Canada - USA Trade War commencing March 2025

They would obey. First Trump will vilify Canada and Canadians. Then he will convince the American people that Canada actually belongs to the US and he's just taking back what is rightfully his.

Just like Putin claims that Ukraine belongs to Russia, and that Ukrainians really want to be Russian.

And apropos of Alaska, every smoke, shirt, shoe that an Alaskan needs now has to be shipped around or flown over British Columbia, because on the truck, these goods attract a tariff on entering BC and on leaving BC and entering Alaska, as if life wasn't tough enough for the state!!.. oh well.

And the trucks will pay a fee to drive through Canada.

Eby looks the kind of bloke who would do that with a regretful yet firm little smile, too. I am, you may have gathered , a raving ratbaggiing fan of Eby, ... I just go to pieces whenever he gets behind a mike..

I am seeking treatment for this, I hasten to add...

The other shoe is going to drop for Americans, from Maine to California, and from Alaska to Florida when the inevitable result of Trump's tariff idiocy gets it's python grip on the American economy. Trump himself is in some sort of fantasy , some 1880 time warp about tariffs, he has not caught up with 2025 as yet, unfortunately, lots of Americans are quite savvy with ordinary arithmetic and can foretell accurately the effect.. a state of mind that must be very uncomfortable.

For those Americans , my heartfelt sorrow and sympathy..

It is at this point, when the glaring reality knocks on an American's front door, that day when he/ she has to get a new gear box, or a minor repair to the car, the day the farmer in Iowa has to shell out for the potash for summer crops, the day the housewife has to balance nutrition with the chequebook, the day the builder of houses has to renege on his contract and tell his buyers its going to be $ 15,000 dearer, just today, might end up being $50.000.00... when Walmart closes it's doors, when Mcdonalds becomes 'fine dining'.. when the temperature hits 120 in Arizona and there is no electricity for the air con, when the lights go out in Las Vegas,... this time next year , Americans will be thinking, ''ye gods, remember when we used to travel to gamble??? what were we thinking!!!????''

Tariff wars have walking wounded, knocked out wounded and wounded that never get up again, and history tells us, even American history itself, they've done this to themselves before, it hits home harder than anywhere else.

I'm just sayin......

Very realistic, as people will def lose their jobs from top to 'bottom'. There is no way around it. Where do they go, on any level. The Federal workers to start, where do they go, how to they financially survive to pay their mortgages, rent, kids or their own college tuitions, credit cards, car repairs, cars, heat, elec for all of us. How can all this NOT happen.

For me, it's that he has a huge network of 'friends' (connections, colleagues) in very high places across North America and Europe: political, bureaucratic, financial, movers and shakers...he's been working with the UN on climate change so he has leftist credentials, but is also more fiscally conservative than Trudeau. And not ideological...he apparently did not support Brexit but made sure it happened smoothly.

I just looked him up and watched a bit of his speech. Oh yes

 

[Cryptic]

Canadians are not anti-USA, but they bewildered that the USA population appears complacent about the war they started with their closest ally.

The US Lumber Council (an ohh hum group unless one works in the US timber industry) has been complaining about Canadian lumber practices since 1984.

Clinton and Biden placed earlier tariffs on Canadian lumber due to unfair trade practices- so, the dispute is not a figment of the Donald's mind. I wish our allies had been more proactive about settling this dispute- before Trump got a second term.

And not ideological...he apparently did not support Brexit but made sure it happened smoothly.

Carney was horrified at the Brits determination about Brexit, he could see that they were driving themselves into a dead end, and really, up until Trump's current Tariff disaster, Brexit was the shining example of a once reasonable nation shooting itself in the head, no one did it to them , they did it to themselves, it will take generations to repair, if ever..

Trump has set the USA on such a dead end track, too, and , I suspect, for much the same reason as the Brits did it to themselves.... I need not go into details, it's all well documented..

Carney's work with Ursula and the Belgians , and his truly delicate and decisive negotiations with the French during that time were absolute works of art... breathtaking stuff...

Let him - continuing on with infantile name-calling will confirm that rudeness is Donald's one-dimensional brain wave: rude, belligerent, name-calling. Let's see if that's all Donald knows.

If Donald is expecting Trudeau 2.0, he will be in for a big surprise.

Trump was interviewed on Fox and asked directly whether he thought there would a recession this year in the US (in light of the fact that Atlanta Fed is predicting negative GDP growth in the first quarter). He said he didn't like to make predictions. () But he said transitions take time and that transitions are tough and he'd only been in power for a few weeks. But that they were doing big things and that they are bringing wealth back to America.

He looked a bit dejected and wasn't his usual belligerent self.
In other words, he now clearly understands that the tariff war is going to hit the American economy hard.
(No kidding! Everyone has told him that. But now his supporters will see the result.)

So, is there still another country-wide election in Canada in 2025?

" Carney is now referencing the United States, saying Americans "want our resources, water, our land, our country".

"Think about it. If they succeeded, they would destroy our way of life," he says.

"America is not Canada," he adds. "Canada will never ever be part of America in any way, shape or form."

"These are dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust," Carney says.

"We are getting over the shock but let us never forget the lessons - we have to look after ourselves and we have to look out for each other

"We need to pull together in the tough days ahead."

Addressing people across Canada, he says: "I promise you this, together we can and we will get through this crisis.

"We can and we will come out stronger than ever, and we will because Canada is built on the strength of its people."

"Vive le Canada" - love live Canada - he says, before wrapping up his remarks. "

Mark Carney vows to win Canada US trade war as Ontario plans electricity tariffs

The ex-Bank of England governor, who has won the Liberal election to succeed Justin Trudeau, says he will keep tariffs until "Americans show us respect".

Yes. A federal election has to be held before Oct 20.

Yes, there will be a federal election in the near future. Trudeau resigned, he's been replaced, but his replacement is not who Canadians voted for, so the scheduled October 2025 election will be moved forward.

The debate will between Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre.
