CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

I suspect it’s cover for the annoyance at the ReArm Europe thing instead of buying stuff here.

When in doubt with POTUS47, I assume it's not tactical concealment, but rather "surrounded by imbeciles who learn things long after it's revealed".

Throw in rage bait for the base…

Which to be fair 47 has gone out of his way to make everyone leery of buying US kit, so it’s an own goal at this point.

He's good at that.

I am positive the man has dementia.

He could be surrounded by Rhodes scholars for all we know; he still makes irrational decision that often self-sabotage previous stated goals or contradicts previous decisions.

I have to wonder how long until the 25th Amendment comes into play...

I don't even understand how people somehow think it's a bad thing that our Govt is getting challenged on C59?

So far, the entire argument presented is "TrUmP BaD"

I think it's hilarious that our Govt is getting taken to task by a foreign Govt over this stuff.

Being challenged on it is fine. Packing up your toys and leaving the sandbox over it? Not buying it. There is more at play.

Not quite. Just bad faith. They only found out about this now? right…

So far this administration has been all over the place on what it wants.

For the record, my comment was completely separate from my views on C-59.

I think its a terrible attempt to adapt CANCON policies to the internet, which is ridiculous.

The Biden Administration was threatening tariffs when this bill was passed. They were distracted by the election though.

I definitely wouldn’t cry if this tax and its legislation were ditched. Unfortunately because Trump went and put a big target on it, i think it will be harder for Carney to quietly get rid of it, were he so inclined.
