Trump says tariffs on Canada and Mexico coming Saturday, and he’s deciding whether to tax their oil
President Donald Trump says his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday. Trump also said he'll "probably” decide on Thursday night whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.
If he excludes oil from the tarrifs, we should increase the price of oil exports ourselves.
Damn straight, put export taxes til the US stops sending guns north of the border.
Alberta would not play nicely.. Danielle Smith is a boot-licker and will do anything to please Trump.
Surely putting tariffs on about 60% of American oil imports will do wonders for their gas prices.
You're missing the point, he's bought the rights to all of the "I did that!" sticker manufacturers. When he skyrockets prices, he'll make a mint on the ensuing sticker wars. I think it's called "sticker shock" or something....
Canada come join us in the EU.
Yes, please. We share a terrestrial border with Denmark and a maritime border with France.
Bring Mexico with you. We are going to enrich European culture with tamales and poutine.
I'd rather not give up currency sovereignty. Closer economic and military ties, sure, but not full membership. There's also the reality that some of the most powerful economies in the EU in Germany and France are flirting with their own neo-fascist movements.
Fuck Nazis.
I hope we throw in somethingn into the retaliatory package like vehicles entering the Canadian boarder need to be zero emissions, those trying to enter with non compliant vehicles will have them seized at the boarder.
That alone should keep most riff raff out of Canada.
As funny as this is, in practice we want them coming up here to spend money.
What we'll do, like last time, is tariff in a very targeted way, hitting specific products where consumers have easy access to alternatives. Like slapping tariffs on bourbon, for example.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I need to stock up on popcorn. The next 4 years are going to be amazing.
I'm stocking up on rice and beans and survival foods as the next great depression is about to drop. If it doesn't? I got a decade of camp food.
There are lots of cooking methods that can help save money
You can take a lot of your food wastes and freeze it and then make broth. I save my pan drippings for roux, gravy, and sauces.
I think this spring I’m going to try planting vegetables, my brother is very into his vegetable garden and has good tips.
Also things like a bag of steel cut oats are more nutritious and filling than instant oatmeal.
