In last half hour, plan is for 25% tariffs on everything, Saturday, with oil decided whether exempt or not, tonight.
Fentanyl was always BS. It is about extorting Canada to surrender sovereignty. Just on fentanyl, it is used in hospitals because it is cheapest opiate. The danger from it,overdosing, is exclusively over contaminating other drugs such that dose is too high. Not that US gives a shit, but making the hospital product the same potency as morpheine, or just going back to morpheine, would be a big step towards making it safer, because some illicit use comes from hospital supplies.
If they exempt oil we definitely need to slap a 25% export tax on it. Give the revenue to Alberta if that's what it takes. Get Mexico on board too.
It's just theater, it will cause massive problems to have tariffs on our land borders. Expect to see temporary reprieves as long as there is bribes or concessions. It's just a way to steal money and be corrupt.
Musk is happy to kill big 3 automakers. Can be goal here. Bribes to Trump is cheaper than responding to a supposedly temporary emergency with rushed expensive new US auto plants mothballing Canadian assets. If he doesn't take the bribes, because Musk bribed more, lawsuits are likely, or Michigan joining Canada is a better solution than a 25-50% price hike on big 3 autos.
You've got an interesting take on grammar, and you have me at a disadvantage. I'd love to understand what you just wrote in your first paragraph.
They had just reported the tariff news, and I was roleplaying a mix between ticker tape, telegraph and late night booty call texts from the 2000s.
