Tariff goods from nations that have excessive trade surpluses with the USA. Someone actually figured out where he got his original tariff numbers from: trade surplus with the USA divided by total exports.

Reduce income taxes to stimulate purchases at home, and use tariffs to replace them with.

I get it, but the timing is awfully close.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When Justin Trudeau resigned at the start of this year, Canada’s Liberals appeared to be heading for the door after almost 10 years in power.

The opposition Conservatives were in a strong position, with a 25 point lead and an easy attack line: that any Liberal candidate would be no different to Trudeau, who had become increasingly unpopular.

But those fortunes changed dramatically in the months leading up to the election and now Mark Carney, former Bank of England governor, has declared victory.

That’s largely down to one phenomenon: the return of Donald Trump as US president.

No, it wasn't suppose to go down that way.

Trump managed to do something that a lot of Canadians haven't seen in their lifetimes. Unite the entire country from coast to coast to coast. Even Quebec was pissed. So, he managed to piss off almost every since Canadian. Guess we should thank him for that maybe.

I have a friend whose daughter is unfortunately one of those idiots who voted Conservative and is now crying in her beer towel.

At the end of the day, Canada has just about zero say in the matter.

Once we stop offering military aid to everyone, they're all going to go bankrupt paying for free healthcare and anything else they're looking to fund on top of their own defense budget.

Canada has no leverage at all here, and I suspect there will come a day where Canada is asking us if they can join. I hope at that point the answer is no.

Tariffs are consumption taxes. American consumers pay for tariffs on Chinese goods, not the Chinese government, businesses or people.

Trump pretends that exporting countries pay our tariffs. If he really believed that, he’d be happy to see Amazon post how much China is paying to get their goods into our market. But when rumors surfaced that Amazon was going to do just that, the Trump outrage machine kicked into high gear:

“Earlier on Tuesdsay, Punchbowl News reported that Amazon would show tariff-related price increases on goods. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the move “a hostile and political act.”

Once again, the Trump Administration does what it accuses others of doing. In this case, a taxpayer-funded hostile and political attack on Amazon for transparent reporting of facts. They’re gaslighting, and they’re using your tax dollars to do it.

Wrong Jack, Trumps' power is waning.

Trump's Michigan "rally" of less than 3,000 people in a half filled arena was yet another disaster, as most of the crowd left half way through, and Trump spent 90 minutes defending his failed first 100 days by attacking, what else, "communist left wing judges" and changing his tariff policy while literally on Air Force One on the way to the rally to pander to the skimpy crowd.

I'm not aware of anybody campaigning or any pending election.

People got shit to do like working on a Tuesday. Republican voters usually work for a living.

I'm the exception to the rule.

It's easy to fill up arenas for AOC when you have a huge pool of angry unemployed people with nothing better to do that you can bus in.

Too bad for you, but there is a video from the White House saying Amazon's plan to display tariff costs is "hostile and political act"

The false part of the story was the idea that Amazon was going to do this in the first place. Not only wasn't it going to do this, but it is not capable of doing this.

"Overall job loss by end of term: According to USA Today, approximately 4 million fewer people were employed at the end of Trump's term compared to when he took office. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that the year ended with 9.8 million fewer jobs than before the pandemic and 546,000 fewer jobs than at the start of his presidency."
