All good.
I deal with foreign trade affairs, been to DC a few times over the years. Parents go every year. Lot of direct involvement with secretary of AG.
Tariffs are a tool for building local economies.
Increase efficiency in homeland food supply.

It’s not surprising at all, my commodities will gain value and local prices will drop just like last time he implemented tariffs.

He’s a smarter businessman than
Drop prices? Yeah right. You actually think an importer is not going to pass that price increase on to the end consumer? That’s funny. Look up the net result of trumps tariffs, it was a huge tax increase.

People aren’t buying sleds this spring because a good portion of the winter sucked and people didn’t ride much.

Tariffs encourage local trade and more efficient in area pricing.

Look up your own skirt.

Tariffs are good for homeland businesses and consumers.

You probably should forget about snowmobiles and start thinking about a stable and safe food supply, Have any of you ever heard of dairy cattle getting avian flu symptoms ? Also, what about the disease that our new foreign friends are bringing to us free of tariffs? Just a thought. Of course, we do need something to put in our muffpots.

You are both correct, trump didn’t help Canada.

I wish Canada would get off the liberal bandwagon and just allow progress so we don’t have to rely on exporting our products.

He’s not talking about Canada, he’s talking about us regretting it when we see the damage from tariffs.

Also incorrect. I know of specific agreements with potato and grain trade that benefited Canadian farmers. Increasing farm profits boosts quality of life for everyone in those areas through jobs and farm supply incomes.

I am pretty sure he is, but I could be mistaken.

This has happened in the past, trump started a trade war and Canada got caught in it, in 2018, yes not all commodities got nailed with trumps tariffs, but most major commodities did, it was called the commodity credit corporation, that trump used to help the farmers.
I loved his “America First” thoughs, I feel my own country could adopt the same, but he took it a tad too far. He threatened to get rid of NAFTA, and it could have led to tariffs imposed of products exported from the US.

When elected politicians talk like the people who rounded up the farmers who knew what they were doing because they were "greedy" and didn't meet their quotas, let alone "re-imagining" our food supply, "famine" suddenly doesn't seem so confined to the history books. We're so dependent on foreign manufacturing that if we were cut off, millions would die in a month or two (think medications), and it'd take decades to recover economically. Trade is good to a point, but we need some economic and industrial base or we're dead vulnerable - tariffs aren't a perfect tool, but maybe a necessary one. Also, that's where the federal government got most of its funding early in our history... I'm fine with paying more for a sled, or for parts, if that's what it takes. In fact, I'm happy to do so if it means money going to American jobs instead sweat shops in communist countries.
