[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, we are "punishing" Canada for what reason?  And how is a tariff punishing Canada if we are the importer? Don't we end up paying for it?

Someone explain this to me like I'm 5.[/quote]

There is no logical explanation. Republicans point to fentanyl, but less than 1 percent of all fentanyl in the US comes in via Canada. Whereas nearly all the illegal fentanyl in Canada comes in from the US. Just today the Canadians arrested two Americans smuggling fentanyl into the country. So that explanation holds no water.

Every single day, the US and Canada do nearly $4 billion worth of trade. Every single day. That's more than a trillion every year. What's going to happen with the tariffs is catastrophic, particularly for Canada. As Buffet said, it's basically an act of war on Canada. And for what? This is a willful destruction of the entire North American economy. Republicans have become the party of pure nihilism. Canadians are united in their loathing for America right now. And Canada will do whatever it can to inflict maximum hurt on the US economy, particularly the red states. [/quote]

I think he wants puppet states like how Russia has Belarus. It won’t be the “51st state” because no way he wants those people voting.[/quote]
