Hope trump says 100% until we have an election

A tariff is a duty.. who pays the duty.. not Canadians. (well now we do because of Trudeau)

The 25% tariff that Trump imposed on Canada is a consumption tax for US Citizens.

We sell lumber to a wholesaler in Washington state, they pay the shipping, duties (tariffs) and they raise their price to make a profit.

The developer in say Seattle comes in and buys that wood, the tariff is already prices in at this point.

The developer builds a house in Seattle, the US Citizen home buyer buys the house.. the home buyer (US Citizen) ultimately pays the tariff.

Canada already has a 35% advanage with the Canadian dollar being so low, it would not have hurt us to wait, rather than Trudeau with his hatred for Trump go all Rambo with retaliatory Tariffs and playing this up like a Liberal win. It's not.

The Tax and Spend Liberals adding their tariff is laughing at Canadians with another tax, and they make off like bandits.
I have no love for the Liberal Government of Canada, nor do I defend their ineptitude, but I would never take joy in Canada being fucked over. Boomer, you may already know this, but you're the fucking joke.
Ask around, everyone here pretty much considers you poser.

I have always said Canada has a 3rd world infrastructure.

Dwight D. Eisenhower understood the importance of connecting the USA by Interstate, rail and ports..

Canada needs a Dwight D. Eisenhower leader right now..

Build the Energy East pipeline, create three 4 lane interprovincial highways from Eastern to Western Canada, LNG plants, ports, refineries and remove trade barriers between provinces.

I have said this 1000 times and every time I was ridiculed for it.. now it's every Canadian politicians punchline.




Won't don't you run for office? Maybe you can join the Peoples Party of Canada and get your cherry popped by that Frenchman.

Trudeau;

"I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.

In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.

Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together."

What I'm I posing as??

How may I ask did the 25% Tariff fuck over Canadians??

We already have a 40% advantage for our products because of our dollar.

Canadians are not paying the 25%

A Vancouver, BC company sells lumber to a Seattle warehouse, that warehouse pays the shipping and duties (tariffs)

A developer buys the wood and builds a house in Seattle

When the buyer of the house purchases the house the tarrifs are included in the price for the Canadian content of the house.

The US citizen consumer pays the tarrifs

Same with our oil and gas..

60% of Canada's oil and gas keeps the US going..

The US consumer would eat that 10% Tariff at the pump.

It's a consumption tax, like the GST but on US citizens.

Trump brags in 1918 they had no income tax, well no, they had a consumption tax.

Ummmm.... No! How can you be so far from reality?

When was our border militarized?

Youre not going to like the round up. Not one bit.
20 million in this rideo. Dont worry, those who are established and contributing (except income tax) will get to stay.

Canada has to do the same. The huggy lovey Liberals are kicking 5 million out this year. 1 in 10 will go voluntarily. The rest will hide or try to run to the US.

Highway 11 in Ontario to make it a 4 lane highway. Right next to Energy East pipeline.

Quebec isn't #TeamCanada we need to build a refinery and port to ship Energy East oil to tidewater up the Saint Lawrence River.
Cornwall, Ontario has a lot of industrial vacant land available, and has direct access to the Saint Lawrence.


So did you learn anything from the US Tariffs?? We don't have any other market we can reach without the USA. Canada is a resource based country, if we can't get those resources to market, we are a 3rd world without the US marketplace.

Yes we need to spend the eye-watering cost to make Canada self sufficient. Or we can stay just riding the coattails of the Uncle Sam or maybe become the 51st State.

If Canada want to get our products to market we are going to have to build massive infrastructure in Canada.

YES!! But they have to bring Parliament back in to approve the funds.. there's a catch to it.. he doesn't have the 1.3 billion to spend.

He put it in the budget, but didn't fund it. :ROFLMAO:
It went through Dec 17. A few days after Joly and Le Blanc went to Mar-a-Lago
