I would like to thank donnie for uniting Canada. For years, we have tried to get $$$ for stricter boarder enforcement to keep American guns off our streets.
25% for Canada and Mexico and 10% for China? Make that make sense. 🤦♀️ Also, welcome to higher prices, Americans. You're paying for this, not these countries.
Just wait till there is another major fire. Those amazing super tanker planes and firefighters that have historically showed up to help us from Canada and Mexico will no longer be available. Let that sink in.
Also, I could have saved a bit more $$ if I bought the frozen, boneless breasts. I admit, I was a tad lazy and in a hurry. I didn't want to wait for them to thaw before I could cook them.
So the US distributor pays the tariff and passes on the cost to the consumer. The consumer pays the higher price as well as more sales tax on the higher price.
MAGA voted to screw themselves.
Why do you assume everyone has the means, ability, entitlement, and time you do? In a perfect world, I'm sure all would love whole, organic, homemade everything. That's not possible everywhere for everyone.
I'm not even all that jazzed about "organic." Organic just means that instead of ingesting chemicals, I'm ingesting insects and worms and/or the feces thereof.
You had me a 'feces'. I get it, whole foods are better for folks. But they're just not available or realistic for some. Not everyone can cook logistically or financially. For example, a box of generic Mac & cheese costs less and is faster than from scratch and kids will eat it up.
There has been an uptick in trolls and bots on BlueSky, and they have successfully whatabouted these comments. NPR is in the Orange one’s crosshairs so of course they’re here. Consider not feeding the trolls.
Isn't that special? Then T wonders why countries consider BRICS, NATO,... when it is being shown we can't play well with others. No telling what our neighbors to the south might organize.
And then after a few days of people freaking out, he’ll say the countries have promised to stop drug trafficking, declare victory, and end the tariffs. Nothing will have changed, but the media will publish his lies.
What a profoundly disruptive and insane policy to satisfy Orangeman. I’m sorry that American and Canadian friends will be at each others throats for the year to come.
So much for American first. MEXICO and Canada 25% yet CHINA his so call number one enemy 🤭 10% he had them at his inaguración. Clorox Donald more like China puppet with this one
I’m a Canadian…an hour from the Buffalo border. My wife and I love once a month crossing over..having a nice lunch…shopping and interacting with really nice Americans.
Sure am going to miss doing those trips. Good luck.
Mexico & Canada can't do anything; they lack power & financial resources. Americans are perceived as mentally unstable. Veggies/fruits will rot; Mexico & Canada will capitulate. Americans are already servient. Putin-Trump dominate the world. That simple. We all rely on China for cheap goods/labor.
And guess who pays the tariffs? ME. On goods I bring in to manufacture our finished electronics. Trump expects ME to create a USA company that makes small electronic parts? I pay OUR government before I make anything?
I have to compete against rest of world, and now I'm 25% more expensive. GFYT.
Because he's trying to destabilize the whole North American economy. Why would he do that I wonder??

Get ready to see the price of tomatoes, avocados, organic bananas, citrus, paper products like toilet paper and paper towels, lumber, and fuel go up in price.

I am sorry about the guns, though. There are 27 words in the 2nd amendment, but most people only know 4 of them. If they read the whole thing and translated it into 18th-century English and applied historical context, it meant something different when it was written.
All the more reason for us to keep working on localizing our food supplies and consume more of what is fresh and in season. We've become too dependent on imported foods that are out of season and are designed with long journeys in mind more than nutrition and flavor.
"The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank, estimated Trump’s tariffs announced Saturday would result in what amounts to an average tax increase of $830 per household in the U.S" The Hill.
With many American families already struggling, this will no doubt add significantly to their struggles!
Mainstream media never hammered away at the impact all this spending will have. Should Trump achieve his objective of getting the debt ceiling eliminated, look at how he runs his businesses to see the outcome: leveraged to the point of breaking!
Trump said I'll see your price of eggs and raise your tequila, cheap labor, maple syrup, lumber, and literally everything fuck thing in America. Fucking moron and mega morons who voted for him.
The Conservative Party was certain to win in the next election here. Now, The Liberal Party is climbing in the polls. If he wanted Canada to be like Belarus, he has already failed.
Maybe he's still made that both his wife and eldest daughter have crushes on our outgoing PM? Or maybe that Canada has a ton of sanctions on Russia? Or maybe because the leaders of our country make him look as weak as he is? There are a lot of potential reasons.
The silver lining?

