Tariffs have never worked when broadly applied.
Btw here is a post with a clip from what Carney said: https://www.threads.com/@team_canada_forever/post/DNq05s-y7XE That’s exactly what I was mentioning in my earlier comment about CUSMA we have the best deal. Let’s stand down on the tariffs and not jeopardize that. We Canadians can still do a lot of harm to them and we have. The gov can’t stop us and the gov can’t be nailed for that in the negotiations.
Corporations won’t stop if they don’t want to. Why? They pass on the cost to the consumer anyways.
If we have to drop the tariffs on CUSMA products to have any chance that the USA isn’t dropping out I am good with that. CUSMA is a great deal in today’s world and unless the USA drops it it’ll be good until 2036. Let’s take that.
I think Carney is just smart. Trump liking him is good for us. We can still do our part. I am done with the USA and so are many Canadians. Our gov can play nice (called diplomacy) while we boycott the hell out of them. Win-win
You know this wouldn’t ever be a mandate anywhere if we just make commute part of the work hours. Not even paying for parking, gas or transit. Just the time. All companies would immediately back down and order you to wfh.
Great tip. Lots of good local stuff out there!!
I said it on Mastodon already: there are so many better choices out there. Incl. Canadian like Putters, Mike & Steve’s and Brine Co. My fav is German called Knax from. Hengstenberg. Luckily our local coop (Calgary) has huge jars what are quite reasonably priced for an import.
Did he write his MP about this?
And for once the little guy gets the bigger %
Smoke deficit!! Oh no! Pay up Canadians!
Honestly I would defend myself first and then sort the legal shit out later. You can’t be thinking about legal or not while defending yourself or you won’t make it.
