My skills are not that great. I clicked on the video but it doesn't work. I see a short burst then nothing.

what a dope

This is probably already posted, but this flew under my radar at the time. We have an AG participating openly in insider trading. Not sure you have a better example of this administration and the reason that dear leader is imposing tariffs and then retracting them.

Rather interesting....Trump's aggressive tariffs have resulted in Canada being clear that the old relationship with the US is over. Canada has accelerated it's expansion into new markets and agreements - Indoneasia for example, and with an emphasis on expansion into the Indo-Pacific market. Tariffs on Canadian steel have sent steel costs in the US spiralling. While the US is now unpredictable, Canada has been selling itself as predictable and is reaping the rewards. Canada has now signed a $200 billion agreement with Asia and Latin America. Canada is increasingly turning away from the USA and integrating further into global markets, expanding into Asian and Europe.

Companies like Volkswagen, Stellantis, Amazon, Microsoft, and Burger King are redirecting investments north across the border into Canada, triggering what some analysts describe as a slow-motion industrial exodus. The signal - Canada is stable. The USA is not. This isn’t just about one factory or one tech campus — it’s a full-scale cross-border trade shift. The result? A visible acceleration of American decline in both manufacturing and innovation. Interesting snippet also on data laws and networks, meaning Canadian companies will no longer be storing data in the USA.

Canadians are saying enough is enough.....

And repositioning and strategically realigning.....44

Canada has signed a $200 billion agreement with Indoneasia, 90% of tariffs eliminated, Indoneasia calls Canada a "trusted partner"

Ottawa signs treaties and trade agreements while the White House churns out threats....Mark Carney is showing his experience and ability.

'Tiny' but 'at least relations may not worsen': The market reactions to latest US-China framework

The US and China ended two days of talks in London with the announcement of a new effort to try and move past recent flareups and get back to negotiations that had been planned after a gathering last month in Geneva.

Yeah. In the article, Trump says they discussed complex stuff, like rare earth. Sure, Donald, I can imagine you discussing something like tariffs for over an hour. It must have been exhausting for China to listen to a one-way conversation.

I wonder if that call asked China not to sign any rare earth agreement with Ukraine?

Whatever happened to all of the trade deals that Trump said he’d make with “200 countries” in two weeks??

Now Trump says there will be no deals — he’s going to unilaterally set tariffs himself. In two weeks. Everything with Trump is in “two weeks”.

President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he would send letters to trading partners in the next week or two setting unilateral tariff rates.

“At a certain point, we’re just going to send letters out. And I think you understand that, saying this is the deal, you can take it or leave it,” the president said at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

MAGA sheep actually admire that goober.

A brief history on why tariffs suck and trump's are even more dumb than we first thought.

Maybe in “two weeks”?

Trump's Tariffs Have Yet To Force Down Any Major Trade Barriers

"We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers and ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers," Trump said in an April 2 speech that unveiled double-digit "reciprocal" tariffs on multiple U.S. trading partners.

As of Friday, though—more than four months into the trade war—the U.S. had signed a preliminary trade agreement with only one country: Great Britain. The U.K. deal's details were still being hammered out by negotiators, and promised some increased market access for American companies.

And a deal announced between the U.S. and China only undid some of the harsher trade restrictions the two countries imposed on one another in recent months. There are more trade barriers in place now than there were in February when this all started, experts have noted.

Promises made; promises not kept. As usual.

Walmart warning its customers, online, about the shit hitting the fan

Walmart employees say they're being hit with a flood of in-store price updates — and they're sounding the alarm online.

Screenshots from workers' handheld inventory devices show thousands of items being repriced across entire stores — in some cases, more than 15,000 in a single location.

Another said that at their store, just in the clothing section, there were '4,000 today'.

'Lately my section has been getting 5,000 to 9,000 a week,' another added, saying it was a 40 to 50 percent increase over usual.

those poor workers having to deal with fractious customers

when will we hear about angry entitled magats waving guns about and blaming Walmart for the price hikes?

And yet, with all of this negative news, the markets haven’t crashed as you would expect (although there WAS a pretty significant drop on Friday).

The major players in finance / investment & the corporations are propping up the market at least until they get their yuuuuuge tax cuts, etc, in “The One Butt Ugly Bill”, imho.

