"Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president's actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat," says the statement. 

If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.

  1. Blink the lights, Doug.
  2. Reciprocate+1
  3. That+1 is permanent until the next regime.
  4. Agree to remove the 'basic tariff' if he does.
  5. That +1 really stays.
  6. Next time Trump rattles his plastic sabre, it's another reciprocation +1 more permanent.

Or

Cut the power by 35%.

I'm hoping for the power cuts, personally.

I never understood the reason to reciprocate, if tariffs only effect Americans than wouldn’t Canada imposing tariffs only effect Canadians?

I sure bet there is a lot more American made products in Canada than vice versa.

Meh, a direct pissing match against a bag of piss isn't likely to go well.

Carney pre-bitchification had the right idea -- he just needs to remember what he'd been saying on the campaign trail. Like how he wasn't going to pre-emptively make concessions/statements, as that would harm trade negotiations.... but then when he gets into the hot seat, he's pre-emptively bailing on the DST. Or how he confidently said shit like "We need to focus more on the things that are in our control, as the US will do whatever the US will do" (or something along those lines) -- just let the piss bag piss himself, and focus on other markets.

Waa waa, it takes time to detangle supply chains! Well it's been 8+ months, how much progress have these companies/industries made? Any? No? Well too fuckin bad then.
