Update: I just want to add that Trump's statement that's he will not rule out using military force to take Greenland is mentally deranged. China can't take Taiwan but Trump can take Greenland? It's the same thing. Taking over a sovereign state through a military invasion. He has completely lost his mind.
As I previously said, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If Trump puts tariffs on Canadian products, Canada puts tariffs on American products. It's that simple.
The CBC, which is a completely worthless news outlet was all panicking because now that Justin Trudeau has resigned Canada is not bargaining from a position of strength against Trump's tariffs. I can tell you right now, Canada is in a better position now that he has resigned than we were before. There is no weakness or confusion over our leadership. That is clear.
The obvious response to Trumps Tariffs is retaliation. We need to think this through because we buy a lot of food from the Americans and groceries are expensive enough. We don't want to punish Canadian consumers any more than they already have been and we certainly don't want to punish farmers like the WEF are with their fertilizer bans and water diversions.
Yet export is a big part of the American economy. I can tell you right now Canada has a trade deficit with the United States. We buy more things from them than they buy from us. Canada is probably America's biggest customer for American made cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles.
If Canada Imposes a 30% tariff on those in retaliation to Trump's tariffs, then those struggling companies could possibly fail since they count on the Canadian revenue to pay their employees wages. If the Canadian sales goes down, lay offs are the results and the America First objective fails.
If Trump wants to boost the American economy he needs to increase foreign exports not decrease them. His tariffs would dramatically decrease them. Nobody likes a bully or arrogance. If you're going to be an arrogant bully then people aren't going to buy your products. They'll boycott them.
Under normal circumstances Canadians have always felt that by buying American they were supporting the domestic market. If Trump burns that bridge, he loses that loyalty.
Sean Strickland made a video a while ago about selling his Harley and boycotting Harley Davidson because they've gone woke. Personally I find that a bit extreme. I do feel a certain amount of loyalty to that brand. However, my economic reality has me riding a boulevard not a Harley.
All these American companies are struggling. They don't need boycotts. Some American cars are made in Canada. Obviously we won't boycott or tariff those but the others are fair game. America isn't the only country in the world that makes cars. We can buy cars from other countries instead. Foreign companies that build cars in Canada, we can certainly support those.
Trump has to be careful he doesn't get swept away in his pride because we all know pride cometh before the fall. We've all seen it before. What if Canada was to join BRICS? Selling China natural gas will dramatically reduce climate change by weaning them off Industrial coal. We're all set up to do that out of Kitimat. If they don't want to use American dollars we certainly have no problem with that. They can use whatever currency they want.
The idea of Canada or Greenland joining the US is absurd. With a two term maximum Trump is now a one trick pony. Canada under a Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton would be no better off. California, Chicago and New York are Liberal sh*t holes. Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy a condo or townhouse in LA or New York? No thanks.
This NATO expansion serves Blackrock and the Industrial military complex. It doesn't serve freedom or Canada. Trump wants Canada to pay more for NATO expansion. How about end NATO expansion and the war mongering that supports oil wars.
Why would Canada want to join the US if that meant having their deranged FBI or their criminally insane CIA govern us? That's no better than Xi Jinping. The CIA has more black prison sites than Xi does. Trump needs to fix his own back yard before he starts building monuments to himself. Beware of pride.
Also, just for the record, all the illegal immigrants coming into Canada are coming from the United States. All the cocaine that comes into Canada comes though the United States and all the illegal guns the gang bangers use to commit crime in Canada are smuggled in from the United States. Just say'n.
