Today is July 31st. On August 1st if Canada doesn’t do a deal with Diaper Donnie, he’ll put some horrible tariffs in place against Canadian goods being imported by Americans into America.
Ooooh, we’re shaking in our boots up here. This is somewhere around the fifth deadline this year from The American Pedo-In-Chief, all of which suddenly get extended, or don’t exist anymore. Last night The Grifter, Serial Bankrupt and Pussy Grabber was annoyed that Canada was willing to recognize Palestine as a state at the UN. So he said there wouldn’t be a deal and has also said that Canada is ‘nasty’ to deal with.
Canadians have heard all this crap before and we don’t take kindly to it. Canadians have retaliated with Elbows Up. Canada to US tourism has dropped by 40%, representing an estimated $12 Billion in lost revenue to the US. Grocery products in Canadian stores have slipped by one estimate, 18% of sales. Consumers actively go out of their way to, often, turning US products upside down on the shelves, or going outside to farm gate markets to buy local, Canadian products, or at least not American products, shopping other countries, like Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica and so on.
Then there is the problems US producers are having: Tariffs imposed by Washington have caused Wal-Mart to raise prices on several hundred products that either are imported, or use imported materials in their manufacture. Ford and General Motors have both said their prices are going up anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 per unit because parts that make up a vehicle cross borders all the time and the tariffs get applied all over the place.
A good example of Shit-For-Brains not knowing which hole to put it in, is Aluminum. The entire United States of America produces about 600,000 tons of aluminum every year. Cans, cars and aircraft, aside from foil for QAnon Tin Hats are all made with aluminum. Quebec by itself, produces 4,000,000 million tons a year and a lot of it is super-high purity aerospace grade aluminum. Go ask Lockheed where they get the metal for the F-35: It ain’t re-melted Pabst Blue Ribbon Cans.
Electricity is another irritant for The Beauty Pageant Inspector: Most of New York State, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois get their electricity from Quebec and Ontario. Oil? Canada exports about 4 Million Barrels a day to the US. The US can’t even refine their own “drill baby drill’ oil because it is high-sulfur fracking crude that the US doesn’t have refineries able to refine.
Which is why the media coverage of the mythical deadline of tomorrow for a ‘deal’ is a yawn up here. The EU cut a deal last week, which says nothing, is not binding, has no legal status and costs the EU nothing. The Japanese Trade Deal with Mushroom Dick is not even an Memorandum of Understanding, has no enforcement mechanism and does not send a half-billion dollars to the US, despite what he says. The same is true with the groundbreaking deals with Myanmar, Cote d’Ivorie, Ghana and Peru. In fact Ghana a fair-sized chocolate producer is raising their prices significantly for the product, so Hershey’s can go suck it and raise their prices.
It is all smoke and mirrors as the Orange Taint-Stain tries to distract from Epstein and from his failures on the home front. Like rebuilding with FEMA after floods and hurricanes have decimated the US housing construction industry. Masked men in ICE vests kidnapping citizens off the streets. Calling opponents scum (Gavin NewScum) or having his surrogates tell everyone that there is so much prosperity that they can’t even handle it, as well as the six wars that Bone Spurs has personally stopped. Except Ukraine, let’s not talk about that.
Really, it’s Thursday Afternoon. Canada does not care. Same Shit, Different Day and TACO Don won’t do jack. And if he does, well, #FAFO, which is Fuck Around and Find Out.
