Trade Deficit hit $64 billion a year with Canada -- that just ended

What Canada Has Been Doing to American Farmers for Fifty Years

The numbers got so bad that by 2023, the goods deficit hit $64 billion – the worst it had been since the George W. Bush years. And Canada's weapon of choice has been the tariff. Trump called out the dairy tariff specifically, and here's what that actually looks like in practice.

Canada built a wall around its dairy market in the 1970s to protect Canadian producers, then designed a quota system so restrictive that American farmers can't get anywhere near the cap that would let them compete.

American auto workers in Michigan and Ohio built their careers on an industry Canada has been quietly undercutting for twenty years – protecting its own market with tariffs while demanding open access to ours. "Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week." Fifty percent tariffs hit at midnight.

Carney's response was to call it a "miscalculation" – then announce dollar-for-dollar retaliation starting September 8.

He also told reporters Canada was "at war" with the United States. A country that has extracted sixty billion dollars a year from American workers just declared itself a victim.

That ends now.

Canada is disgusting and they are so woke now too I just can't stand them anymore the fact that they like to push so much abortion and euthanasia is one thing it's really despicable and they need our prayers. But now to not allow their journalist to say that 9/11 was a terrorist attack on the United States that is absolutely so despicable and they're just so woke cowering to their Muslim base which has taken over Canada like in the United Kingdom they're just so disgusting I can't stand them anymore I think we should sever all ties with Canada all together they really are such slaves for Satan and such evil evil people just so unfair! And then every other word is the f word from their mouths if you know any Canadians that's how they speak they're so filthy mouthed!

It seems the only friends Trump has are The Saudis' and North Korea.

@7:11pm...you really know nothing. North Korea is an enemy. The United States has formal diplomatic relations with around 190 countries, meaning most of the world is on friendly or neutral terms, though the U.S. has formal defense alliances with a smaller, core group. "Friendship" changes constantly based on elections, trade deals, and global conflicts.