Who knows - if the major players get their yuuuuuge tax cuts, etc, from”The One Butt Ugly Bill”, the markets may continue to do fine - even as “the little people” suffer.

Maybe the plan is to make things so terrible that regular (non-undocumented immigrant) Americans will break down and work in the fields, etc, for shit pay, while still paying “The company store” prices.

MAGA - Make America Grapes (of wrath) Again.

Canada to impose new digital tax on American tech companies... trump is pissed (trump media *cough*) and throwing a hissy fit:

The president posted, "We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.

who knew Canada, America's best trading partner, was so very hard to cut deals with? This self-proclaimed master-of-the-deal maker seems to find healthcare, war-cessation talks and, now, tariff deals with other countries so much harder than we could have ever expected them to be: and by "we" I mean "trump"
Out of his depth, out of his greedy gourd.

They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also.

So now Canada's an American enemy, along with the European Union?

Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

damn you and your pesky meddling, Canada! you're making trump look bad (worse) and he's ugly enough already. Don't you understand he's the leader of the world, solar system, galaxy, universe, right up there with god as his chosen one?

Donnie is still so upset about the trade deal that he negotiated with Canada and Mexico in his first term!

Poor Donnie. Maybe his dementia caused him to forget signing that deal.

Now the MAGA sheep will hate Canada with a passion because Trump told them to. Such obedient sheep!

 

[MajorRewrite]

And don’t forget that the US had a trade surplus with Canada (excluding oil) before Donnie’s first tariff tantrum.

The stable genius at work.

MAGAts want everybody to have a gun for protection, but only the U.S. can have tariffs for protection…

G7 countries are shifting to import agricultural goods from Canada rather than the USA

Due to Trump's insane policies, US agricultural exports are being replaced with agricultural exports from Canada

Once the undisputed leader of the global grain trade, American wheat is rapidly losing ground in 2025. From the Philippines to France, buyers are now turning to Canada, Australia, and Argentina, signaling a crisis not of price—but of trust.

U.S. SOYBEAN COLLAPSE Just Got Worse — 88% of Exports Wiped Out in DAYS as China turns off US imports. That Chinese market will never come back. China is loyal to its friends.

In a shocking turn of events, the agriculture industry in the United States is facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions, while just across the border, Canada is flourishing. In this video, we explore how the once-dominant U.S. agricultural powerhouse is on the brink of collapse, as Canadian farmers celebrate their most successful export season in years.

How did this drastic shift happen, and what is behind the crumbling of the American farming industry? From rising tariffs to labor shortages, and climate issues to disrupted supply chains, American farmers are grappling with challenges that seem impossible to overcome. Meanwhile, Canada’s agricultural industry, supported by strategic government programs and a streamlined, efficient system, has been positioned to seize the opportunity.

We’ll delve into the stories of five pairs of states and provinces—where one side is struggling, and the other is thriving—despite being separated by just a few hundred miles. Join us as we uncover how U.S. regions like Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin are losing ground to Canadian powerhouses such as Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario.

From soybeans to beef, dairy to cherries, we’ll examine how Canada is stepping in to fill the void, gaining market share from the United States, and what this means for future generations of farmers. Discover how Saskatchewan has quietly risen as a new soybean hub, replacing Iowa, and how Alberta is taking over the global beef market. We also explore the sudden rise of Ontario’s dairy industry and how Quebec is becoming the undisputed leader in maple syrup production, pushing Maine’s proud tradition to the side.

This isn’t just an agricultural story. It’s a tale of shifting global markets, political decisions, and how the U.S. is losing its once-unshakable dominance. In this eye-opening report, we explore the factors behind this transformation and the impact on everyday Americans.

What does the future hold for American farmers? Can the U.S. reclaim its position in the global agricultural market, or has it already been overtaken? Watch now to understand the seismic shift happening in agriculture, and the untold story behind the rise of Canada.

Canada has just signed a huge new deal over resources in Greenland

Trump insulted and threatened Greenland as well as Canada. Greenland was really pissed. Canada was pissed as well. But Carney, unlike Trump, is a smart cookie focused in reality rather than media clips

Mark Carney has been cutting deals with the EU - and has now signed a deal with a Canadian mining company over minerals.....potential to supply all the EUs molybdenum needs for decades. Canada is buying into the EU.
