You really think the Chinese government pays the US treasury (what I was referring to when I said “you” in the previous post…) when the US imposes a tariff on Chinese goods. Really? You are seriously that misinformed? Amazing. CHINAs government PAYS NOTHING directly to the US treasury in this scenario. Nothing. Do I have to spell it out for you? The company or individual that brings the product into the country pays the tariff to the US government upon arrival. This is not difficult to figure out.No, dipshiz, they pay the US treasury. Do you have proof they are paying Trump directly? Or not paying? Or paying elsewhere? Show it!
It's all about your feelings when you live in a government funded gaslighting CBC news cycle?

Again, make the same item in the USA, avoid shipping and I'll pay the same or a bit more for it, AND we keep people employed in the USA.
Do we want to exploit cheap labor + shipping to get the same item or pay a tad more and keep our citizens employed and off unemployment.
So much more to it, but that's a start.
You can still stay TF out the USA and not enjoy the higher prices that are here vs the lower prices in your suckasscountryof canada, JTKWin-Win for all of us!

You aren’t paying “a tad more” to keep your people off unemployment. no one will build new iPhone factories in the USA. It’s complete fantasy. Who in their right mind would invest in manufacturing in the US right now when the rules might change in 5 minutes. Not to mention the decade or so it would take. And with raw materials purchased with a 25% tariff added (see above…)
I thought this was all based on an emergency that had to be addressed now, but 13 hours in it’s ok to wait 90 days? Sounds like a fake emergency to me.
Keep snorting the Cheeto dust….
You are actually believing this bullshit? Trump and carney spoke weeks ago and agreed to talk. Following Donny caving in yesterday carney reiterated that they would engage following our election, whoever wins. Read carneys statement without the twist added by your “source “. Personally I look forward to that, notice how Donny instantly shut up about the 51st state bullshit and “governor Trudeau” after they spoke? Because an Oxford PhD economist bitch slapped him.Canada spectacularly bends the knee to the U.S. as Trump scores major victory over the '51st state'

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney has backed down on his end of the trade war and agreed to negotiate 'immediately' on a new agreement in a victory for Donald Trump.
The president announced a 90-day pause on all new 'reciprocal' tariffs, in a major reversal which caused one of the biggest stock market rallies in history.
He did not spare China, however, instead slapping Beijing with yet another round of import taxes.
Carney, who has continued predecessor Justin Trudeau's antagonism since taking over as the leader of what Trump has referred to as the would be '51st state,' praised Trump for the move.
'The pause on reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump is a welcome reprieve for the global economy,' he said in a post to social media.
The Liberal Party leader added that he and Trump 'will commence negotiations on a new economic and security relationship immediately following the Federal election.'
On March 23, Carney dissolved parliament and called for a snap election to be held April 28, which he is currently favored to win.
He said that while Canada will negotiate with the US, Trump's signal that he will negotiate with several other countries means his nation will have to react similarly.

'In that context, Canada must also continue to deepen its relationships with trading partners that share our values, including the free and open exchange of goods, services, and ideas,' he wrote.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House for comment.
In March, Carney made his first speech as the incoming prime minister, and he wasted no time in attacking Trump.
Trump twice slapped across-the-board tariffs on Canada before his most recent pause.
Carney said he would keep retaliatory tariffs on the US 'until the Americans show us respect.'
'He's attacking Canadian families, workers, and businesses and we cannot let him succeed and we won't,' he told voters at the Liberal Party convention.
'In trade as in hockey, Canada will win.'
Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has argued Trump is trying to hurt Canada's economy to force it to become part of the United States.

