Trump announces 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1
President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, starting Aug. 1, the latest letter to a trade partner that threatens high rates.
Did Carney's caving on the Digital Services Tax achieve anything? Or did it, as many predicted, just tell Trump that Canada is weak and can be pushed around?
In any case, Trump's constant week-by-week improvisation of policy should tell everyone that there's no point making "deals" with him when he'll just tear them up after a few days or weeks.
we should bring it back and triple it, fuck em'.
No... That tax was ACTUALLY paid by Canadians. Wtf are people defending a tax on themselves, just because the orange moron doesn't understand it and wants it gone?
What Canada should do is disregard IP laws if the US wants to be a piece of shit. Hurt the US, not Canadians.
Carney should have never cancelled it. He should have paused it.

More illegal market manipulation.
This dickhead should be rotting in prison for so many reasons, including this.
Not ilegal actually. If the president do it, is legal.
Trump is named in the Epstein files.
Trump cut NOAA and FEMA funding before flash flooding killed over 200 people in Texas including two dozen Christian girls.
It's worse when they are Christian?
To his supporters? Yes.
The Magazis and the oligarch controlled corporate Magazi propaganda networks seem to think so.

Breaking news: Trump delays Canada tariffs!
Oh, what the fuck ever. Must be coming up on a weekend. Better shit on the economy and then walk it back like a bitch on Monday. Why do people even report on Trump's threats? They're just the latest exhibit in the "Hey! The Rich Keep Getting Richer!" Museum.
I feel like they need to do a lot more investigative journalism around this. Did his companies or those of his pals buy a heap of shares/futures/shorts that are likely to be affected by this prior to the announcement? Did they then sell those following the announcementor at least prior to when he walks it back? Is there a pattern of those trades around all his other announcements by the same group of players? Thats the news I want to hear.
I agree. I do recall that Trump posted a message on Truth that 'it was a great time to buy' before announcing a tariff roll back the following day (maybe the day after). So, I agree with you and would also like to see actual investigative journalism around this.
Taco
Because this has worked so far...
In addition to the 35% that they are already subject to? Or was the previous 35% paused along with all the rest of the "reciprocal" tariffs?
I can't keep track of these fucking tariffs anymore. I guess that's the point. Now everything is tariffed so retailers can jack up their prices.
2 weeks taco.
