Trump wants Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal

Make a deal with a duplicitous scumbag who hasn't respected a single deal jhe or his country made?
Someone insane and corrupt to the core?
I'll say what Carney, as a diplomat can't say loud: Fuck off and die, Trump!

And to think I was about to go to the Credit Union to arrange things to buy a Chevy Bolt, as I decided it was the best bang for my buck.
I will go to the LCB, buy a bottle of Cuban Rum instead and think about a Kia or Mazda again.
(I drink Wisers not rum, but it'll be worth it)

"While a 50% tariff is severe, it would apply to only ~5% of U.S. imports from Canada. With 85% of Canada-U.S. trade registered under the USMCA over the last year, most imports would remain tariff-free even if these Section 338 levies are implemented. So, despite the jarring 50% figure, Canada's overall tariff rate would rise modestly, from ~5% to just over ~7.5%."

The World Cup Incident: The video suggests that Donald Trump's decision may be fueled by personal grievances following his experience at the World Cup final, where he was met with boos while Mark Carney was warmly received by players (0:00-1:37).
The Tariff Scope: The proposed tariffs target various sectors including cars, alcohol, dairy, electronics, and even hockey sticks, while notably exempting essential goods like energy and critical minerals, which the video argues proves U.S. dependency on Canada (1:39-2:52).
Economic Impact: The hosts argue that these tariffs essentially function as a tax on American companies and consumers rather than Canada, and they emphasize that the boycott of American alcohol products in Canada has already significantly impacted U.S. producers (2:53-6:49).
Future Outlook: The video advocates for Canada to continue building economic partnerships outside of the United States and calls on Canadians to use their consumer power by supporting domestic goods and avoiding optional travel to the USA (6:50-11:00).



Yup, Trump is reacting to being snubbed and it will happen again and again. The US is not the beacon any more. No longer the shining city upon a hill (if it ever was) it has become what we must avoid.
