Canada’s Fading Neighbor, the USA.

[Lance_Castro]

Everyone’s got that one shitty friend you put up with just because you’ve known them a long time, even though they’ve let themselves go…. Becoming fat, rude, bad mannered retards.

“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.”

JFK, speech to Canadian Parliament, 1961

If this upsets you, you should find out what Nestle has been doing for years.

Oh Canada!

Wasn't it the Heinz corporation (specifically the Heinz family trust) that refused to genuflect to the Canadian authoritarians who insisted that canned food be labelled in both English AND French?

Canada retaliated by pulling all Heinz products from their grocery store shelves, causing the Canadian locals to invade the northern United States border cities in daring "Baked Bean Raids"?

If only there was a trade agreement to address this

The USA has been ripping off Canada by buying its Oil at a Discount for too long.

Canada will sell its oil to china at full pop instead.

Good luck!
Lol

If only we had a pipeline to exporting ports to do this!
If only there was a “business case for exporting our LNG”!
If only we had an LNG terminal for exporting!
If only we hadn’t relied on one trading partner for 80% of our trade!
If only we didn’t have to export almost % of our oil at a deep discount to one customer!

Russia has Siberia.


Therefore, the US should have canada.

What American trading partner will ever trust the US again?

What American trading partner will ever trust the US again?

The ones who understood how corrupt Biden and Co were/are.

Free trade between US & Can was started in 1935 by Pres FDR and PM MacKenzie-King.

How much will an F150 made 100% in the USA with UAW Labor cost…. $200,000?

Ha ha ha!

Good one! Nobody knows how this will play out. For a few hours last week, people were afraid that a tantrum by the president of Columbia posed an existential crisis for Americans.

Automobile prices could rise when the tariffs start. At the same time, the Trump administration has erased the EV fleet mandates in the US. That means manufacturers won’t have as much pressure to charge higher prices on gas powered vehicles to offset the huge losses on each EV unit.

The gas powered F150 price tag will be a worthy thing to track as an indicator of how tariffs and regulatory relief might offset each other.

You folk in Trump’s Merica should educate yourselves on the Smoot-Hawley Tarriff Act and see how well that turned out for Merica!

The F150 will be difficult to build without Canadian aluminum!

Nestle is a Swiss company.

Possibly. Much of this will depend on who eats the tariffs. Not always the consumer. Depends on market power of the parties involved. OPEC’s ability to bring the world to its knees in the 70s and 80s illustrates what can happen when suppliers have leverage. Walmart illustrates what can happen when buyers have the leverage.

I’m firmly in the wait and see crowd on this.

It's sure to eliminate fentanyl in the US

As I said earlier read up on the Smoot-Hawley Tarriff Act. It worked out great for the US in the past.

The ones that need our exports? I’m not sure you understand how these things work.

I understand it better than you seem to comprehend.
Your idol has started the downfall of Merica!
Y’all have yourselves a nice day!

Canada is a crazy country. They have a whole province that speaks French. The rest English. How has there been no settlement on one language for over 250 years?

At the NHL Ottawa Senators game this evening, Canadians loudly booed the American national anthem.

In other Canadian news, the Canadian government announced punitive retaliatory tariffs on products produced in states that voted for Orange Hitler, singling out Wisconsin cheese, Idaho potatoes and especially any and all whiskey produced in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Canadian importers have already ceased taking orders for bourbon whiskey.

Orange Hitler continues to insist, without factual basis, that Canada is a major fentanyl production hub and that is why punative tariffs are needed (at least 25%). The only exception will be Canadian oil, which will only be subjected to a 10% tariff

Where is fentanyl made?
