Everyone is talking about Trump's tariffs and no one is happy about it. Everyone who supported Trump before is now saying F*ck Trump. I just got gas and a guy came up to me complaining about the people who voted for Trump and how they will be affected by his tariffs. Tariffs are taxes. They raise the price of everything we buy.
The intent behind tariffs is to protect domestic production. Trump putting tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber is not a big deal. We can just sell our limited amount of softwood lumber to other countries instead. All it will do is raise the cost of building houses in the US. Trump's Tariffs are forcing Canada and Mexico to boycott American made products and buy products imported from other countries instead.
Justin Trudeau is an as*hole and an idiot. He has no business speaking on anything. He resigned and shut down parliament to give his party a chance to find a replacement. That doesn't give him more power as a dictator to do whatever he wants. He resigned because he has the lowest approval rating in history. He ran his party into the ground.
If there was an election today, the Liberals would not be in power so Justin Trudeau has no business making unilateral decisions on anything. Last week Justin Trudeau and his third wife, Doug Ford wanted to ban the sale of Alberta oil to the US. Knowing full well that would literally bring BC to a grinding halt.
We ship unrefined Alberta oil to the US who refine it and sell it back to us. If we stopped selling the US oil, BC would have none. That means no gas at the pumps and no groceries in the store. Doug Ford has no jurisdiction over BC and Alberta. Making that suggestion shows he is a raging lunatic who has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Instead of raising tariffs we need to build a refinery in BC.
As I have said, putting retaliatory tariffs on American food imported into Canada would only punish Canadian consumers. Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh created the mass inflation we now experience. Now they want to make it even worse. They have completely lost their mind.
The only sensible thing they said was to put tariffs on American booze. That would give a chance for domestic production to fill in the gap. Adding a 25% tariff to our food is criminally insane but hey, that's what we expect from WEF puppets.
6ixAK_TV posted a video on X of Canadians booing the US national anthem at a hockey game in Ottawa. That's a logical consequence to Trump's arrogant insanity. He keeps insulting and burning bridges with his closet neighbour and ally.
We need to remember that Donald Trump was never a Conservative. His defiant endorsement of Bill Gates and the WEF is a huge concern. He did a lot of good things but his arrogance has completely consumed him.
We need to realize that there were serious problems with NAFTA and all these trade agreements that went far beyond free trade. They had clauses in them that took away our sovereignty. TILMA and NAFTA Chapter 11 compensation awards were the perfect example. So again, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Let's balance the extremes.
If we're going to respond with counter tariffs, tariff American booze, cars and trucks. Yet even that will effect Canadian jobs who sell American cars and trucks. Adding tariffs to the food we import from the US is insane. We need an election not more counter tariffs from two idiots who have no idea what they are talking about and are simply puppets for the WEF.
If they wanted to hurt the USA cut off the hydro we sell them, build refineries & sell our own natural resources on the world market directly. Call up the Japanese & tell them hey we are now open for business how much LNG do you want per year !
