Not concerned but willing to deal with temporary pain to accomplish the long term goals. If Harris was in office there wouldn't be tariff's but we would be getting anal raped without lube for at least four years.

I came to largely say the same. They need us way more than we need them. Canada is broke. The only leverage Mexico has is if they didn’t allow H2A workers in to work on our farms. We will end up on the winning end. The left hates his first round of tariffs but amazingly left them in place and in fact Biden increased them.
General statements to all
Remember Canada and Mexico have no automobile manufacturing. Yes car manufacturers have places up there but they are all US based or in other countries.
Also keep in mind none of this talk went on when Biden was in office and he increased tariffs. Biden’s prices went up and no one said a word. Trumps prices haven’t even risen yet and the morons are already claiming they have. There’s no measure to monitor prices over a few days so it’s all politics

I can’t think of anything I buy that says made in Canada. Only thing I can think of that this might impact me is at times I buy sweet peppers grown in Canadian greenhouses probably some 2x4’s but most of them come from Idaho that I’ve seen recently. For all I care Canada could go bankrupt and become the 51st state.

It's a game of chicken and who ever blinks first loses. Pretty sure we ain't blinkin'.
87.5% of Canada’s toilet paper is imported from the U.S. Trump could do the funniest thing right now.

I'm going to get another beer
I'm thirsty.
I'm thirsty.
Beer? Seriously? I have a refrigerator downstairs that 100% refutes, destroys, mocks, disparages, disproves, and annihilates that statement. Then sets it on fire, drowns it, buries it, and bends - folds - spindles - and mutilates it.
Funny, owned by a US company....

I was looking over the numbers of the last 10 years of trade. Our trade deal with Canada minus oil is a decent one. More of a partnership really. Fair deal. Where it gets out of control is oil. Over 150 billion USD on that 10 year average goes north to our Canadian family. Now we for the most part accept this deal as we really don't need their oil and can drill ourselves for supply. But it helps our northern neighbors. So the real reason is simply Canada under Trudeau has taken advantage of us. Let me explain.
Canada allows migrants to fly into the country without documents. This began to overwhelm their system financially and strained resources. So in response the Canadian govt quietly were suggesting the United States as a final destination for these migrants and pointed them to the resources to get them to the border. New York state a major crossing. NYC housing, credit cards....aka free money the motivation.
Trump is only asking that Canada recognize the great deal they have. One which honestly is a subsidy for the Canadian govt and secure the northern border. That's all. But the Canadian problem is what to do with their current migrant policy which will break the system if they are to remain in Canada. We all know the answer but in an election cycle that would be political suicide for the left wing party in Canada.
As for tariffs as a whole, the United States is an 85% consumer economy. We buy. All spending and mostly on credit. Making nothing really of any quantity for export. This is a bad economic position for any country to be in.
WW2 victory was won because we, the U.S., out manufactured the enemy. Today that formula is the same but we cannot meet those obligations and we are reliant on foreign parts for weapons systems. lol
So we need a hard reset and for the Americans to be exposed to our real situation on the global stage. Trump is getting the conversation started. Wait til you really see how badly our friends have treated us.

The US consumes near 10 BILLION gallons of beer per year. Find a different brand and all will be good.
Tariffs are just another Tax that the US government can collect...
Before 1913 Income tax Bill, America got the majority of its Revenues through Tariffs...enough Tariff income we could recind the Income Tax...letting the people decide where to spend "thier" earned money and stop the government from taking it from the workers...nice to dream though.

So the buttplug that had no clue how to run the country don’t get questioned. But the guy that fixed it before and will again is a problem. Sad ppl on this planet
Trump's tariffs are not about economics. They are about politics. In this case making Mexico and Canada do more to patrol their borders to stop illegal immigration and the fentanyl traffic. When they change the tariffs will.
