Canadian tariffs announced

[Hoid]

JUst watching the Minister speaking from Hamilton and she announced $16.6 billion in tariffs on American goods.They are on two lists - one at 25% and one at 10%

these counter measures are necessitated by an illegal American tariff - which was raised to combat the national security threat that Canada poses to America.

So all that's left is to see how long they remain in place.

But pretty much everything just got a lot more expensive.

Will post a list here of the goods if i see one online - she's talking

It's a scatteshot approach, aimed at trying to influence swing states in the American election. A futile prospect by a PM without any imagination, vision, foresight or sense of national identity.

The world is moving away from Global Free Markets. That is certain. They have failed. Rather than trying to rig the American electoral opinion, which is bound to backfire big time, we should be developing a long term economic plan of promoting a national, integrated, sovereign, industrial and agricultural economy in areas where we have strong natural resources or vital domestic markets. That requires permanent planned tariffs, renationalization of the currency, and targeted investment and credit.

It's all beyond Justin. His mind is with the stoners, homosexuals, feminists. It's all that really matters to this effeminate little twit, creating his Global Woodstock.

almost about the elections??

lets have the approach that you would have taken.

certainly anyone who commits so many words day after day complaining about how things are must have a clear idea of how they should be.

and since Trudeau is taking the same approach as every other nation on Earth your suggestions could go global.

Whenever I read coldstream, I imagine a concert pianist's manager mixing up his gigs and having him perform in a whorehouse.

That might be true if only Canada was doing it, but the same technique is being used by the EU, China, and every other nation Trump has raised tariffs on.

........so What would YOUR plan be , to deal with the situation and that would meet the criteria you mention.??

 

[Curious Cdn]

Our "scatterhot" approach is part of a larger campaign with many other entities doing their own "scattershots". The ultimate effect will be trashed economies all over and maybe a planetary recession when trade drops off all over. It's all a pointless "art of the deal" boondoggle.

 

[Danbones]

It's called being to freakin' stupid to negotiate like adults...

It's a trumphating communistnaziglobalist shortcoming

These idiot retarded dum ass3s are here to stay by their own decree apparently.

senate votes 88-11 against Trump using national defense as a reason for the Canadian tariffs.

apparently the constitution says that the president must gets congressional approval to invoke national defense tariff.

oh well. When has the constitution ever mattered to Trump? (except the 2nd amendment of course)

 

[Twin_Moose]

If that is the case why are the tariffs still on?

 

[Hoid]

What do you mean if?

 

[Twin_Moose]

You say they have the power so if they do why are there still tariffs?

 

[Hoid]

What power did I say they had?

What power did I say they had?

apparently the constitution says that the president must gets congressional approval to invoke national defense tariff.

If that is the case the tariffs should already be off

 

[Hoid]

Wouldn't this just be the first step in a longer process that either upholds or invalidates the tariff?
