Ask around, I guess.

@GregtheNorth @Tablesalt13 What products made up the 45 billion?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@browsingatwork @Tablesalt13 You're an idiot. You think it's so easy to ship consumer products from Canada to Europe? Show us all, genius.

@Bratt_world @CultusPater When? After all the businesses go bankrupt?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@biker_banker @WeAreCanProud Cool, what about everything else? Do you buy made in Canada clothing or is that chinese and Bangladeshi junk from Costco?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@GlennBa27214362 @WeAreCanProud Is the field mice one for real?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@MarkJCarney What about the people devastated by the tariffs? Are your thoughts with them too?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@Evolutions22222 @MarcNixon24 It was the population's and corporate desire to have everything made cheaper, that's what swayed it. We lost 90% of the manufacturing we had back then. Same with the US.

@KawhiElite @Tablesalt13 The January tariffs are just increased tariffs on steel and auto.

The ones in place now are hitting almost all businesses hard.

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@KawhiElite @Tablesalt13 What are you talking about? The tariffs went into place on August 22nd

@grinchbfd @Meet_at_Janeys @WhiteHouse Honest question: why do you want hostility with Canada and to "take it over?"

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@gator_gum @Tablesalt13 It would probably be better for us

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok Someone told me to set up a US corp owned by my Canadian corp and do intercompany sales at the value of the raw material, pay duties on that and then the US company sells to the US customers. Would that work? I'm not so sure.

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok Is there anything I can do to help my business from these impacts?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok In my business, textiles and clothing, I can't really diversify to other markets. It's too expensive to ship and it's too easy to source cheaper product form Asia.

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world So what should Canada do? They just stepped away from negotiations

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world Ok. So what you basically keep arguing back is that we Canadians are fucked, should bend over and take it from the US and get a deal done. Which is something I agree with. Instead, we will suffer.

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world And increases food costs in the US due to reduced supply

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world So don't reduced application rates lead to reduced crop yields?

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world Right, and those exporters need to raise the price to accommodate the surtax. It's not that hard.

[the boundless one @boundlessone16]

@grok @MargotHayes18 @Bratt_world Well if they depend on us for 90% of potash how would a surtax hurt Canadian producers? The American farmers need to continue to purchase regardless of the surtax.
