Canada has imposed 25% Tariff on $155 Billion of US Goods. Canada has taken off US made rum off the shelves in many provinces.
Great opportunity for the Caribbean to increase export of rum and other products to Canada.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the country will implement a “plan B,” which includes retaliatory tariffs, in response to US President Donald Trump’s imposition of a 25% duty on all imports from Mexico.

25% on 30B starting on Tuesday and the other 125B in 21 days time.

Not only rum, but all spirits on the LCBO shelves with a made in USA label will be gone. People on both sides of the divide will get hurt here especially those who are barely putting food on the table.

Facts:
1- outside of oil the USA has a trade surplus with Canada
2- the US gets oil from Canada at a deep discount
3- less than one percent of Fentanyl to the US comes from Canada
4- less than one percent of illegals to the US crosses over from Canada

Not sure what Trump is really talking about.

In response to U.S. tariffs, the following are the steps we will take.

First, Nova Scotia will limit access to provincial procurement for American businesses. We will look for opportunities to cancel existing contracts and will maintain the option to reject bids outright because of President Trump’s unlawful tariffs.

Second, the cost of tolls at the Cobequid Pass will double for commercial vehicles from the United States, effective February 3, 2025.

Finally, we will direct the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to remove all alcohol from the United States from their shelves effective February 4, 2025.

One of the reasons why the lights are not turned off in parts of US yet is because it would affect mostly democratic states.

Now we understand why Trump seems to be cozing up to Venezuela, and silly Venezuela taking In people who applying for asylum in US. Because it’s like Trump looking to find a cheaper oil and gas deal outside of Mexico and Canada. But the problem is that Canadian oil is most suitable for the type of product required for their energy consumption.

Relax, Yes this is serious but never mind the distractions of Tariffs or no Tariffs. Dotard moved it from Saturday now its Tuesday who knows, when Tuesday gets here it might be Wednesday. Worry about what did not make the news cycle. Trump pumping his crypto and Elon Musk attempting to get his hands on the Federal Government payment systems and was blocked by public servants-watch out for this one in the coming days. Yeah Tariffs are here but that's not the real deal that's a distraction for what is really going on

Peter Theil, Musk, Bezos, Zukerberg, even the fcukers at Google, are all salivating at the thought of another economic crash like 2008.
