Remember when Mark "Elbows Up" Carney removed countertariffs on the US a month ago as a "goodwill gesture" to "restart negotiations" and literally today Trump said again in 100% seriousness that he wants to annex Canada. Glad we softened him up with all that goodwill. Makes our Elbows look very Up.

I wonder if the people who decided to scrap the Canadian digital tax (effectively breaking Canadian law) are the same people who chose not to implement the additional $115 billion in countertariffs. Those people need to be jettisoned.

This was a miserable watch. I’ve never felt so ashamed to be an American. I want to take to the streets. I also want to wait until the countertariffs hit to maximize effect.

The sentiment in Canada is being wildly underestimated. It's not a question of countertariffs, it's shaping up to be a grassroots boycott of everything made in USA.
It's going to take years to undo the sense of betrayal.

The countertariffs hit U.S. agriculture particularly hard, forced many rural banks to close (before deposit insurance). It took 4 years to repeal, playing a big role in the Republicans losing 101 Congressional seats and the White House in 1932. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

If it hurts you, then protest your president. Or have your governors reach deals with Ontario to avoid the extra expenses. It's easy to stay idle if you are not the feeling the pain too. Furthermore, if you raly behind Donald for being punished by countertariffs, then you really aren't worth much.

This is literally all in the realm of psychology, not economics. The only situation where tariffs are good is one where you put a tariff on potatoes and your own country immediately puts up potato farms no prob. If that doesn't happen (it doesn't and countertariffs will kill your existing potatoes)>

We deeply regret the US tariffs imposed on Europe.
Tariffs are taxes.
They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers.
Today Europe takes strong but proportionate countermeasures.
We remain ready to engage in dialogue ↓

China: Import 143,6 Milliarden$ export 439 Milliarden$ macht ein Handelsdefizit von 67%

8/9 Energy imports face a 10% tariff in the current trade dispute. In response to US measures, the Canadian federal government has implemented its own counter-tariffs, and several provinces have enacted non-tariff countermeasures like cutting off American alcohol sales.
