WestCanMan Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 16 minutes ago, Aristides said: After WW2 the US emerged as the richest country in the world where the rest of the world had its industries and economies devastated by WW2. The rest of the world has since recovered and the 50's aren't coming back no matter how much Americans (or Canadians) may yearn for them. So maybe all the tariffs on the US have served their purpose then... China, Japan, Korea, England, Germany, etc have all had 80 years to rebuild, and it's no longer fair to have tariffs set so high that American cars can never be sold in Europe and Japan, while their cars are all over the US. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

It is interesting that the useful idjits that cried about coal until we started shipping it all the way to China are suddenly carving the Dems' logo onto Tesla's... Why do the actions of leftists always seem to align with China's interests? Leftists also insisted that we allow people to fly in from Wuhan during the pandemic, and that we would all pretend that there was no real chance that covid came from the covid lab.

herbie Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 OMG! The Europeans aren't buying F350 4x4s because of tariffs! I always thought it was because they had trains and trams, public transit, the roads were too small, and the price of gas was much, much more. Drop the tariffs and they rush to buy cars that cost 50 euros to go 100 km.... 2 Quote

Hmmm, let me think Quote TBH, he's dishonouring the terms his own USMC trade deal. And completely unnecessarily. We were scheduled to renegotiate that anyway, Canada would have been happy to step up those negotiations early and come to a negotiated settlement. Instead we've got this mess. I still like a lot of trump's thoughts, he's definitely still better than Kamala would be as you would never have known who the real power behind the throne was and they would never have been accountable, but his trade war nonsense is just absolutely the last thing that America needs right now 1 Quote
Aristides Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 (edited) 40% of Harley Davidson production is sold outside the US. Europe and Asia are its biggest export markets, Canada is their third biggest. Wonder how reciprocal tariffs will affect their sales. Edited April 9 by Aristides Quote
herbie Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 F*ck these ppl are retarded. Now saving money on what you buy and sticking to contracts you negotiate are 'extreme leftist' ideas, If country A is mostly rice paddies and country B is mostly wheat fields. trading each other is 'evil globalism'. As are the threats if you don't move the robots that make chips here we'll tariff you and all those dumb enough to think we're making jobs for them and not robots will agree. 2 Quote

Sadly, people who bought into the anti-vaccine hype are now burying their children in Texas. It seems almost unthinkable that in 21st century America children are dying of easily preventable diseases again, but that's the reality.

Thanks for the drivel session, Hodad. Quote The internet has given dumb (and malicious) people a powerful platform for misinformation You know that's you, right? Do you understand that the jab did not prevent you from giving covid to granny? Do you understand that the granny still needed to fear covid, because the jab didn't prevent her from getting sick? Hospitalized? Ending up in ICU? Dying? Do you understand that the covid jabs were not safe? Do you understand the sheer magnitude of the difference between the efficacy of the covid "vaccine" and actual vaccines, like we got for small pox, TB, polio, etc? The word vaccine has become synonymous with snake oil now, and dishonest people like you are the only reason that happened. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Do you understand the difference between viral vaccines and the bacterial vaccines you believe are "actual vaccines"? Viruses MUTATE much faster than bacteria. They are BOTH vaccines, that DEPEND on YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. Granny is old and her immune system is only 50% as good as when she was young. Vaccines REDUCE contagion, but if Granny's immune system is shot, no vaccine will work. The thing is, you have ZERO understanding about how vaccines work.

Since the late 1940s, the world has largely reduced tariffs - and barriers to trade. Ronald Reagan said famously: "Tear down this wall!" ===== I am surprised to see my fellow Canadians oppose a president who wants to impose tariffs, barriers. Turner and Atwood once argued that free trade would destroy their Canada. Trump wants to impose tariffs, barriers: push Canada away from America - and the same Canadians oppose Trump!
