    Canada and Mexico: Trump's 25% across-the-board tariffs on its US neighbors went into effect on Tuesday, March 4. Just two days later, Trump confirmed the US would pause tariffs on goods and services compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) until April 2. For its part...

    One will break it, & the other will break it reciprocally, & the other will break it reciprocally reciprocally, etc…or not, & nobody knows for sure, or not. That’s the issue. The American tariffs (in the microcosm of what we do) don’t hurt us at least not immediately, but the reaction to them...

    Sorry, to the above, if the tariffs and reciprocal counter tariffs come in on let’s say April 2nd, & a load is “in transit” (so picked up and moving towards the border) on or before the 2nd, then those goods will be exempt. This is going to be watched like you wouldn’t believe from the sounds of...

    Today? No, not today. Tomorrow? I’ll let you know tomorrow. We just haul them, but the Dealerships we haul them to from the manufacturers aren’t as cavalier and confident as you are, & the Canadian customs brokers don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow either. They’ll get 24hrs notice and be...

    Are the chimps aware it’s both the best (and worst) trade deal ever signed, depending on the narrative, by one of the guys that signed it? Anyway, USMCA/CUMSHOTMA/NAFTA etc…things might be tariffed starting April 2nd, or not…depends which way the wind is blowing…& the size of Trumps midnight...

    I’ll wait and see what happens tomorrow. I’m so freaking burnt out at this point, It’s not even funny. I’ve been holding hands and patting backs to panicked dealers all day long and I’ve just had enough of that for one day. It’s April Fools’ Day and the day before this shit supposed to hit the...

    Are you sure about that one or is that one from 90 minutes ago? Was that only during the stretch between February 4, and whenever Trump decided it wasn’t applicable anymore…assumably tomorrow?

    (YouTube & LILLEY UNLEASHED: Mark Carney is defending the indefensible) It took four days for Chiang to be removed as the Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville and it came after Carney had spent all morning defending him. It shouldn’t be hard to distance yourself from someone who advocates...

    Trump 2.0

    Well, Idaho DOES border Canada (the hotbed of illegal immigration of Mexican farm labourers) so will this get spun as Canada’s fault due to proximity? Better increase the tariffs on PEI Spuds to further protect the northern Idaho border.

    April Election 2025

    In January, Paul Chiang, the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville in the Greater Toronto Area, told a Chinese language media conference that the Conservative candidate for Don Valley North, Joe Tay, had a $184,000 bounty on his head for his advocacy of democracy in Hong Kong, and that anyone...

    Usually, it’s a did or didn’t thing, not an on & off thing, right? Anyway… It’s still unclear how Canada May be affected by the reciprocal tariffs, but the Trump administration has aired various grievances that may show up in additional levies on Wednesday. U.S. tariffs will be implemented...

    Dude was doing well until about minute six in this video. If Canada has 1/8th the population, and a bigger land mass with more resources, of course they are going to export more than they import. They have a much smaller population buying products. If anything, the US trade defecit should be...

    Trump 2.0

    Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly in a telephone interview with NBC News. "No, I'm not joking. I’m not joking," Trump said, but "it is far too early to think about it."...
