B-Man Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 Trudeau Trumped: Tariff-ied Canadian PM Makes Surprise Visit to Mar-a-Lago Just days after Trump announced plans to slap tariffs on Canada and Mexico, Justin Trudeau made an unexpected journey south of the border - straight to Mar-a-Lago. Justin's journey was cataloged throughout the day, culminating in a photo of the Canadian kiss-up seated next to President-elect Trump. While Democrats are bleating about guacamole taxes and singing a chorus of 'We told you so' about a guy who won't take office until January, Trump's preemptive pressure campaign is already making waves. https://twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2024/11/30/trudeau-flies-to-mar-a-lago-n2404442
The Frankish Reich Posted November 30, 2024 Author Posted November 30, 2024 Could someone explain to me what concessions Trump is trying to extort from Canada? Consider: - I want the Keystone Pipeline built to bring Canadian shale oil to U.S. refineries/ports - I want to slap a 25% tariff on Canadian imports which would render the Keystone Pipeline completely unviable.

"Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!" Wrote Trump, on Truth Social, quoted in "Trump Plans Tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China That Could Cripple Trade/The president-elect said that he would impose the across-the-board tariffs on Day 1 and that they would stay in place until Canada, Mexico and China halted the flow of drugs and migrants" (NYT). News of the tariffs immediately set off alarms in the three nations, with the currencies of Canada and Mexico sliding against the dollar and a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington warning that “no one will win a trade war.” Calling it a "trade war" is itself an attempt to win. Trump is calling it an "invasion." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/business/economy/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china.html?smid=url-share . IMAGINE THAT: Mexico makes record fentanyl bust days after Trump tariff threat. “Mexico’s top security official, Omar Garcia Harfuch, said the ‘historic’ bust was achieved in two raids spearheaded by the country’s navy and that two men were arrested and several weapons seized.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/04/americas/mexico-fentanyl-seizure-trump-tariffs-intl-latam/index.html Incentives work. .

The Frankish Reich Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 Wow, why didn't anyone think of this before? Like, maybe in 1789, when the U.S. Customs Service was established? Exhibit 1,009 in He Thinks You're All Idiots.

daz28 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I know were not allowed to have access to the concepts of the plans, but how does this make sense: Tariffs Feb 1st: Canada: 25% For only losing 44k soldiers in WW2 Mexico: 25% Trafficking China's drugs and not doing reverse immigration(you let them leave) China: 10% Fentanyl, Stealing secrets, unfair trade, etc, etc etc Russia: Stop invading and killing other countries, or you'll eventually get a tariff. For now you'll get the WW2 discount double check for losses.
B-Man Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Keep using the tools available. The Canadian government needed no translation, of course. The question is whether they think Trump might be bluffing. They ought to know better.

Customs doesn't attempt to control what's leaving your country. Customs protects against what comes INTO your country. 1
