Trump launches trade war against Canada with a 25% tariff on most goods

As some kind of mystic deer-creature, fuck this guy.

What makes you think it’s supposed to help anyone? This is them speed running tearing the US down to the nails and selling it off for pennies to themselves.

I think your name Nahuatl is Mazaxayacatl. Mazatl (deer) + Xayacatl (face/mask) = Mazaxayacatl.

Use that information as you see fit.

He’s hoping he’ll hurt us (Canada) enough that suddenly his offer to “save” us by becoming a US territory is appealing. Any sort of fentanyl or national security reasoning is just an excuse.

Can we leave him with his broken foot in the engine and under hood while I start the car?

As a Indigenous Canadian, fuck this guy

Implementing a tariff without giving businesses an alternative is a self-inflicted wound in a trade war.

Before Trump imposed his tariffs, the Canadian government said U.S. gas prices could jump some 75 cents US a gallon overnight if he went ahead with tariffs.

Higher fuel prices are going to make the consumer cost of everything go up.

As a squid, fuck all of you who live above the ocean. Won't even let me fly out of the water in peace without one of you mammaling all over the place or whatever.

But also, fuck this guy.

That's exactly what they want and what all this is about. America has access to all the oil it needs but there are too many pesky laws and environmental exclusion zones. This will create a "shortage" so they will need to start up new drilling operations in the gulf, in Alaska, fracking, national parks, any other shit they got cooked up.

I mean we've known his goal when he outwardly asked the oil executives to buy him

Honestly...if you can manage to pin him down don't even talk to him. Anything he spews isn't worth hearing, just [redacted] him to [redacted]

They think they will continue to earn sales when things go up. I've already stopped buying anything but food, so honestly...I don't care. Everything can skyrocket 300% and I wouldn't give a flying fuck

In my mind, it's time to teach ALL companies a lesson and stop consuming. I mean full stop, but literally nothing. Kill them financially. I know this won't happen because the majority of smooth brained idiots who can't help but buy dumb shit over and over

Being that we cut regulations over and over the number of refineries to oil in the U.S. decreased drastically over the years. It is why we had shortages while having loads of crude oil laying around. A quick search shows that building a refinery takes 3-5 years. So unless we can use the refineries we have to produce the fuel we need, we may hit years of higher prices

O weird... Across every platform, I kept reading this would never happen and was JUST A DISTRACTION from some other terrible thing - or if it did happen it'd be our fault for paying attention in the first place (and Daddy drinks because you cry) - and here we are AGAIN. Murka doing exactly what they threatened to do.

Looking forward to Trudeau's response at 6. And the fuck Trudeau brigade can get bent.

It's not just oil by any means. Timber, metals, all sorts of food staples...

I'm looking forward to not being able to afford to live anymore soon. It currently costs me $20 a day to go to work. Just the .75 cents on gas would cost me $120 a month extra right now. Food costs are already outrageous. Certainly going to need a lot more ramen. I have chickens for eggs, but I should figure out some good ways to can/preserve vegatables this season for next winter. I can't just throw everything in the freezer, not enough room.

As an American. We don’t care

This is about fentanyl in the same way your last election was about eggs.

Canada (as a federal unit) has pretty desperately been trying to allow itself to trade oil on the global stage, but the infrastructure to allow that just isn't there. To get meaningful quantities to Canadian ports required pipelines through to the west coast, and that was politically unpalatable to the people living there.

Really sucks that Canada just plainly didn't build the infrastructure to expand to global markets. Most intercontinental trade of Canadian petroleum is via Florida. It'd be great if Canada could flood the European and Asian markets to kneecap Russias war machine funding. But the infrastructure isn't there.
