American here.
Help.
Do what you can to crash the American economy, IDGAF. I don't know, grasping at straws.
Adopt me?
Help turn the entire world against America? Whatever it takes.
Canada is not going to damage the American. 74.5% of Canadian exports and 56.2% of imports are with the US. On the other hand Canada makes up 14% of US imports and 15.8% of exports.
If any plan killed the American economy every one else is going down too.
Copypasta my other comment:
The bulk of Canadian exports to the US are oil. We can certainly tariff US goods, but export tariffs on Canadian oil and hydro electricity to the US will probably be a big component of the Canadian response.
Even with a big increase on hydro power exports to the US, it's still cheaper than most other sources of electricity, so they'll still happily pay it.
As to oil, there are some refineries in the US that are set up to process Canadian bitumen. Canada's long history of just exporting raw materials and re-importing finished goods give a pretty outsized room to manuever here. This refineries will probably just pony up and pay more.
Where the damage will come is in areas like the auto sector, where there are tightly coupled supply chains.
Paul Krugman points out in his article The End of North America that there is probably already damage done to the concept of North American manufacturing.
Trump is going to do a whole lot of damage, we're going to take some of that damage, but my favourite quote on the topic:
no one wins trade wars, but the kid who never stands up for himself always loses and for a long time
Again, desperate, maybe the world needs a reset?
I don't know. I don't want anyone to suffer or hurt, but at this point it seems inevitable.
So how do we mitigate the suffering and pain, but still create progress and block fascism?
How do we Luigi but not have it be a slippery slope?
You guys in canada should 100% support retaliatory tariffs. Fire them at us as hard as you can. Make us a pariah.
We fucked around. We should find out. We couldnt learn from round one of trump. We couldnt learn from watching the train wreck that was brexit. If you dont quid pro quo. If you capitulate. We will not learn our lesson.
Teach us and do not make our mistakes.
Well thought out TARGETED tariffs. Tariffs generally hurt us all. Us being the 99%. Stupid general tariffs benefit the 1% who can buy up the mess made from tanking the economy. Also, TransplantedSconie makes some great points
I think americans, or at least american conservatives, are too stupid to learn.
I was just reading about a conservative tax plan in Kansas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment ) that by pretty much all metrics failed. Yet somehow they aren't run out of town.
I'm boycotting all American goods and services. No more Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Disney (Never did go to Walmart). Going to be looking elsewhere for these things now.
I saw this image being passed around online. As an American I can't comment on the accuracy of it, but hopefully it or similar lists help in your search.
Start taxing the fuck out of u.s. automakers
Iβm hoping for 100% tariffs on US Teslas and removing the current tariffs on Chinese EVs.
Carefully thought out trade with China would completely undercut and undermine the US, especially if other countries join. I agree and hopefully it becomes a trend. America is a great country but it's not more important than the world.
Man, cheeto is in a rush to speed run to the find out stage...
I demand puts retaliatory taxes to the US, let them suffer
Markets gonna lose 10,000 points on open
I hope so. That would be a nice fucking wake-up call to the orange traitor shitcuntβs moron supporters.
Renegotiate so that these products go elsewhere for the next 4 years.
As an American, I am SO SORRY Canadian friends. We don't deserve this.
