Canada hits US with tariffs mirroring trump's

What a stupid, stupid attitude! Continue shooting yourself in the foot, by all means.

The rest of the world is subsidizing the US economy to the tune of $8 trillion in American treasury bonds to shore up your endless deficit spending.

The same people Donald Trump, accuse of “screwing the USA over”, are, in fact, subsidizing your failure to live within your means. You wouldn’t have the most expensive military in the world if the rest of us weren’t buying your weapons and subsidizing your army.

Trump is lying to you about your so-called “victimization”. You are the richest nation in the world and yet somehow that’s not enough you need more. But only are billionaires are getting richer. The working class and middle class are shrinking and the poor are increasing.

You don’t need more. You need a better deal on your wages and a huge cut in military spending.

If all you need is a defensive force and you’re not going to have bases all over the world, you don’t need the world’s most expensive military at all. You need to cut your military expenditures back to 2% of GDP like the rest of the world.

It was a joke.

This would mean Canada is reducing its tariffs on the US.
Shit damn jubilee celebration time!

Canada doesn’t have tariffs on the USA. Trump lied to you. He lying to you about fentanyl being a problem too. More fentanyl I s smuggled into Canada from the USA, than the other way around.

This is because Trump made a bad deal for himself the last time he was in office and your trade deficit with Canada went up by seven times what it was when he took office. We’re being punished, because Trump made a bad deal and for no other reason.

Well, maybe because Trudeau relentlessly mocked Trump throughout his first presidency and neither Melania nor Ivanka couldn’t take their eyes off him.

He was probably more upset about the Ivanka than Melania. Trump doesn’t seem to have a problem with sharing Melania.

Aw gee, sorry we aren't providing ALL of your national defense. How rude of us.

How did your country get to be the richest country in the world if you've "been losing" this mythical trade war for 50 years? American corporations have made more money in the history of the nation in the past 50 years.

The USA has more billionaires and millionaires than any country on earth. How did that happen if you've been getting "screwed over" by your trading partners.

And still you continue to parrot Trump's lies and bullshit.

You rail at those same millionaires and billionaires about how they manufacture and assemble goods in other countries so they can sell them cheap to Americans.

 

[Unkotare]

If there is already a trade imbalance in Canada's favor, what the hell does it matter if they "impose" tariffs on us?

 

[Unkotare]

...

You don’t need more. You need a better deal on your wages and a huge cut in military spending.
...

Or, as an alternative, you could go fuck yourself and mind your own business before we leave you to your own devices with your frozen national ass hanging out for Russia to violate at will.

From Trump and the Republican Party’s point of view, it’s ALL about the billionaires. Trump didn’t do jack shit for the workers the first time he was in office. He didn’t have Americans union leaders sitting behind him in that church on inauguration day.

Off shoring continued unabated during his first term. The manufacturing sector lost 200,000 jobs in Trump’s last trade war, and was set back to 2009 in terms of overall production jobs.

Trump promised to wipe out the trade deficit but his first trade war actually increased the US trade deficit by 40% and that part of the economy has NOT recovered from Trump’s first economic collapse.

The US manufacturing sector was in a recession in late 2019, BEFORE the pandemic hit. The economic collapse that occurred during the pandemic gave cover to the disaster that was Trump’s first trade war.

This time, the effects are impossible to miss.

If that was true then President Trump would stay with the status quo of selling America out for corporate profit.

Sorry, but I don't give a single, solitary fuck about Canada.

 

[multivita-man]

Canada already has tons of tariffs on America.

Which the US agreed to -- twice. Including the guy starting the trade war.

You might care more than you realize. They're a major trading partner.

Not even one. There is not a thing that Canada produces that we can't make right here at home.

If they want to play hardball...let's play hardball and see who blinks...

...the $2 trillion dollar economy or the $30 trillion dollar economy.

Canada didn't pick this fight. The whole thing about sovereignty is that you defend it, even if you didn't start the fight.

There was a time when tariffs were quite normal, before the modern era of free trade. The USA survived in that world, and so did Canada.

Canada will likely suffer a recession because of this stupidity. They know that. They're going to hit America where it hurts, particularly states like yours, which voted for MAGA Man.

If there's one thing Canada knows about America, it's that America's good at starting fights, not so good at finishing them.

Do you believe tariffs protect Canada?

 

[multivita-man]

Do you believe tariffs protect Canada?

Some industries, sure.

You don't think the U.S. imposes tariffs already?

Do you know anything about our agriculture and energy subsidies?

Do whatcha gotta do. I'll be right over here, not noticing.
