Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread

It appears they've blocked each other too.

I noticed that as well.

So apparently the 1.3B program had already been announced in December. So the concession was appointing a ‘fentanyl czar’.

Looks like Trump was looking for an off ramp.

@jon-nyc

Closer to $1.9 billion when you add in the affected provinces contributing to their own resources to shore up the border areas.

But you’re right that it had already been offered and agreed upon back in December. Part of the reason why the grandstanding and brinkmanship was so incoherent to us.

Normally we don’t do “czars” here. But if it serves as a soother in the petulant little bastard’s mouth then fine.

If that’s what will make him happy, he can go ahead and suck on it for as long as necessary to get him to shut his bleeding cake hole for awhile.

That's the spirit.

Wow. The 1.3 was already the result of discussions with Trump.

The whole thing was Kayfabe.

Check the date.

?

Was this not made public in the US until today, this afternoon?

Incredulous.

Hey Mik, are your relatives on The Rock telling you anything about this Trump initiated shit show?

Their Premier, by any means no fool, is militant in his open condemnation of Trump.

No, and I have a fair amount in Ottawa, retired army. No peep. I should ask.

Check the date.

That might explain why he likes them so much

And you can fuck off too, you little Trumpsucking republocrat troll.

[Horace]

Pablo, you're far too good looking to be taking shots at nice, polite neighbor countries like that.

[Renauda]

That’s, “only occasionally polite” to you, Horace

I like winning.

Conservatives have already won a lot, since Trump took office. It seems like the pace is not slowing down. I'm sure there will be missteps, maybe even a big error or two, but it's nice to see the country heading in the right direction.

Congress needs to do its part. EO 's are often just temporary fixes to permanent problems. I want to see a budget. One that's leaner and harkens back to pre-COVID spending. I want to see Hegseth produce a satisfactory audit out of the DOD and better use of our defense dollars. I want to see reform in Medicare and Medicaid. I want to see some ethics reform in Congress. I want to see banking reform.

Oh, there's lots of things I'm hoping for, but right now I'll be content with some more winning.
