Carney government quietly dropped more U.S. counter-tariffs than advertised | CBC News

The federal government quietly removed more counter-tariffs on American goods than initially advertised, according to an order-in-council published online. 

The notice published last month indicates that, with the exception of sectoral tariffs for the steel, aluminum and auto industries, all Canadian retaliatory tariffs have been removed — in apparent contradiction to what the prime minister had said about the decision.

 

So he lied.  Again. 

Elbows down, pants as well. He might as well wear a dog collar with a gold pin of trump on it.

Yes but he's trotting around the world having meetings to sign resolutions to have talks about signing resolutions.

Those resolutions will be to consider the prospects of doing things to enable us to do more things with the prospect of possible outcomes that enable things to possibly get done.

All of this can be unburdened by what has been, as the great Bard said...

"friends Romans countrymen, lend me you money to buy some outrageous fortune".

On top of it all, every canadian will be given the chance to guess which shell the pea is under and if you guess right you get a modular home and a tim horton's card!  (land extra, some restrictions may apply, cheques will not be honored) 

 (pro tip -  there is no pea)

It appears numbers coming out tomorrow should indicate Canada will dodge a recession that was predicted due to Trump's tariffs. I suspect higher prices to pay them would definitely have pushed us into one.

Remember, tariffs are a tax paid by us to our government. Kudos to the Liberals for not availing themselves of it.

[eyeball]

In the meantime Canadians are pulling all sorts of weight on their own and kicking Uncle Sam below the belt with boycotts.

The government should spend some effort highlighting that, thanking Canadians for all the elbow grease and encourage more of the same.

Huzzah!

You’d think Carney would have known that when he promised retaliatory tariffs.   Regardless, Carney will push us into recession next year.

In the meantime Carney is paying China a billion dollars to build boats for BC, while China still has massive tariffs on Canadian goods.  Huzzah!

He probably had to lie to get elected I guess. It's what politicians do.

I was the first one who actually pointed out his very first official lie around here.

We have massive tariffs on China too. And as you well know by now or should, I was preaching no truck nor trade with China way back when Argus was. Decades ago.

No truck nor trade with China...Ring a bell? You would usually respond by asking why I hate capitalism or something.

Anyways we're still dodging a recession and apparently you'd like to be paying more taxes.

Thanks for the new boats btw.

You've never been terribly concerned about it before.  And if you were it was harper's fault  

The problem is manipulating those numbers isn't very hard, and the difference between 'legal' and 'interference' would be pretty blurred.

So, Carney removes more tariffs. That is a good thing. You should be aware tariffs a e a tax on us, Canadian consumers. Removal is the right thing to do.

Why should we pay tariffs for things we need? Removing tariffs make things cheaper for us.

Or do you not like the idea of making things cheaper for Canadians?

Clearly, once again, you have no idea of what you are talking about.

The Federal government had nothing to do with the BC ferry contract or decision. Furthermore, when request for proposals went out, there was no Canadian company that even requested the documents to make a bid. Only foreign companies bid and guess what? A foreign company won the bid. The BC government made all the choices and decisions.

China has retaliatory tariffs on goods as we put 100% tariff on Chinese EV's first.

"On October 1, 2024, the Canadian government imposed a 100 percent tariff on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China, followed by a 25 percent tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum two weeks later."

Also, Mr Harper sold all our oil companies to China LOL

That's not the problem. The problem is he lied. 

He claimed one thing in public. But... in reality the truth was different. 

I realize that as a liberal supporter lies don't matter to you but they do to others

He lied about it and mislead the public.  And he did so because he was bending the knee to trump but didn't want to LOOK like he was. 

That is a BAD thing. 

IF removing the tariffs was a GOOD thing..... why wasn't he up front and honest about it?

[herbie]

Amazing how the deranged can claim the fact you won't have to pay more for something is a failure.

I'm so glad I'm not overwhelmed and wallowing in constant negativity. Probably why I'll never be a good Cant-servative....

You do know that tariffs accomplish a lot more than just rise prices on consumers...in this case they force Canadians to find cheaper products elsewhere meaning US producers are losing out on sales, no sales and no income...Not all Canadians are boycotting made in the US...now they would be forced...

There is no problem. He eliminated tariffs and the cost to us is less.

If that constitutes a lie to you, well, to me it is a good one. Anything hat lowers my costs is very acceptable.

Why was he not up front? Well, he was. He cut some. He informed us that ones affecting CUSMA would not change and then he had reasons to examine others and cut the ones that are best for Canadians.

One last thing, what makes you think you are entitled to know what goes on behind closed doors and what future plans are??? No one, no organization, no company, no negotiator tells the public what is being negotiated.

He lied. I know you don't think that's a problem but he out and out lied and that is a problem for everyone who isn't a mindless zombie dedicated to the liberal cause.

It's pretty obvious that you have no honor and lying is absolutely no problem for you in the slightest. But for many Canadians they won't appreciate that and it will be a problem

[herbie]

I went to my friend;s and there was a washout. Had to take a detour, so by your definition I must have LIED about things.
Just like I LIED about going out for lasagna and the calamari looked much more appetizing. Or how all the Allied plans LIED because they said June 5 and it didn't happen until June 6.

You promised you'd lay off the nyquil  

That makes absolutely no sense in the slightest.   If you tried to go to your friend, and couldn't' because of a wash out, and then told people you didn't because you forgot your wallet at home and THAT"S why.....   THAT would be similar. 

He told people he was doing one thing, and he was doing it for a specific reason. He lied, he did something else and it's obviously NOT for the same reason. 

Honestly, every single time i have to explain to you lefties that lying is bad it takes forever

Enough are boycotting that it's costing the US billions, much of which is being spent here instead.

So mount a public shaming campaign and target the traitors that refuse to get with the program.

Punishing everyone else by making them pay more and causing a recession as a result is nuts.

Look at you people, pleading to pay more taxes to Ottawa while it forces you to do things that just add more pain.

Am I supposed to believe you're humiliating yourselves like this over some sense that you were lied to - that you should have been kept in some loop? Grow up.

You're suggesting Carney should have told us and shown how everything was mapped out so he'd know exactly what to do months ago and that's all you've really got as far as constructive criticism goes? Get a grip.
