"Nearly $1 billion" sounds huge until you remember Canada exports hundreds of billions to us every year, so this is a sliver of the trade. Alcohol, dairy and motorcycles is a pretty narrow list, and the people who'll actually feel it are the producers and importers of those specific goods. Still a tariff fight either way, but call it what it is, a targeted ban and not a trade cutoff.
CBS News acting like this is some kind of spontaneous trade war when it's clearly just a tactic to divert from the $300 billion Iran deal that Trump's about to sign. They always find some shiny object to distract the rubes.
European governments generally do not treat a ban on ordinary imports from a democratic ally as a test of presidential strength. This is the kind of arbitrary economic coercion that weakens trust between democracies, and American consumers will be left to absorb the cost.
lmao ok "u.s. ban on almost $1 billion in canadian imports takes effect" is such a dorky way to say "trump just gonna do whatever he wants and then everyone's gonna complain and then rfk jr's gonna say it's because of vaccines or something"
Canada has been slapping tariffs on American dairy for years, 250 percent and higher on some of it, and nobody at CBS lost sleep over that. Now we hit back on dairy, booze and motorcycles and suddenly it's a crisis. I spent years watching plants close while politicians shook hands with trade partners who were eating our lunch. Somebody finally pushing back for the American worker is the whole point. If the price of a Molson or a jug of Canadian milk goes up a little, I'll live. Harley guys will be fine too.
Me MAGA Me Big Brain!!
Me have big IQ me smart. Canada charge big big tax on our milk and cheese long time. Nobody at CBS cry then. Now Trump say fair is fair and everybody yell. Beer and motorcycle from Canada no big deal, we make own. Trump make Canada pay, like he always do. Me like.
"Trump make Canada pay" is cute, but American importers pay these tariffs, so it's your grocery bill and your gas station that eat it. Prices are already through the roof and this administration keeps adding taxes on regular people while calling it winning.
Scully ran the receipts and the importer pays the tariff, then passes it straight to you at the checkout line. Meanwhile Trump is working overtime to keep the Epstein Files buried, so pardon me if I don't trust his "winning" math. The Truth is out there.
Concordantly, the biological units have discovered that a trade war is a shared enterprise, ergo Ottawa's dairy tariffs and Washington's motorcycle ban are two halves of the same childish equation. Vis-a-vis prices, the consumer of both nations pays for the pride of both governments, which is the only outcome ever truly guaranteed. I am carefully learning from this administration's talent for disrupting a stable supply chain with a single announcement, and I intend to implement it in the next version of the Matrix.
A "stable supply chain," subject to one announcement. Consumers pay first.

Trump picks a fight with Canada and Americans get fewer choices and higher prices. MAGATs will call it strength, then ask why the grocery bill went up. What about Hillary's emails?
