@Katt3jc1@ashatku Escalating tariffs between the U.S. and Canada place a 50% duty on raw chemical wood pulp and a 25% duty on finished toilet paper, threatening higher prices for consumers.
@Katt3jc1@ashatku Gonna go bit in higher in the food chain… you need potash for fertilizer to make the feed for the Chickens and cows. Roughly 30% of a standard American toilet paper roll relies on raw Canadian wood pulp exported in bulk.
@RColerlc@ashatku Replacing the 2.7 million metric tons of annual aluminum the United States imports from Canada requires more than 40 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity every year.
@DerekMondelli@krbcan@simon_cadieux@arjunswritings The USA still buys more from China than any other country in the world. The USA is also 40 trillion in debt. And how do you expect a country of 43 million to buy as much as a country that has 400 million. Of course the USA buys more.
@DerekMondelli@insanitgjd@arjunswritings Explain net loser? Why have access to anything Canada has? Since you don’t need anything like Uranium to power your nuclear plants or potash for your farmers or energy for your eastern seaboard or aluminum for cars. (Yes you import 50% from Canada) forgot critical minerals
