When should America lift tariff on Norther America?

Not sure they had a long enough time out but Canada is feeling the pressure of their 18 months separation from America. Sliding into recession. Hopefully, this becomes a lesson learned to do as told and quit snorting that Chinesium.

Just wait till the maple syrup comes in this year.

Actually, even more tariffs are being threatened by our deranged neighbours, allegedly because of forced labour products creating an uneven playing field:

Quote

The US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, said: “The failure of our most important trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labor is unacceptable. This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an unlevel playing field. We will no longer tolerate this disparity.”

 

Trump threatens tariffs on 60 trading partners including UK and Canada over ‘forced labour’

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jun/03/trump-threatens-tariffs-60-countries-forced-labour

Proposal for 10-12.5% levies, to also include EU, Taiwan and Australia, would allow US president to skirt court-imposed limits

 

Is Mr Greer aware of the hundreds of thousands of undocumented workers in the US agriculture sector and the effect on the playing field they have?

We'll see. A lot of Americans have been suffering due to that trade war as well and I think if it's still going on by the midterms trump could wind up paying a significant price for it

Trump isn't on the ballot. You know this would be easier if you all just cry uncle and petition for statehood yeah?

Of course trump is on the ballot.  What  a mind meltingly stupid thing to say. He's going to be the main ballot box question. 

And worse he can lose big.  If the dems turn about 20 seats in the senate and even a couple in the house then there will be enough votes to actually impeach trump and the dems won't wait one single second before starting that process. 

Trump may well get tossed like a stale big mac long before his term ends if things don't go well for him in the midterms.

The thing that really highlights your stupidity is that if you knew ANYTHING.. no it wouldn't. 

Canada would basically vote about the same as California. Which means more senators and more reps most of whom would be happy to impeach trump.  And good luck getting a republican elected. 

Kid. if you knew half as much as you think you know, you'd still know twice as much as you actually know.

Americans wouldn’t be getting their milk without all the undocumented workers in that sector and yet Trump a) promises to send all these people home and b) demands that we accept more of this illegally-produced product.

Of course they would. Well it's a common belief on the left that it is necessary to maintain slave labor in the states to guarantee a food supply it's simply not true. After a time of adjustment it would cope just fine. We don't have hordes of illegal immigrant workers working for below minimum wage and we have milk. It's a crazy thing to say
