FAFO Canada provides about 1% of our country's electricity. For the few people who will be affected by this, what will the rate increase be? I had read that it would be about $8 on average. Canada will not be able to win this trade war. They need us far more than we need them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 283 Posted March 11 How Tariffs Work. The main things to understand are reverberating effects on 1. Currency & 2. The supply chain. On the 2nd piece it’s basically what happened in Covid, which we all understand because we experienced it. It was cured by the US government dumping roughly $7 trillion into the market.

Grace Under Pressure 47 Posted March 11 I'll take a link to where Trump promised during the campaign to have a tariff war against Canada. To the point where it would tank markets, and who heard that and supported that before the election. Also, these misguided, literally stupid economic "policies" are causing markets to drop, really for no reason at all. Except that Trump hates Trudeau, and is getting revenge. It's easy to spot when rubes have tripled down so hard on Trump, that they think this is all "what I voted for!! lolz". Gullible marks. Trump is focking over the country for himself, and his Mar-a-Lago crowd. Not for the Trump rally crowd, i.e. you. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to disagree with you on this one. Almost everything else Trump has done so far has been a performative stunt. The tariffs on the other hand seem quite real to me, and to our neighbors.

This response is typical of Trump supporters in general at this point. They’ve stopped trying to defend the specifics of what Trump is doing. They’re simply acknowledging that it’s going to be painful and trolling the rest of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 958 Posted March 11 When Trump put tariffs on our largest trading partners, Maga folks applauded it. Now increasing Canada's steel to 50%... they'll support it. Best friends with Putin... they approve. If Trump completely cut all trading with Canada and Mexico tomorrow... I wonder if they'd support that? I'm joking, of course they would. There's nothing they don't agree with. Trump once said "I could shoot someone and my people would still love me." Might think that statement would be an insult to his supporters insinuating they can't/don't think for themselves... but nope - they agreed. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile, the Dow is down another 400-plus points today. It's incredible to me that MAGAs think what's happening now is a good thing just because Trump says it will all be OK in the long run. Trump not only is our worst president hands down, he's also becoming one of history's worst world leaders. This is an unprecedented abuse of power. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Higher prices, lower employment, less trade, stocks down, rates up, and a general hatred of the US amongst our former brothers and allies. I would add that it would add to the deficit - Trump picked up the tab on the farm tariffs in Trump-1 - but I have a feeling this time they'll just let it go thud.