trump's tariffs will raise our prices. A president who does not care about the people of the country and who does a poor job at being a diplomat is unfit.
Funny how the country Trump has all his shitty merch made in has a much lower tariff applied to it than the two countries he signed a treaty with that was supposed to serve as an agreement to lower and eventually do away with tariffs between them. 🙄
I can't understand the end game.We all know that Trump is going to tank our economy.We all know that folks are going to be uninsured, and not going to be able to afford anything, and generally speaking, Americans' quality of life is going to decrease. The rich can't get richer without prosperity.🤔🤯✌️
They don’t give a fuck if people die from overdoses. Just another national tragedy to exploit for extreme wealth, extreme power, and extreme ideologies.
If anything, this proves it. There is no major issue of drugs on the northern border. This is just Trump acting like a mob boss violating his own deal, just to look tough, while losing us a friend in the process and damaging people's lives.
Also starting Tuesday, Cdn's reciprocal 25% tariffs kick in on goods produced/exported from Republican states. They've already pulled US wines, beers & spirits from store shelves & encouraged citizens to buy strictly Cdn vs US goods for now as too vacation in their own country rather than the US.
As if Donald Trumps negligence to fix high costs day 1 wasn’t enough, now he starts a trade war with three countries to further make things even more expensive for us.
Lmao He and his Cronies are the ones who negotiated the -beep-in
Deal ! 😂 How many times has this brilliant businessman claimed Bankruptcy for his Businesses ? Blind Man leading the Blind 🙄
“It’s Canadas fault I’m stupid !”
I feel like we are being backed into a corner. It’s like trump is doing everything he can to trigger protests so he can invoke the insurrection act and declare martial law.
Our corner "bodega" (did I use the correct word?) manager gleefully showed me the shelves of classic Canadian Old Dutch Potato Chips and Hawkins Cheezies that are replacing the US made snacks in her store. We're good.
Hi America, Britain here. Just to let you know we recently were convinced to vote for something that worsened trade with our biggest & nearby trading partners. We’ve been trying it for five years so far. Turns out it was a sh*t idea, peddled by charlatans. But hey, feel free to learn yourselves.
Trump signed new tariffs 2-1-25
To take effect 2-4-25
Against Canada, Mexico, China...
Talk about toilet paper being in short supply?
Most wood products come from Canada.
Trump now says it wouldn't be a failure if he fails to deliver on his campaign promise to bring prices down... "I'd like to bring them down, but it's hard to bring things down once they're up."
Trump waivers and rescinds tariffs after Mexico waits until today to share undisclosed "actions" they'll take in response. Wow. Mexico cowed the dictator.
Well as a Canadian I started to buy only Canadian grocery and other products today. I will go without and not give in to trump, feel like Canada is in a war with the USA. So f’d up!

There, fixed it for you
Tariffs are inherently inflationary, as Senator Rand Paul explains.
Moreover, the tariff power belongs to Congress (Article I, Section 8). Time to take it back.

~9% inflation is nothing to what's coming!
Canadian lumber, Mexican corn,
Tariffs put in place with scorn.
Trump thinks they pay the fee.
Checkout line says, “Nope, that’s me.”
We are not America's Shadow.

The Trump Tax
This man knows no bounds!
At this point of takeover and control, even the pretexts for things to make sense is no longer required.

Time to protest yet or we still going to save out outrage for our thumbs?
He was going back and forth on that one, and frankly I don’t feel like doing the research 😏.
I’m hoping someone else knows and can share it 💙
Dumbo Donald !