It is currently a Commonwealth country, meaning it has an independent prime minister and Parliament but King Charles is its head of state.
Another theory is Trump is upset over failed Trump hotels in Toronto and Vancouver and is seeking revenge.
Others speculate its his antagonistic relationship with Trudeau that led to his desire to annex the country. Trump has repeatedly referred to the former PM as Governor Trudeau.
Trump also argues Canadians would benefit from lower taxes and secure borders as part of the U.S.
'To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. … It would be one of the great states anyway — this would be the most incredible country,' Trump said in the Oval Office on March 13.
'Visually, if you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago, and it makes no sense,' Trump continued, apparently referring to a 1908 treaty that settled the boundary between the U.S. and Canada.
'It's so perfect as a great and cherished state.'
Trump was forced to backtrack on his sweeping tariff plans because of a 'fire sale' in the bond market which could have triggered economic meltdown.
Alongside causing turmoil in the stock market, Trump's sweeping tariff plans sparked a major US government bonds sell-off, the likes of which had not been seen since the depths of the Covid-19 crisis.
Experts are saying that it was this, rather than simply the 'art of the deal,' which caused the White House to backtrack on its tariff proposals.
On Wednesday, the President announced a 90-day pause on all new 'reciprocal' tariffs, in a major reversal which caused one of the biggest stock market rallies in history.
He did not spare China, however, instead slapping Beijing with yet another round of import taxes.
The 'fire sale' in the bond market came to a head late on Tuesday and into Wednesday.
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed overnight above 4.51 percent, while the 30-year Treasury yield hit a high of 5.02 percent on Tuesday night, CNBC reported.
US government bonds have traditionally been seen as one of the world's safest assets, and as a place where investors can put their money in times of volatility.
But the sudden fall was one of the clearest signs yet that investors may be beginning to lose confidence in their safe haven status - and an indication of just how much the world's biggest economy was shaken by Trump's tariff plans.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent insisted that the decision to delay tariffs was driven by 'the president's strategy', rather than the shocking rise in bond yields.
'He and I had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy all along,' he told reporters outside the White House on Wednesday.
But Trump himself said he was watching the bond market closely as he decided to implement the pause. 'The bond market right now is beautiful,' Trump told reporters.
'I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.'

You are really willing to die on that hill? You’re stupider than I thought. Google “who pays tariffs?”. Or is that too hard for you? The first thing that comes up is “the importing company-not the foreign government-pays the tariff to the government imposing the tariff. But I learned that about 40 years ago in grade school…you must have been sick that day.Show your accounting proof or stfu.
You would've been better choosing the stfu.You are really willing to die on that hill? You’re stupider than I thought. Google “who pays tariffs?”. Or is that too hard for you?

When Polaris buys electronic parts from a Chinese manufacturer (and they do) the Chinese manufacturer will not be the one paying the tariff that the US imposes. Polaris or the customs broker that they employ will pay the tariff to the US government when the goods clear customs. That will make Polaris’s cost higher. Polaris will not eat that cost so the cost of a new 9r next fall will increase accordinglyYou would've been better choosing the stfu.
In this specimen, notice the word "they" - not your assumed word of Chinese Government. "they" in this context is a company in a foreign country.

Do you want me to use it in a sentence for you?
Then make the electronic parts in a US based factory which creates jobs for US citizens and pay no field leveling tariff.When Polaris buys electronic parts from a Chinese manufacturer (and they do) the Chinese manufacturer will not be the one paying the tariff that the US imposes.

Or buy the parts on the international market, keep the end cost low, sell more sleds in the states and create way more jobs like assembly, shipping, sales, service, rental operations, aftermarket goodies, snowmobiling magazines/websites, etc. The number of jobs in the actual manufacturing process is quite low, and with automation will only be lower. This is a zero sum game your dear leader is playing, it’s not 1955 anymore. All of this bullshit about manufacturing jobs is actually about a very small number of jobs vs the rest of the economy. The government Forcing people to buy from only one source and cutting off access to the free market is something that North Korea would do, not the USA. And you cucks are so brainwashed that you just bend over and take it.Then make the electronic parts in a US based factory which creates jobs for US citizens and pay no field leveling tariff.
Problem solved.
How much higher is the question. Ultimately either the tariff is worth paying (to MFG in the foreign country) to save the money of said electrical part(s) vs domestically manufactured, or it's not. That's before anyone can make the assumption that Polaris will absorb the cost in a $14-20k sled.
Either a company's overall business plan is viable, or it's not - as Arctic Cat found out.
Using exploitative slave labor abroad to save money isn't really ethical either. Most CEO's and Politicians don't want to talk about that though, unless their pockets get greased.
I've got a couple of industrial sewing machines too, just a cool hobby though.
Yeah, whatever man. It's a negotiation.Or buy the parts on the international market, keep the end cost low, sell more sleds in the states and create way more jobs like assembly, shipping, sales, service, rental operations, aftermarket goodies, snowmobiling magazines/websites, etc. The number of jobs in the actual manufacturing process is quite low, and with automation will only be lower.

Not to mention, which company is stupid enough to invest in US manufacturing when your dear leader might just change his mind tomorrow? Even full bore, it’s 3-5 years minimum to get any form of large scale manufacturing set up. Can the US population sustain paying these tariff rates that long? Not a chance. Companies know this will sink the GOP. They will wait it out.
That’s not siding with China, that’s reality. You support spray tans tariffs, you support the complete economic collapse of the USA. This will not work . Even saint Reagan warned against tariffs for these exact reasons. But you don’t understand who even pays them so what’s the point?
