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

You mean they are Communists?

No... just normal people.

Governments exploit the hell out of that posture, of course - viz:

Casinos, lotteries are government cash machines​

Single-game sports betting revenue will likely pale in comparison with casino revenue

I googled costs and issues with getting that potash from Belarus, the closest port is in Lithuania and they refuse to do business with Belarus, so the potash would have to go through a Russian port. Putin I am sure is going to be happy for the tranist fees....

Waiting it out, it is.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he thinks the Canadian side will contact him in the next three or four weeks and the United States will “win everything.”

“They’re gonna come in and they’re gonna say, ‘Sir, we are sorry,”’ Trump said. “They’ve treated the United States very, very badly. I think a deal will be made but it’s gonna be fair.”

Trump says he expects Canada trade deal within weeks as import ban looms

With just hours to go before his import bans on certain Canadian goods take effect, U.S. President Donald Trump says he thinks he can make a trade deal with Canada in the coming weeks.

You know he’s lying when he’s telling one of his “sir” stories.

No. He is lying every time he moves his lips.

Everything will unfold as intended - after the mid-terms. It's like the joke about listening to a country and western song played backwards ('you get your wife back, your truck back . . . ). After the mid-terms, he will defeat Iran, fuel prices will come down, food prices will come down, trade deals will be flying in the window.

After the mid-terms, he will defeat Iran, fuel prices will come down, food prices will come down, trade deals will be flying in the window.

I'm in the camp that after the midterms - and the potential loss of both houses - that he really won't give a crap about anything anymore and that he'll take a razed earth policy going forward. He will try and burn as much as possible to the ground before he has to leave.

He will try to make as much money as possible, for himself, for his family and his supporters. He'll issue blanket, pre-emptive Presidential pardons across the board to his entire cabinet, family, friends, supporters at a level never seen before.

When finally dies, I hope that all the remaining former US President's boycott his funeral as a sign of disgust with how he ran the country.

Well I guess we're entering the nasty phase.

I hope Alaska, Point Roberts and the Northwest Angle are watching. Bonded trucks are not for import, so bans and tariffs don't apply to them.

This is an escalation.

It could equally be an overzealous office that will be corrected by Washington.

If it's how Washington has directed their people to act, this could get really petty real fast.

Stelco is small potatoes.... Canadians can't see the forest through the trees again.

Ideology is causing Canadians to miss out on a big commodity super-cycle and greatly enhance the wealth of our Nation.... again:
