saying that Canada will be paying the tariffs. UhUh, idiot man. Why people voted for this embarassmanet is way beyond me. You are getting what you voted for. Higher costs along with a possible tax bill that will hust the lower income groups once it is signed into law. I hope it does not pass.

It is a provision in the NAFTA 2.0 that tRump negotiated and signed.

It'll be only so long he can restrain from self-sabotaging the economy for the sake of his ego.

Those tariffs are raising the cost of new construction.

US tourism is very weak because Canadians (and others) are boycotting travel to the US.

I could go on but don't have time to verify specifics.

Will he violate his NAFTA 2.0 treaty, which he has (belatedly) exempted so far?

They're running out of gray matter to consume, and what's left of his addled brain has turned to curdled pudding, so they're starving. And, much like him, they're probably high on whatever stimulants he's snorting these days.

his bunker buster failure. Why wait a week? What for? Everybody knows what he's doing.

I hate to say it, but I stand with Canada. They, apparently, now stand with the EU. Hope the Orange Rat Weasel got his jollies, because we're getting rid of him starting in 2026. Him and all his disgusting party.
