    I guess Trumpigula cares little for the security of his country’s mineral supply:

    We could also turn back the energy deliveries - hydroelectric and hydrocarbon.

      @jon-nyc said in Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread:

      Gasp! That means even a "3rd term" is not enough; Trump needs to have a pathway to go six terms to affect Alcoa's 20-40 years planning horizon.

        “I look at some of these agreements,” he said. “I’d read them at night and I’d say, ’Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re going to make up a lot of territory.”

        The Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement was negotiated during the first Trump administration to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump described it at the time as the “best agreement we’ve ever made.”

        Perhaps Trumpigula isn’t cognizant that he was the last American President fool Elected Somebody Impotent to sign a North American trade deal.

                So this morning it’s reported that the WH says “maybe not next week”.

                The White House has clarified that North America-wide tariffs are not a done deal, as many news headlines suggested following remarks Monday by U.S. President Donald Trump.

                Trump had been asked Monday whether he's proceeding with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, currently paused until March 4, and he replied: "The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule," then went on to make vague complaints about unspecified abuses against the United States.

                  Wind changed direction again…

                  Tariffs back on next week. 4 March now being trumpeted as the new D day.

                          So as of now, the tariffs start tomorrow. Could somebody please explain to me the rationale of having higher tariffs on Canada than China?

                            None that I can see though the pattern of signaling weakness to adversaries and threatening allies was pretty well established out of the gate with little to no deviation so far.

                                President Trump is taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.

                                  Only a stupid troll and 5 cent MAGAt sycophant like Copper would believe and expect others also to believe that the Trump sanctions against Canada are about fentanyl and hordes of illegal aliens entering the US through its northern border.

                                  It’s about Canada’s sovereignty, It’s wealth of natural resources and Trump’s narcissistic covetousness wanting total control of both.

                                  We will strike back dollar for dollar and where it it will hurt most.

                                  Let’s start with electrical energy….

                                  Newly re-elected Premier Doug Ford doubled down Monday on his threat to cut off electricity flowing from Ontario to several American states if the U.S. moves ahead with tariffs.

                                          You know nothing about Canada’s sovereignty

                                          Please spare us your know-nothing stupid posts.

                                          Didn’t like my first elbow? Well here’s another…..

                                          You can just fuck off and die in your blissful ignorance you worthless cocksucking piece of MAGAt shit.

                                          But then you have always been little more than a just a trite and passive aggressive creep with bugger all to say about anything other than aircraft, computers and hollywood pop culture of the 60s and 70s.

                                          I suggest you stay out of the corners when it’s my shift on the ice.

                                          Elbows up!
