotiations behind the scenes are probably tough. Canada is not letting the US push them around.
So, Trump acts tough and applies pressure publicly.
1 - maybe it works and Canada caves
2 - if Canada does not cave, he can sign whatever and simply announce that it is the best deal ever (like he did with NAFTA / USMCA). He has already shown his supporters how hard he fought.
3 - if anybody makes a big deal that he got a bad deal, he can always break the agreement (like he did with USMCA)
