    I think Lutnick is, like a schoolyard sycophant laughing at the bully's lame jokes.

    (I think it's Lutnick who is always near trump laughing at his jokes during press conferences?)

      This constant referral to Governor Trudeau is so childish. Does the silly twat honestly believe people are laughing along with him every time he repeats it?

      @Doctor-Phibes

      Peter Navarro said on an interview either yesterday afternoon this morning that Trumpigula was offended yesterday morning when Trudeau, during his address to Canadians, referred to him as “Donald” and repeated the WSJ headline before going on to announced retaliatory tariffs.

      Seems that TrumPIGula is really as thin skinned as people have said when his unmitigated BS is called out.

      He has been regularly on the news here making no sense whatsoever of the alleged reasons for the punitive sanctions. His explanations all over the board and contradictory from one day to the next reflecting the chaos emanating from Oval Office.

      Today it is being reported that Lutnick called Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, and told Ford to walk back his threat that Ontario might levy a 25% surcharge electricity into the US. Ford refused and the became quite “heated and terse”. Ford today is still not backing down from earlier statement that electricity is not off table for an added provincial surcharge or even dialling down the delivery of power

      Elbows up!

          Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped. He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, “That’s not good enough.” The call ended in a “somewhat” friendly manner! He was unable to tell me when the Canadian Election is taking place, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? I then realized he is trying to use this issue to stay in power. Good luck Justin!

          For anyone who is interested, I also told Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada that he largely caused the problems we have with them because of his Weak Border Policies, which allowed tremendous amounts of Fentanyl, and Illegal Aliens, to pour into the United States. These Policies are responsible for the death of many people!!

          A basic correction. Trudeau won’t call the next election.

              Ah sorry missed that. I’m just floored that no one in the GOP is pushing back on this idiot.

              Well I guess not that surprised…

                No big deal.

                Well the CEO’s of Ford, GM and Stellantis pushed back and were granted a 30 day postponement on tariffs on all vehicles manufactured under CUSMA to which the US is legally still bound to adhere.

                I think the auto industry read Trump the riot act and he blinked. He’s now looking for a way to extricate himself the legal black hole he been taking the country.

                  One of the bugs, or if you’re Trump, features, of tariffs is the opportunity for corruption by granting exceptions.

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                    Remember when the government wasn’t supposed to pick winners and losers?

                    Does anyone have any principles or is everything post-hoc rationalizations?

                          Saw something that said he is looking to remove farm products from the tariffs.

                              If not that, then it will give the auto makers’ legal teams extra to put the finishing touches on their lawsuits challenging the Trump regime’s rationale to invoke the sanctions against their industry’s well established and cost efficient supply chain management system.

                              Apparently, the Trumpigula regime doesn’t understand that laissez-faire implies the exact opposite of government micro-management of private industry.

                                That would be only done at the request or acquiescence of the Government of Saskatchewan. I don’t see that happening at present, although that could change very quickly.

                                    Wonder what happened. Someone showed Trumpma copy of CUSMA bearing his signature? A YouTube video of him proclaiming it the greatest trade and investment deal in history?

                                    Fear of taking yet another Canuck elbow to the teeth for telling more lies about us?

                                    Edit (one hour later):

                                    Not yet clear whether Canadian exports are included in the pause or carve outs. Lutnick says one thing then WH maintains otherwise.

                                    In the meantime Ontario has confirmed it will levy a 25% surcharge on electricity exports into NY, Michigan and Minnesota (sorry 89).

                                        @LuFins-Dad said in Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread:

                                        The Michigan one will hurt Trump. The other two? Not so much…

                                        Seriously? Trump will consider it a win if he also gets to stick it to the voters in two states that went for Kamala in 24 and Biden in 20.

                                          I'm following Canadian groups - and one thing I don't think I've heard much about - but even if the Trump abandoned all of the tariff talk today, the resentment he's built will have a longer lasting impact. Many folks in Canada are moving away from American products - and many with no intention of returning as Trump has instilled a "buy Canadian" mindset that may not die for a generation or two. The longer he plays with this, the more people will joint that crowd. Further, once other supply chains are built, why change back unless there is a compelling reason to do so? As for industries that are interdependent between multiple nations, you can't buy yesterday - and once we have lost a manufacturing capability - which our nation's leadership bought into for 30 years, getting it back ain't easy.

                                          There's a wonderful video on shipbuilding. Tell me that we can do what China has done - not a chance.
