*CANADA TO IMPOSE 25% TARIFFS AGAINST C$155B OF US GOODS

Comments

Glad that Trudeau is not rolling over ,plans a tariff counterstrike .This will hurt our people as much as tRump wants to hurt the people and economies ofCanada and Mexico. Mexico will follow suit in days bet me.
tRump wants to play tough guy and willing to throw citizens into the chipper for ego.

Waiting on Mexican response, but Canada looks to be targeting “beer, wine, bourbon, fruits, fruit juices, vegetables, clothes, perfume, household appliances, plastic, lumber, and more”, with lots of those goods being concentrated in Republican states

is it possible to target digital services? a lot of american datacenters are in red states

jortscity.bsky.social•29 days ago

Do you know if they have the ability to explicitly target individual states?

tjpetrusgaard.bsky.social•29 days ago

They can slap tariffs on goods known to be produced in specific states.

jortscity.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you Toni. I picked up on that from Joey's post where he already said that exact thing.

Nobody's drinking that red state wine

Hey they voted for it.

I'm glad they're doing it in defiance of Trump's threat to increase tariffs on them. I am hoping that this is just Trump being a bully and seeing who will fold, and backing down when people won't. But I think it's foolish to ever predict with certainty what he will do.

Trudeau also specifically called out Kentucky and Florida in his speech

What are we doing here ?! 🤦‍♂️

And not just tariffs, premiers are ceasing US alcohol sales in the provs that have public liquor stores/monopolies

nedhawkes.bsky.social•29 days ago

Lumber will really hurt us. The cost of housing is already highly inflated. This will kill the market.

hardwarelust.bsky.social•29 days ago

Two things missing off that list are petroleum and electricity.

Looks like we'll get specifics soon

I hope people are intelligent enough to put the blame completely on tRump. He wants to play tough guy and have our friendly nations kowtow tremble in fear and kiss his orange ass. Not happening.Americans who will get squeezed more better call and complain to Dear Leader .Dems better seize the day

Some will wake up and smell the roses, but some are loyalists until they die.

zenvibes.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good, they need to suffer from this. If we’re lucky some of them might actually learn that tariffs are bad.

Wait until you find out what he thinks about Nuclear Wars
