Trump is acting like it's not American companies buying cheaper steel from other countries. Or cheaper Aluminum. Or cheaper cars, electronics, plastic, etc. All the cheap stuff! Need some engineers? Could use some American educated talent, but those Indian engineers will work for like 40% of the pay! Mexicans will never complain like American auto workers (because there's millions of replacements waiting to take their jobs) so they will work in dangerous and underpaid situations. All that progress that costs money up here. Good thing steel smelters are built overnight, and come complete with workers.

Trudeau said no to suggestions of becoming the 51st state and you disagree? You want to vote a Canadian leader that will say yes? You're a traitor.
Some people have just programmed themselves to blame Trudeau for everything in their life. Run out of gas: F*xkin Trudeau. Crash your car? F*ckin Trudeau! Cut your finger? f*ckin Trudeau!!!

It's sad actually, JT is responsible for a lot of things, yes many bad.....but the level of mental gymnastics people will go through to blame him for erroneous things is hilarious.
Be sure to tell us all who it was the scumming trump on a hot microphone . Schoolgirl antics from the sidelines has accomplished what we are seeing now , thanks justin , btw where is he giving our money away today ?

Needed a few tools, just ordered from Gray Canada :up: More expensive than the offshore crud but I suspect they'll still be around after everyone has switched to EV's .

my prediction is the tariffs will once again be cancelled at the last second
either a legal challenge or pressure from his own people

it's really fun that Trump doesn't like the deals he negotiated himself

I watched the signing of the executive order.
Let's do the math one year from now, but to me, it's like watching someone jump from a 50 story building, so far so good, but we all know what the result is going to be.

OMG yes! Blame JT for everything (eye roll here), he may not be the brightest button in the box, BUT HE IS NOT THE GRAND CHEETO!!! I would rather have him in charge than the child that sits in his highchair south of the border!!

Trump, making Americans pay an extra 25% for the foreseeable future. Sounds about right for a wealthy dictator to not give 2 *bleep* what things cost his people. The US can't just fire up a bunch of smelters that don't exist. They don't have the raw materials either.

anyone who considers that it is treasonous to get rid of 70% taxes, a globalist govt and become a part of a prosperous venture is an idiot.

They pay more than us tariffs. I give it 3-6 months, maybe a year... civil war down there. We stand strong as Canadians and withstand the absolute chaos going on.
