Dougie thinks we could dismantle the USA.

Turn the oil and power off and watch what happens... Cooler heads need to prevail here

Thats a nice sentiment but if we want to play that game we should be buying 5 divisions worth of equipment from South Korea today. The US has a history of forced regime change when it is in their interest and we lack the capability of stopping them.

We turn the power,oil and potash off just means we have handed Trump exactly what he wants, the justification to do anything he wants including using force

I agree. Let's buy and sell as much stuff as we can from and to everybody else on the planet.

For those tariffs that violate existing trade agreements, tie them up in whatever dispute mechanism there is.

Turn off...no.

Export tariffs.

If Carney really wanted to turn the screws to the Yanks, just put in export tariffs tomorrow. On just oil.

The USA needs every drop of oil right now with them drawing from the SPR, if Canadian oil had a export tariff (paid by the importer, so one case where foriegners actually pay the tariff) the yanks have two choices.

1. Import less Canadian oil, drawing down the SPR even faster, pretty much Canada teaming up with the Iranians to pressure the USA

2. Pay the costs, driving up prices in the USA even more.

Granted, the wrath would be epic. So would the fury.

Not even oil, potash, fall planting season is around the corner. Watch red state farmers go bankrupt when fertilizer goes up 200%
