Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread

@89th said in Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread:
That’s a little misleading. You also have to remember that not all oil is created equally. Most of our own refineries are set up to process “heavy” and “sour” crude oil, while most of the oil drilled in the US is lighter and sweeter. That’s a big part of the reason why we import so much oil even though we produce even more. The type we produce isn’t the type we are set up to process.

Distractor alert!
Beauregard is seeking attention by proving once again he has nothing of consequence or value to say on the thread topic or discussion at hand.

A bill to end the national emergency which is the pretense for trumps Canadian tariffs.
So far a handful of Dems and Rand Paul have signed on.

Not surprised that Rand Paul put his name to it. I hope others will step up and show similar moral fibre.

Matt Yglesias jokes: For us to all have glorious futures doing labor-intensive manufacturing work once the sock factories are repatriated from Cambodia, people are first going to need to lose service sector jobs in hotels and such so the reduced tourism is good.

Either way, he's neurologically divergent and allowances should be made in the name of diversity and equity.

Fact checking Trump’s allegations from yesterday:
"We subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business," Trump said. "In the case of Mexico, it's $300 billion. In the case of Canada, it's close to $200 billion a year."
According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion in 2024, down from $64 billion in 2023. That's far less than Trump claimed on Wednesday.

No one here is pinning any hope on it.
We do however appreciate the symbolic gesture and will make note of which Republicans in particular supported it.
