Canada?! Why the hell would he do that to Canada of all places? None of this makes any sense whatsoever. The US doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to do anything for itself. It's just going to make consumer goods ungodly expensive.
Canada spent the last 80 years basing policy and trade directly in support of American interests. At the expense of building trade agreements with China and even europe. Canada is fucked with tariffs. It's going to throw us into a recession as all prices will be going up. We get most of our stuff from the USA.
Shit, the US put tariffs on softwood lumber and that increased our lumber prices like 500% a couple of years ago.
Canada is already in a recession, if you take housing out of the calculation. Because of our housing situation, it'll probably do some absolutely bonkers depression type thing.
you guys should uncoup yourselves. i dont think the US would dare invadee or embargo Canada due to optics anyway
Both Canada and Mexico doesn’t make sense. NAFTA has made it that supply chains in those countries are heavily reliant on crossing the border. Like I think cars manufactured on the continent have parts that cross the border multiple times. It’s gonna be like a fucking compounding tax on cars lmao.
A pickup is gonna cost like as much as a house.
Critical support for getting those monstrosities off the road.
Canada is actually a major source of US fent
Trump's a big fan of the NHL and hates how many Canadians the American teams import
It does seem quite strange, but reactionaries, especially US republicans, are not known for being sane.
