@hamiltonchan @t_blom I experienced this first hand. Couldn’t stop talking about it.

@BowTiedYukon 70 years old and doesn’t have 1/10th of the brains that the Good Lord gave him.

@HillierMuppet @rn_fedup @RGBAtlantica @sarobertson_ It’s hardly certain Honda or Toyota will continue manufacturing in Ontario without tariff-free access the United States. They’ve said as much.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

CUSMA/USCMA was agreed to with built-in national security exemptions. Article XXI of the WTO confirms these.

Canada’s position (and their initiated WTO dispute) is that they should be able to determine the legitimacy of how the United States defines its own national security interests in issues of trade.

Good luck with that.

@HillierMuppet @rn_fedup @RGBAtlantica @sarobertson_ Steel, aluminum & autos are, in fact, CUSMA/USCMA goods.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@rn_fedup @RGBAtlantica @HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ Canada, as of today, still applies 25% tariffs on U.S. steel, aluminum and automobiles.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@poetsmom @HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ Well, they can raise prices but recovering all the lost revenue in the face of continued tariffs is hardly certain.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@poetsmom @HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ That is speculative at best. And IMO overly optimistic.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ Agreed on all points.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@RGBAtlantica @HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ You must be confused. It’s not costing me a dime.

It’s funny you don’t refer to reciprocal Canadian tariffs on USMCA goods as “illegal.” Those are entirely above board, apparently 😆

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@HillierMuppet @sarobertson_ In most cases, yes. In others, manufacturers are forced to reduce or eat the cost of the tariff.

You’re telling me I have League Pass, Peacock, Prime, Hulu, Apple TV, Prime and Netflix and still can’t watch the NBA finals?

@LASHYBILLS I wonder if the victim will have difficulty finding a lawyer to sue the old man into oblivion.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@LASHYBILLS The purpose of some ppl’s lives is to serve as a warning to others on how to throw your life away.

@DavidMacM31 @Mageu001 @cindylynn_ @sarobertson_ IDK why it would taste any different. NGL, I wasn’t even aware bottling necessarily implied blending but I wouldn’t be surprised.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@Mageu001 @cindylynn_ @sarobertson_ Crown Royal loss in the U.S. would likely be fatal.

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@Mageu001 @sarobertson_ They’re bottling it in the United States, much to the dismay of Canadian Premiers, LOL

[Bill Benson @BillBenson]

@sarobertson_ I’m actually surprised Trump hasn’t targeted Manitoba with tariffs.

@TansuYegen I’d rather have the cubertruck
