Canadians still don't pay the tarrifs.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Shocked Pikachu! I hope the people of the US realize that sooner or later.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 2 months ago

The people of America are collectively fucking stupid

And the people who don't bother voting at all are every bit as culpable for this shit

Probably some time after the people currently absorbing the cost run out and their economy implodes.

I admit, even with the scary global crisis potential, it's going to be kind of satisfying.

Glad they pulled those Reagan tariff commercials to appease him. Yet again they fall for his whining bitch-fest and give him what he wants and he does whatever he wants anyway. Stop enabling him.

Bring back the commercials. Bring back the digital services tax.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

Yes bring back the dst more people will find Canadian alternatives

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Doug Ford had some big dick energy planning to run the commercials for months but that spineless oaf backed down at the first sign of resistance.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 43 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He’s going to punish us either way, so play the ad all day long.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 months ago

And bring back the big tech tax.

Strange, I don't seem to be paying anything at the moment. I wonder who's really paying the bill? The American public you say?

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Nobody drinks orange juice or American liquor here anymore. Not a big deal. His Ball room looks like shit

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Canadian made goods are sent to the US under cusma anyways, so they're duty free. This mostly hurts vendors that buy from China and just reship without doing much.

The bigger impact was from them getting rid of their $800 exemption, since now every package gets hit by customs & handling fees.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Not all trade is done under CUSMA

Gotta fund the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom in some way during the shutdown.

He can't be dead soon enough. Dofo, play that add again

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do not see him being around in 3 years and 3 months but he cannot kick it soon enough.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Dumb fucker can't even do that right.

Well obviously he is a rino and an undercover antifa agent. Everyone knows that Ronald Reagan was woke.

/s

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 22 points 2 months ago

Except that Canada ain't paying for it...

He's a fucking moron and his supporters are filth

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Our grocery store used to sell avocados from the US and they were $4 each. Today I bought a bag of 5 from Mexico and the bag was only $3.99.

Keep going Trump. I like these cheap Mexican avocados. Without your shenanigans, we'd probably still be stuck with American produce.

[–] golden_calf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Really? In America we buy Mexican avocados. I didn't even know there were American avocados.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

They grow a bunch in Florida and California.

They were never serious about trade talks. It's all a childish game. Let's end trade with them completely.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

We the people can try our best.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

So, I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but...

They jailed a guy on terrorism charges for posting a ~~Charlie Kirk~~ Trump quote.

Does the Ontario government now get charged with terrorism for quoting Reagan?

That's how things work now right?

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago

US businesses impacted negatively by this will blame Canada, because their God Trump tells them so.

US is said and done, most people here just don't see it yet or aren't willing to accept it.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Funny, I don't recall paying a tariff? Did any of you? Those Americans certainly seem to be paying a lot in tariffs though.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

Correction : He is raising the tariffs on Americans buying Canadian goods.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Another day, another provocation. This is what he lives for.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Canada has higher tariffs then Russia at this point, right?

[–] SomethingWentWrong@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

BC Premier David Eby is preparing a digital ad campaign stating exactly that. Canadian lumber has higher tarrifs than Russian lumber imported into the USA:

And I hope he doesn’t fold like Ford.

Something something-

ELBOWS UP!

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Calm the fuck down.

This only effects Canadian products being sold to the U.S.. Companies will raise the price of products, costing not us, but U.S. Americans. Their food banks are already running out in the mornings, he is litterly starving his country. While funneling money towards Argentina, and hurting his own American Farmers.

They already have protests for "No Kings", at this rate their will be a collapse of the country, or a coup.

Until the headline reads trump eats a bullet. He can eat a dick.

[–] yannic@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I'm not sure what the tarrifs currently are, but I'm not sure this is as dramatic as it sounds.

As an example, if the tarrifs are currently 30%, raising them 10% over and above what they currently are would make them 33%, right? ....right?

Then again, he's already proven that he can't do maths

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

Yeah no he means that if they’re 30% he’s making them 40%.

Again, unilaterally and without the vote of Congress, which hems supposed to need.

Can someone please remove him? What the fuck are we even doing here?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Baffle them with bullshit. Make so many changes nobody knows what’s happening.
