While we don't usually get into politics very much here on SnoWest, this one could have a VERY BIG IMPACT on anyone planning on purchasing a new Ski-Doo sled this season!​

Trump Vows 25% Levy For Canada, Mexico; Ramps Up Promised Tariffs On 'Drug-Pushing' China​

Monday, Nov 25, 2024 - 07:45 PM

In a statement on his Truth Social account, Trump swung the hammer against Mexico, Canada...

"As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before.

On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.

This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem.

We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!"

And they deserve it. More to this world than just sleds. What about your grandkids? My bet is both will change their tune and it will get worked out.

So be it.
It's not a problem when there are domestic non-tariffed options.
Furthermore, most 2025 sleds should be here before this would go into effect. More of a factor for the SeaDoos and moving forward for '26 sleds.

I'm thinking the tariffs will be used more as leverage and not actually be implemented.

Trudeau apparently called Trump within a few hours of his post all panicked and they had a “productive” call. Daily Wire was the source. My guess is it’ll all be worked out before Polaris employees start to party.

used prices will be strong if this happens.

Likely. That is the point of it all.

I have zero respect for queen Trudeau. You clowns need to run him off.

Could have a BIG IMPACT on SNOWCHECKS.

That would be the BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION!

I imagine Canadia & Mexico will comply and avoid said tariffs. If not, oh well. The price you pay when you choose not to build the product where your largest customer base is.

Tariffs are a valuable tool because it reminds other country’s how much they depend on our income stream. We can build it here.
They can’t sell our volume there.

It may cripple the weaker minded citizens choice of sled, but it strengthens everything else.

OUCH!!!!

Well you don’t have to dive into it Christopher.

 

[turboless terry]

Maybe that's the new 26 gen 6 christopher wanted. Bng with a 25% price increase.

 

[volcano buster]

That 25% will be tacked onto the black gold being railed across the border as well.

Honestly, for everyone's sake, I HOPE this doesn't come to pass and they are able to RESOLVE it before it begins!

 

[IDspud]

That 25 will be less than current admins curses have cost.
