@imvii Perhaps since little donny says he does not need anything from Canada we should shut off his electric and oil now. That would be before he could effectively replace it.
It will be a shit show until Canada and the rest of the western world work out agreements independent of the US.
When you have a 25% tariff, additional tariffs really don't matter.
I can barely afford to live here now asshole
Never could have
The real problem is that Trump's supporters don't understand tariffs, and wouldn't believe the explanation anyway because to them it just sounds like Orange Man Bad.
When the US imposes a tariff on Canada, importers of Canadian goods pay the tariff to the US government. To recover that cost they raise the prices they charge American customers. So Americans end up paying the tariff. The only damage it does to Canada is that the tariff could discourage US importers from buying certain goods from Canada if they can get them somewhere else without paying a tariff. That happens in some cases, but in others Canada is already the cheapest (or only) source of a high-demand item, so Americans will just pay the higher prices - the way they're still paying jacked-up COVID prices for so many things, for example.
Millions of Americans, being too dumb or unwilling to grasp this, think these tariffs are Trump heroically saving them from the evils of foreigners who want to destroy their Freedom.

Reports from people who know him, Trump is one of these people. He clearly doesn't understand the process.
“I’ve been in the room when it’s been explained to him, and he doesn’t understand it, but he likes tariffs,” Bolton said.
not to mention any potential compound tariffs on complex goods likes automobiles for example.
Prices skyrocket immensely.
The housing market is only going to get more expensive, etc.
By compound tariffs, do you mean extra tariff fees due to repeated trips across the border in the manufacturing process?
Trump doesn't understand he's a bitch no matter what he does.
100%....hmmm. Yeah 200%!
Later today, Lutnik (Trump aid), said that "we will meet Canada/Mexico half way on tariffs.", with announcement tomorrow. So, maybe other direction.
