First of all, Mitch and I are helping society by curing TDS wherever we encounter it. We help the unhinged as challenging as that might be in some cases. We consider it an act of good will and would never charge anyone to help them. Yourself included.

Foxconn bailed on that project because Trump didn't win the election so they continued to screw the US knowing that Biden would not stand up to them and continue to get screwed on trade.

Things will be different this term and you'll see more and more companies setting up factories in the US over the next few years.

Stop focusing on the short game. It makes you look silly.
Exactly, conned by a conman. :ROFLMAO:

Bu bu bu It will be different this time. :ROFLMAO:

Mitch, give me a laugh.

"After speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement. This Agreement is until April 2nd. I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum. Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border, both in terms of stopping Illegal Aliens from entering the United States and, likewise, stopping Fentanyl. Thank you to President Sheinbaum for your hard work and cooperation!"- Trump

I have a feeling Trump might temporarily pause tariffs here to allow the liberal leadership to go on as planned Sunday and give the new PM a chance to call an immediate Federal election.
Folds again.

It appears you like USA to interfere in Canada's elections
It appears that Trudeau needs to piss off after he quit, and call an election.
If Trump is indirectly speeding up that process, then good on him

Trump said today that he would allow both Mexico and Canada to avoid most tariffs to the U.S. for one month, saying he would exempt products that are traded under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the trade pact he signed during his first term.

What a lunatic! I feel bad for the investors and businesses that are getting whip-sawed by his unpredictable changes of mind.

I imagine the stock market plunges are part of the issue for him, not to mention the many American businesses that are complaining about the effect the tariffs will have on them...

At the end of the day, this is the most likely reason he is doing it. As president, he can move the market up or down 5-10 points a day. Sell on joe biden's peak, announce tariffs, buy back in, remove tariffs, sell, repeat. Him and his billionaire cabinet laugh all the way to the oligarchy.

Ontario sells the US $1.3 billion in electricity every year.
So a 25% increase should put an extra $325 million in our coffers 👌

Tariffs... No tariffs... Tariffs... No Tariffs... Tariffs... No tariffs...

One thing's for sure, just about everyone in business thinks he's an idiot. Well, everyone except Elon, whose Tesla stock is down 30% in the last month alone.

If Trump tariffs go through on April 2nd then Doug Ford has said he'll raise the electricity tariff up to 50% 😂

I'm actually starting to enjoy this trade war :cool:

I just hope Trudeau and Ford don't back off their stated retaliation policies.

Gotta keep the pressure on!
My biggest complaint is Trudeau waited too long to publicly push back at Trump. If it wasn't for Ford stepping up who knows where we'd be right now.

These points should have been driven in back in January.

Mitchy Laugh.

The reason Trump backed down (again) is not because he's doing it out of the kindness of his heart. It's because tariffs are a horrible idea economically. They're bad for the stock market, bad for jobs, bad for inflation. There's republicans who are going to the WH and telling Trump it will be a disaster for manufacturing, farmers and all sorts of other businesses. So he paused them for another month. He had no choice.

If tariffs are such a good idea, why did he pause them, twice?

Man Danielle Smith is such a traitorous cunt. She was asked about export tariffs and she said no. Then they asked what if ALL the money went from export tariffs to the Alberta treasury to distribute as it sees fit. STILL NO. Nasty back stabbing cunt. I hope Carny comes in as Capt Alberta and shoves it down her throat.
