US consumers will pay tariffs twice under Trump's new tariff plan.




The courts have told Trump admin to pay the illegal tariffs back and it will be to the corporations that paid the tariffs


Mar 3, 2026 #Tariffs #Trump #SupremeCourt
European and Canadian companies are receiving refund checks (with interest)… while U.S. consumers who ate the price hikes get nothing—and may now face a second inflation wave.

⚖️ The Federal Circuit rejected Trump’s request to pause tariff-refund proceedings, sending the case back to the Court of International Trade
💰 Up to $175B in potential refunds: corporate losses reversed, consumer losses permanent
🧾 How tariffs “paid at the border” became inflation at the checkout
🇪🇺🇨🇦 Why foreign firms can be refunded with interest—and why U.S. households can’t be repaid for higher prices
📈 The asymmetric unwind: corporations recover, consumers absorb the damage
🏛️ The Treasury problem: refund obligations create pressure for new revenue
🔁 The loop risk: new tariffs to fund old refunds → higher prices → more lawsuits → more refunds

This isn’t just a legal loss for Trump—it’s a case study in how modern systems distribute pain: diffuse costs stick to the public, concentrated benefits flow back to institutions.

Forever Canada petition in Alberta to stop the "separatists" exceeded expectations.

Today our signatures to keep Alberta part of Canada were delivered to Elections Alberta. Not only did we get our question approved by Elections Alberta before the separatists (not sure they have even got theirs through the court yet) but we had to go through the old rules before Dani decided to change them for the separatists; so instead of 175,000 signatures and 6 mos we had to obtain 279,000 in 3 mos. Each form had to be hand filled out and signed by an Albertan. Well today was the day to hand them in and we had over 456,000 signatures, approx 50% from Calgary and Edmonton and the other 50% from other areas of Alberta. It can now go to referendum.

Way to go Alberta, lets shut these assholes down!
