Trump boosts tariffs on Canada to 35%, carrying through on his threat
-
“Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president’s actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat,” says the statement.
If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.
Funny thing is, he’s still a rapist who is partaking in a massive cover up to conceal the fact that he was involved in Epstein’s child sex trafficking empire.
We shouldn’t be doing business with him, regardless of whatever “deal” Canada expects to get from this unstable idiot.

It was on Lemmy. Did you miss it?
Unfortunately I don’t see every post that’s ever posted to Lemmy, so yes I missed it.
Thanks for the link though.
These guys sound totally unbias…

Yes, I do agree that it reads pretty bad in the introduction. They should’ve run the shit through an LLM to cool it down a little bit. There was actually a place where it compares the number of deaths per day to an airplane full of people. Just try to filter that crap out and get to the data.

I’m not sure who the audience is at this point.
His followers, who think this makes him a strong leader.
You’re probably right. I keep forgetting the context he operates in. From propaganda perspective these tariffs are a perfect tool for him. They allow him to maintain the strong leader facade while having little economic effect. The fentanyl issue is something his base is concerned about so he loops than in to demonstrate he’s taking care of it. We can live with that.

The worst kept secret: Trump is a rapist pedophile. The Untied States is a laughing stock because they not only refuse to enforce their own laws consistently, they make a known criminal who has committed at least 100 felonies their leader. Why do other world leaders put up with this shit?

Literally this. Why not come together and say that they cannot work with criminals? It looks bad on them that they still do, and it continues to give trump legitimacy.

Carney needs to just respond publicly something along the lines of “if you’re so concerned about drugs why did you pardon the silk road guy”

Reciprocate.
I never understood the reason to reciprocate, if tariffs only effect Americans than wouldn’t Canada imposing tariffs only effect Canadians?
I sure bet there is a lot more American made products in Canada than vice versa.

Then he’d be “mean and nasty” and we certainly wouldn’t want that.
Thank you for your attention in this matter!
