Trump confirms U.S. tariffs to increase on Canadian goods

170

Listening to a lot of Republicans touting how well the tariffs are working…..here’s my analogy to Scott Jennings and all…..you start high school in September….you are not getting your high school diploma by Xmas….The damage Trump is doing will have a negative effect for generations…..Trump’s tariffs on Brazil are are attempts to have charges against former Prez dropped which DJT thinks will exonerate him in coup attempts…Canada..Melania liked JT’s socks….The Epstein thing, give Trump a shovel…with Putin, the TACO handle given to Trump so very true on this one…Netanyahu…if not in power would be in jail….because one cares for Palestinians starving to death does not make them anti semantic….Trump saying he wants to do the humane thing and feed the starving children is overshadowed by White House cancelling SAID and the need to destroy $$millions of food that would have fed starving kids in other parts of the world. .Trump accuses everyone of the crimes he has committed…

Canada to impose 25% tariffs on $29.8B in U.S. goods Thursday

56

Trump does not have an understanding of economics…he sees the disruptions that are happening and only thinks…wow…I created this…I have power..he does not care about people anywhere…would, and has, thrown family under the bus. And BTW, when is last time he even drove a car himself. ..also curious what the tariffs are on the orange make up he imports from China.

'I'll never roll over': Ford and Trump both vow strength ahead of trade meeting

55

Ford should have left the tax on hydro…and then double it…should work on Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba and BC to follow suit, and Saskatchewan to put a tax on the potassium. If Alberta would join in, would be great. With a united front, Trump will not participate in the dance, his bone spurs would be bothering him.

Agreed.. some corps will absorb.. which will cut into profits, which will decrease dividends… some will pass on which hurts mostly the working man.. and some shelves will be empty.

Any deal made with Trump is good until the ink dries. He cannot be trusted….nit even going to talk about his other character flaws…or whatever a stronger word for flaw would be.

Doug Ford confirms Ontario election to begin Wednesday

25

Ontario, historically, does not like to have PC governments in Ottawa and Toronto simultaneously…Ford anticipating a federal PC win..Voters should remember the things that Ford did and was forced to undo..at a major cost. And things he promised but has not delivered, things that he said he would not do, but did. Ontario Place a looming disaster…we don’t need a new highway at the expense of valuable farmland..A lot to consider on this one. .I also think a lot of arrogance in his cabinet. Prior liberal leaders long gone…health care has to be prioritized…Licence plate stickers $$ could have gone towards…along either way the $200 cheques. Covid exposed a lot of deficiencies in long term care…Ford has rewarded some of those and not followed up on other issues. A majority for Ford in these times not good.

Baby Donald, after posting picture of himself as pope….tells objectors to lighten up, it’s a joke..He who never attends the White Correspondents dinner because they would take shots at him. Pre 2016 run, Obama made a joke about him…and Trump visibly upset. He’s liable to come out with a tariff on Holy Water…

The Bloc is the bad thing…at some point they could be living in a different country …and collecting a pension from Canada. I know Quebec will not separate, but they should have to run a candidate in at least 75 ridings outside of the province of Quebec…putting it simply, its just not right.
