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

[rmc_wannabe]

One thing I (and many others, Blue or Red alike) hated about PMJT was his inability to pivot from harmful policy in light of changing conditions or events. Be it COVID, Ukraine, or the fact that budgets don't, in fact, balance themselves.

I would find myself hypocritical to deride this new PMMC Goverment for doing the thing I wanted, by ditching the #ElbowsUp approach and trying something different. 6 months is eons in the world of politics.

Hopefully this brings the Americans to the table in better faith and we can get on with business.

Then we continue what we’re already doing- diversify our trade elsewhere to the extent feasible, find policies that encourage growth and diversification of Canadian industry etc.

The American population is showing an incredible tolerance for really stupid and self-destructive policy and administration action in other aspects of government, so it’s absolutely possible that we have overestimated the extent to which they’ll ’smarten up’, at least under the current administration. We seem to have our own government hoping for the best but planning for the worst, so there we are I suppose.

They will continue to do so right up until they snap - and when they do will be brutal. It was the same situation during the lead up to the late summer of 2008.

A positive development, but this is not over.

FYI, just pulled in another tariff thread to make this an "all things US-CAN tariffs" thread, so thread title also edited.
