US buyers are technically importing potash to the USA, but the tariff is considered an export tariff because it’s leaving Canada. The tariff is on the buyer in the US.

Imagine being a heavy equipment operator, just mindlessly demolishing a national treasure.

…and in a few month realize you’re being stiffed on all the work you did.

Trump never pays his bills and in this case, I HOPE it happens.

Tariffs damage your own country. Not the enemy.

Read what I said. I said EXPORT tariffs. These are taxed at the border, by Canada, to the buyer exporting - IE; the farmers and supply chain in the US. These aren’t like Trump’s import tariffs but they have the same effect to Americans.

The only effect this would have on Canada is MAYBE some reduced sales, but US farmers don’t have a choice with this product. They literally can’t buy it from anywhere else in the numbers they need.

And yes, the design would be to cause even further damage to US farming because of Trump. It’s a huge power play Canada has. They want to reduce our added tax on potash? They need to drop or reduce tariffs on their end.

They are talking about going in someplace in a suit and asking for a job.

I’m GenX. In my entire working career over the years I’ve seen random people come in off the street, CV in hand, looking for a job not advertised. Not one of these people were ever hired.

Actually, now that I think of it. One guy was. My friend worked for a porn shop in the 80s that had video peep booths in the back. It was his job to clean these booths. A homeless guy came in looking for a handout and my friend hired him to clean the booths for a few bucks a day. Dude would come in every day and spend 10 minutes wiping spooge off the floor.

So I guess if you aspire to be a cum cleaner, this technique might work.

We pronounce it Katie.

I don’t think Americans have it in them to do a general strike. Too much apathy and cowardice.

Canada, Russia, Belarus and China are the major players in potash mining and production. The US doesn’t mine or produce any in a substantial number. The US has huge import tariffs on China, and can’t currently buy from either Russia or Belarus.

Canada needs to put a 50-70% export tariff on potash. That would crush US farming.

If Trump wants to play, let’s burn them to the ground. Here is your 51st state you cunt.

This shit just makes me roll my eyes. He’s a stupid 80 year old man baby.

I would love for a reporter to say “Mr Trump. You posted a video of you in a King costume dump fecal matter on American citizens. Do you see yourself as a king shitting on America?”

They will end up in camps. Mark my words.

I have zero sympathy for anyone in the states. Their bullshit American exceptionalism got them in this mess.

Red states, blue states? It doesn’t matter. All the states have been moving against the citizens and promoting the oligarchy. Now you’re sliding into a neo-fascist phase. You are all fucked.

I’m looking forward to one pulling apart MAGA-largo.

I don’t eat a ton of chips, but with the prices, I haven’t bought any name brand chips in over two years.

Be the gay you need. Once you get the gay it will spread and make more people get gay. Gay the fuck out of the place. Gay that mother fucking town up!

Presidents who can’t remember history tend to repeat themselves.

Just in time for the Christmas shopping season.

Why does Trump hate Jesus?

You know, I made almost this exact comment on reddit and they banned me for it. Funny.

You also forgot one major point, Canadians are nice until we aren’t. We’re mean mother fuckers in war time.

I wonder if he wrote that in the hotel cuck chair while Elon fucked his wife?

I feel the US is hitting boiling point and things are going to go entirely off the rails very soon. Canada will probably need to set up refugee and asylum centres.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. - George Orwell, 1984

That’s how I do.

If you blind me with super high beams, I need to slow down to be safe.
