not a happy people over the usury 25% tariff imposed on our beloved ally and neighbors to the north.
“But, before the home crowd heard its own anthem, they let out boos at the end of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

That might happen . . .
Except that all of these news stories are from within the past hour.
Just and FYI:
You used to have some credibility here,
but when you make up fraudulent stories out of your butt
you lose it quickly.

Tariffs are no different than any other tax.
and yes massive taxes are bad,
sudden taxes are not good etc…
Tariffs however are not categorically worse than any other kind of tax. all taxes distort. EX: A tax on US payrolls (FICA) is anti US payroll etc.

Wasn’t the Candian police arresting people waving the Candian flag a few years back? They probably don’t even like their own anthem, let alone ours.

Mostly not good for Canada. Their dollar is going to become worthless.

There is some truth to that:
1.7% vs 30%
—> US Exports to Canada: Approximately 1.5% to 1.7% of the US GDP is based on exports to Canada.
—> Canadian Exports to the US: About 21% to 30% of Canada’s GDP comes from exports to the United States.

1.1% vs 30%
US Exports to Mexico: Approximately 1% to 1.1% of the US GDP is based on exports to Mexico.
Mexican Exports to the US: Around 25% to 30% of Mexico’s GDP comes from exports to the United States.

Another statistic I’ve heard from multiple sources. 77% of Canada’s exports are to the US. 17% of ours goes to Canada.

Oops. Egg all over his face on that one.
He has a lot of nerve complaining that prices might go up a little with the tariffs after supporting the man who drove prices up more than anyone since Jimmy Carter for 4 years.

We used to throw trash like this thread in the Fever Dreams bin. Might be time to revive that tradition soon. The orange crack addicts are getting out of hand.
