How much does Canada tariff us? I bet it’s a lot.[/quote]

All tariffs imposed by Canada or Mexico (Prior to January 20, 2025) are established by the USMCA.  That is the trade agreement negotiated and signed by Don "The Con" Trump after he withdrew from NAFTA.

What do we glean from this?  Only what we have forever known.  If a Trump gives you their word, they just handed you a pile of sh*t.[/quote]

??? Why the distraction?

How much does Canada tariff the USA?

What are the numbers? And why do they refuse to have free trade?[/quote]

Canadian here. Why does the US spend billions in agricultural subsidies to farmers, which impacts the price of exports? Why can't the US have free trade?[/quote]

I think all countries with Farms subsidize farmers for national (and world) security. The land needs to be profitable in droughts and market disruptions so it remains arable and maintains its ability to feed the populations along with the means/systems of food production being maintained.

A honest breakdown of all these tariffs/vat taxes/regulatory impediments/currency manipulation and subsidies would be helpful.

Trump is totally right about one thing…Tariffs on the worlds largest consumer market is an unbelievably awesome tool. When China pulls its currency manipulation / dumping tricks you just raise the tariff 10 percent. When they stop you lower the tariff. You can adjust them instantly [/quote]

What a bunch of Bullsh#t. Trump is just punishing Canada. To think or say that Trump is doing this as some type of policy for better economic gains is idiotic. [/quote]

It’s to return our manufacturing base for a real tax base and trade balance.  The USA economy is a basket case with the highest debt, deficit and trade deficit in the world by an exponential amount. When we were awarded the reserve currency we had the biggest surpluses in all those areas.  We even import defense needs from China. The country is weak at its core and Trump is working on fixing it.[/quote] What are you talking about?? You think taxing Canada, our friendly neighbor, will fix our economy? Maybe take away tax cuts from the billionaires...[/quote]

They tax us. We pay for their defense they use the savings for free healthcare and maternity leave.

We need the money back [/quote]

What the....?

Explain, please.  [/quote]
