Well, no one ever accused the American government of being smart…
This is what happens when your trade policy amounts to raw extortion.
Fuck em. They don’t want negotiation, they want capitulation.
We need to smarten up and support our government playing hardball but we’re still being wishy-washy with our support. Lines out the door to get the last bottles of JD? F off. Travel is only down 30%? F off. Stop selling our country to the US one amazon purchase at a time. It will hurt, but it is necessary if you don’t want to become amerikkkun.
Blanket punitive tariffs double whatever the US implements. Want our aluminum, wood and oil? Cut the BS. We’re already recovering by increasing ties, both militarily and economically with the EU.
They can keep their hormone and antibiotic infected milk and shitty whisky.
As for netflix, eat my ass. We promote our own art up here. I want more Canadian artists on my playlists. What do they expect us to do? Watch those stupid American superhero movies? Fuck that shit.
Serious question, what hormones are in the milk? I don’t think I have ever seen a jug of milk without a label saying that it was free of growth hormones. Even Walmart milk has the rBST-free label.
Edit: ok I learned that while it is illegal to produce milk using rBST in Canada, it is not illegal to import milk into Canada that was produced with rBST. Check your labels folks.
What the US wants from Canada: everything. What Canada wants from the US: for them to fuck off.
I know which of those two I think will win out in the long haul.
The next time Canada dumps a bunch of milk in a ditch to control prices they should film it to show the trump administration.
I can boycott U.S. dairy as easily as I boycott every other U.S. product.
They can always technically meet requirements while still having the same end result. For instance, US products are on a shelf with a warning sign. Or they’re locked up and you need to find an employee to get it for you. Or they’re simply overpriced to the point where no one would want it.
