Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread

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

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.

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.

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.

Haven't seen this many humans sacrificed to scientific experiments since the Nazis.

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.
Now you know.

That’s no rationale. If you believe China’s behind the Fentanyl, then they would have the highest tariffs, not the lowest.

I am surprised (but not really I guess) that there has been no "push back" from Congress.

Interesting observation.
For my part, until recently I had thought the USA’s 19 Brumaire would still be a post Trump event. I was wrong, I now think Trump has already sent the National Assembly back to their homes and appointed himself First Consul without anyone taking notice. We are now beginning to experience what it will be like. You realize that at the end of the first story Alexander I ‘s army occupied the streets of Paris.

And we would be paying Canada since the net flow of immigrants, (and probably fentanyl), is south to north.

Don’t forget the issue of illegal firearms traffick from south to north…. but MAGAt ideology forbids us to talk about that.

Time for infinite tariffs:
Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!

Anyone wanna take a crack at how this is not insane? Best case scenario, Trump tries to extort concessions with this (by reneging on the USMCA).
At worst this is a hard economic decoupling.

Not only insane, but under totally fraudulent pretenses. It is extortion. Zero justification
The convicted criminal demagogue in WH covets and lies that he is not.

Trumpigula has now even managed to lose his biggest fan in Canada, the one who controls the valve on the oil and gas heading into the USA:
Right now she says she has no plans for a surcharge on oil and gas exports to the US or cut back on energy deliveries but the internal pressure from the general public and more recently industry, for her to put an energy surcharge on the export product is growing steadily.
As far as I’m concerned she just forget the surtax and start turning back the valve and let the MAGAt rabble start paying the new market price for their gas at the pumps.
Stay tuned folks, we will stand up to the school yard bully and its extortionist foreign policy.

At this point it's possible he's trying to think of a way out of this without looking like a complete knobhead.
Too late, I think.

Trudeau called him Donald and said this was dumb. Probably felt satisfying and it played well in Canada…. But I agree @Doctor-Phibes, you need to leave an off-ramp open for Trump here.
