raise the price of candian oil
separatists should stop sucking up to the us
What an annoying bitch.
So if they’re just openly breaking the agreement, does any legal process automatically happen/become possible on our side, or is it a judgement call from the PMs office again?
TACO
What? You wanna TACO bout it?
Its a bargaining chip.
Meh.
department of trade war hits again
Person who doesn’t know how tariffs work blindly threatens tariffs again.
Good. Double it. Triple it. Cut off all trade.
DO IT
The boycotting will continue until … I dunno anymore, maybe it’ll never really stop.
Keep going guy. We could use the reminder. Moving trade away from the US needs a lot of pressure to happen to any significant degree.
Move where? They are the biggest economy in the world. Only reason everyone is bending the knee, they don’t want to loose access to the sweet sweet American consumer.
Trump to hit
CanadaAmericans with new 50% tarrif on Canadian goods.FTFY. Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Americans did. Canada doesn’t pay the tarrifs, Americans do.
There’s no wall
Your statement is contrary to factual reality which can be physically verified. Trump built 705 km of new primary barrier in his first term. Biden actually ended up adding to the wall after initially stopping construction. Since Trump’s second term, wall construction has restarted with plans to complete the wall before the end of his term. None of this construction has been financed by Mexico.
Sure but as prices increase people purchase less Canadian goods, so still hurts us.
Maybe there will be fewer purchases. But only if a few conditions have been met:
- there is an alternative product; and
- buyers can switch to the alternative product; and
- the alternative has characteristics that make it more desirable than the Canadian product once prices rise from tarrifs;
Or
- people can choose to not buy a product at all.
If the Canadian products are still the cheapest (or cheap enough), better enough in some other quality (e.g. not diarrhea inducing?), if buyers are locked into long-term supply agreements, or if people just need the product because there are no alternatives and not buying isn’t an option, then tariffs don’t impact total sales for those products directly.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the tarrifed goods against how elastic the demand for them is.
The news media has been failing the American public for a long time now.
along with the education system, the healthcare system, political representation, and the military-industrial complex. It’s like all of those things have been turned against the citizens of the United States.
Trump. Rapes. Children.
Smoke and mirrors. Don’t look up.
