@GottaLaff Feb 1, aka “the day after tomorrow”. The reckless speed of this is mind boggling. Both countries have retaliatory plans that will cripple small American exporters, and local American businesses will be hurt by the US tariffs. IDK much about the Mexican border, but I know that people and goods flow across the Canadian border all the time. Western NY and Southern Ontario are close to being an integrated economy. It’s madness. Literally.

@VirginiaHolloway It is. But not in his warped mind

@GottaLaff

Clicked on that and got the message that they have detected unusual activity from my computer network ...

As I'm not a regular visitor to Bloomberg they should not know what my usual activity is ...

@GottaLaff I feel bad for people who voted Democrat. As for MAGA, if people lose their jobs, homes, health insurance due to the likely impact of the tariffs, they won'y be high on my sympathy list. They can take it up with their Lord and Saviour Trump #TrumpTariffs

@Jgmeadows Canada better keep their own conservatives in check

@GottaLaff Smith in Alberta is trying her best to be a traitor to Canada by sucking up to Trump.

@Jgmeadows Not alone. PP, the other guy whose name just went out of my head... too many are

@GottaLaff PP is trying to lay low and likely play both sides behind the scenes. He hasn't had a whole lot to say the last few days, which is strange for him.

@Jgmeadows Well he worries me to death.

@Jgmeadows As long as he loses it, the cost of a federal election is a small price to pay to shut that pipsqueak up.

@GottaLaff

@zenheathen @GottaLaff Polling seems all over the place, but I think there may be some reason for optimism. I do expect a full court press from the Mainstream media to sanewash PP though.

@Jgmeadows @zenheathen Please don't discount Muskrat throwing himself into the works.

@GottaLaff @zenheathen He already has, by endorsing PP on Shitter.

@Jgmeadows @zenheathen Yes, that's what I'm talking about. He's inserting himself into Canada 's elections and it's concerning me a LOT

@GottaLaff @zenheathen There is no such thing as election he won't keep his stinking mitts of of.

@GottaLaff
If the Mexican Peso becomes increasingly devalued vs. the $USD, won't that further incentivize people in Mexico to want to be paid in $USD since their earnings will be *worth more* than the Peso?

And where will these $USD-paying employers be located?... In Mexico? 🧐 (no)

It would seem to me this action could INCREASE one of the Reward vs. Risk calculations migrants make... and in a manner contrary to his anti-immigrant position/policies.

He's so dumb 🤦‍♂️

@dustin @GottaLaff

Meanwhile BRICS member countries which represent over 40% of the world’s population are currently selling off much of their $USD reserves which will only weaken the value of the US dollar across the globe.

@GottaLaff
Buy Canadian, bye American 👋

@CanadianCrone @GottaLaff
Nice CC
I turned your suggestion into a text shortcut.

@caspercdn Hey, my line's making it around! I've got it up in fridge magnets now.

@CanadianCrone @GottaLaff

@caspercdn I'm sure I'm not the only one to come up with it, because it's just Right. There. Ya know? Probably not even the first, though I hadn't seen it before I said it. Now I find a way to work into IRL conversation daily. :) I would LOVE to see it really catch on.

@CanadianCrone @GottaLaff

@zenheathen @CanadianCrone @GottaLaff
Grocery stores first. It’s going to be tough but we get a lot of produce from Mexico.

@caspercdn An education campaign would go a long way. Learn more about what's in season, and how to eat healthfully and in season. Return of canning, pickling, drying, etc. Not to mention home and local food gardens!

@CanadianCrone @GottaLaff

@GottaLaff @lisamelton America, please enjoy your 25% increase in prices starting February 2nd for vehicles, machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers, electrical equipment, mineral fuels and oils, pearls, precious stones, plastics, pharmaceuticals, optical and photo apparatus, wood, iron and steel.
… from just Canada, not even including what Mexico exports. 🙂

@GottaLaff
That's why Mexico already has a new trade deal with the eu. They're taking their business elsewhere.

I am sure Canada will do the same.

@GottaLaff This is going to radically increase produce prices and further increase food deserts in metro areas. It is absolute madness. Report after report has said how devastating this will be to the economy. What the fuck are his handlers thinking? Part of me wants to believe it has to be Putin and Musk colluding to destroy America, but I’m pretty sure the GOP wants the same thing, so….

@MissConstrue I agree. But some will partially or fully cave because of the pressure... they'll make some deal or other.

I hope they don't.
