The tariffs are here to stay, you’ve nailed it. It’s how Trump operates.

No it's not...

Doc, you have shown clearly to be an enemy and a traitor to your own country. We should deport you to America where you belong.

You're not funny anymore Dude.

What are you even doing, you've lost the plot...

Chef - have you been checked out for dementia? Your posts seem to indicate a pattern of repeating themselves - much like a dementia patient repeating the same thing over and over again as if it was something new. Check yourself in buddy

[Per]

I keep hearing that Trump wants to create fortress America and tariff the hell out of everything, eventually replacing income tax with tariff revenue and recreating the industrial engine that first emerged in the post civil war period. Apparently he's looking to return to what he considers to be a golden age for America; the period between the civil war and WW1 when there was no income tax and tarriffs paid for the government expenses. If this is true, these tariffs may be permanent.

As far as migrants and fentanyl go, that appears to bullshit. Just an excuse. More than 99 percent of the traffic comes from the southern border. Trump's extreme loathing of Trudeau probably doesn't help.

If he is moving to a system with no taxes and funding the government through tariffs, the USA and most likely the world will go into a major recession.
Prices will go up which leads to less trade, which leads to fewer jobs and lower salaries.

25% tariffs across the board will mean sky rocketing inflation, and the poor will become destitute.
Meanwhile the billionaire class will become even richer, as their already low taxes are completely eliminated.

It is not just the price of imports that go up, Often domestic products are dependent on imported parts. A farmer may be using pesticides or fertilizer that is manufactured abroad and use imported diesel for his harvester. Cars are notorius for having parts cross borders multiple times before being installed in the final product. And if both steel and aluminum is hit with import tariffs that price of the car may get significantly higher, even if it is assembled and sold domestically.

Free trade improves the lot for everyone. Tariffs destroy jobs and make everyone poorer.
This was proven in the 18th century already and still holds true today.

Per, this is what happens when a lunatic is elected to run your the USA.

As Johan Norberg posted this morning

Trade wars are a form of warfare where the combatants stand in a circle and take turns punching themselves in the face as hard as they can. The only way to win is to be a conscientious objector.

Alright, alright…Chef is very protective of his Canada, I’m a patriot. When evil doers like madman dictator Trump and his oligarchs wage economic warfare on my country, I go in defensive mode. I’m sure Doc is pissed he can no longer buy Kentucky Bourbon. Canadian Club it is I suppose?

Apparently the tariffs against Mexico have been put on hold for a month and Trump will be speaking to Treudeau today.

Shock! What a fucking shit show, I'm glad I'm not dealing with imports and exports.

I can't wait to see what concessions Trudeau agrees to

He should call Trump's bluff. Tell him we'll get more cosy with China if this is the way he behaves.

Well, since it’s China where Fentanyl products come from, I’m assuming they’d love to do business direct with Canada.

I do agree with Trump in that Fentanyl in this country is out of control. The products used to get sent direct from China to Mexico for fabricating, but apparently now Canada is a top producer of Fentanyl. Hopefully this sets forward wiping the image that Canada is soft on crime and gangsters are welcomed. It’s time to lay the hammer down.

Well they have to flip it back at the US. Tighten border security. Treat the average US citizen like they're a member of Al Quaida. Dismantle every vehicle heading north and let them reassemble it. Sell our reources a bit cheaper,,lumber, hydro, natural gas, minerals, oil etc. to enemies of the US. Dont let them fish in our waters. Shoot anyone illegally crossing the border. Rip up any applications from Americans who want to live here. Let the Pig in a Wig explain it to the inbreds that voted for him.

Canada doesn't need the US at all. Fucking seal the border for all I care

This sounds promising.

Hopefully it brings in some good decisions.

Well, I won't miss American Liquor - about the only time I drink, is when we go out for dinner, I might have a beer (Canadian Beer).

[Blob Mckenzie]

Its all posturing probably but he took a shit on an entire country and his party is a bit reckless right now. Its one thing to insult Rosie but he is offside. And Im a right wing leaning person who wants Republican rule as they spin the economy. It does baffle me that so called red blooded Canadians think this is A-ok.

Am I a total idiot?? Could this country not sustain itself if we built a wall??

[Topper]

10,000 Mexican troops to the border buys 30 days. I wonder if they will be armed by Project Gunrunner?

A big issue isn't loose control on the land border or the numbers crossing, it is who is crossing, It is who Canada lets in through the airports on student, temporary work and refugee claims that later cross into the US.
