    “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.

                      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.

                                        This is wild. I dunno what to call this, but it feels more like a progressive policy. A big tax, a big experiment - and run completely by the executive, without any legislative input.

                                        If nothing else, we’re about to see some real world data.

                                          Also - recession in Canada seems almost assured. Things were already a little soft over there. That’s a generation of animosity at least.
