Canada is incapable of dealing with chronic offenders. Rapes or sea cucumbers, it’s all the same.

Imagine if he had raped YOU with a sea cucumber... probably only 6.5 years and you're the .5

This is how you get away with it...

When will carney rip up the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement?

At least Trudeau and Co backed the murder of 60,000 people prior to acknowledging they are a legitimate state and further hampering trade talks, well done.

Random stranger murder just got the exact same sentence as the sea cucumber poacher:

A 29 year old innocent man’s life is worth the same as sea cucumbers.

Man sea cucumbers are getting expensive….

A few days ago in Kelowna traffic, a dude wearing an ankle monitor walked by on the median in traffic by the mall and gestured at me with the big ass knife and was yelling at other cars... I even got a pic, but I'm moving and can't find my fucking cord to get the pic off my fucking phone!

Tariffs are going to hit us hard and this is wild...

Trump gave Vietnam, Japan, and who else 15% and Canada, long time neighbour and ally 35% ... OK, whatever.

Let's just release the Epstein files already and let his own people eat him alive.

He can't even negotiate with a deranged lunatic who changes his mind hourly and negotiates in bad faith. What a loser

/s

Apparently the 35% tariff only applies to non-CUSMA compliant goods? I've heard as much as 95% of goods fall under CUSMA but haven't looked to confirm what the real number is.

Congratulations to Carney on making so many concessions with the US without actually achieving anything.

He couldn't even secure an extension like Mexico received. :rofl:

All of the issues that Trump has brought up with Canada are the same issues that existed under the Biden administration. The liberals inability to address legitimate concerns from the US have ultimately led to this tariff.

Give it another 3 weeks and it'll be extended. We don't call him TACO for nothing.
Who cares really at this point. We still got a full 3.5 yrs to deal with.

Really? I thought the CUSMA was just on auto related parts & cars.

So why are we fretting over the 5%? But lumber and steel are big, I suppose.

Most goods are eligible to be CUSMA compliant.

Many exporters hadn't bothered to file the paperwork to be CUSMA compliant because under the last administration, the tariffs were basically nil or charged at a very low percentage.

While most goods are eligible to become CUSMA compliant, let's not forget that we'd only have < 12 months before CUSMA runs out.

I am not Trump, and I can't reasonably guess what crazy ideas pop out of his head. But all the evidence so far continues to suggest that he still thinks Canada is a lightweight country he can bully around and bend to his will. So the next round of CUSMA negotiations is not going to be easy at all, and he is going to direct his CUSMA negotiator lackey (Licknut?) to drive a hard and unfair bargain.

If this kind of BS happens to me on a personal level, I'd honestly rather take the financial hit and not bother with dicks like Trump. Let it be a lose-lose situation, and I will just ride out the hard times on my own. But on a national level, I can't expect everybody to just grit their teeth and hunker down. And most annoyingly, I know there are people who would rather take an unfair deal instead of just standing their ground and let things fall apart.

A theoretical (on my end) of unfair deal with 25% tariff vs 35%. I don't know it's worth the time and effort to negotiate.

Bro, I absolutely love this for you.

Fuck everyone who works in the lumber, steel and aluminum industries in Canada.

Apparently, it is just not worth the effort to help save this industry and their jobs.

Amazing defeatist attitude by the "Elbows Up" JV squad.

I dunno why anyone thinks appeasement would work. The best known historical example is UK's Chamberlain trying to appease Hitler. And look where that got us.

If you think the US doesn't need our lumber, steel, or aluminum, you are either completely out of touch with reality, or you are on Trump's payroll like Kevin O'Leary is. The BS Trump tariff treats have been going on for so long that all kinds of news and documentaries have shown us how much the US needs our Canadian exports.

Yes, we will feel more pain than the US simply bcos we are a smaller country (economically). But the US will suffer some heavy blows as well. Like I was saying earlier, it's a lose-lose situation if the Canada-US trade negotations fall apart.

The way I see it is no deal is better than a bad deal.

What issues would those be? Non-existant fentanyl threat? A "Trade deficit" ?
I'd tell you to shut your goddamn mouth but I don't know if that's physically possible with Trump's micro-penis between your teeth

Wow, bro. Its actually Carney who is licking Trump's boots right now. The liberals are completely useless.

The Office of the US Trade Representative lists the unfair trade practices it claims Canada engages in, starting on page 57:

The list is from the Biden administration. Same issues that Trump brought up. So the liberals had over half a decade to address this and it took the threat of a tariff for them to take any action at the expense of our economy. Pathetic.
