@JasminLaine Go to Grok and see what removing the "content exclusion" on Canadian autos does.
Overnight disaster - and it all hits Doug Ford and Ontario.
Will Doug Ford pi$$ off Trump anymore? We shall see, but $70,000 job losses in 12 months is possible.
@fluttergirl2112@MarcNixon24@ABDanielleSmith Don't need to. Remove the "content exclusion" on Canadian autos - the effective rate goes from 12% to 25% and plants start shutting down within a month.
And it all hits Doug Ford.
@MarcNixon24@ABDanielleSmith You're correct, "dollar for dollar" won't improve anything. In fact, the US has a "nuclear option" that Canada does not.
The US could completely collapse the Canadian auto industry by removing the "content exemption" on autos.
In one year - up to 70,000 Canadian jobs lost.
@JasminLaine Also, when CR moved bottling to US - they did themselves a great favor ...
Bulk spirit has a lower entered value than finished bottled goods, shrinking the dutiable base and thus the absolute tariff cost.
@JasminLaine Trump is on the phone with CROWN ROYAL, cutting a deal to move to the U.S.
It only makes sense now! ๐๐
Look at the sales they stand to LOSE over these tariffs ...
@goobles81@JasminLaine I live in the Deep South and CR is my favorite whiskey, I go through far too much of it each week.
And ... I plan on continuing to do so - even if Trump tariffs it 5,000%. That's because I feel secure that US wins this war. GO TRUMP!!
Winners win, losers cry.
@ReikiAsahi@JasminLaine I'm American - I LOVE TRUMP.
And ... I'm good with the tariffs. You guys are freeloaders, and don't practice what you preach.
Oh, here's an "elbows up" for you - your pension funds are far more heavily invested in the US than Canada.
@veggieto@StephenKing I support more Canadian retirement funds invested in the US. Talk is cheap ... we see who really think is the better nation ...
Hilarious ... only 1% of US Retirement funds invested in Canada. That made me laugh. Canada has almost 50% of theirs invested in US. ELBOWS UP!!!
@catturd2 While Canadians talk "10-feet tall and bulletproof" - look where they actually put their retirement funds compared to where the US puts its!
It's very clear that Canadians know they make more money in US investments than their own.
@Jeriantheman@mark_slapinski Here's something that should get you angry ... while you're worried about "booze" ... LOL
You can't even run your retirement funds without investing almost 50% of them in the US.
@stevenliptonhfx@elevatereport It means YOU KNOW your money is better kept and earns more in A M E R I C A.
Than in your own country.
I mean - prove me wrong. The numbers don't lie - otherwise you'd invest in Canada.
@stevenliptonhfx@elevatereport Americans do "pension management" by investing over 90% in America. You only invest 12% in yourselves.
Also - who protects your trade routes? Essentially for free.
I was sympathetic in the beginning, but now you guys are willfully stupid.
@Agostino2Romano@mario4thenorth Even if the Communists take back the house - that won't happen. They'd have to take the senate too - and that's impossible given the seats up for grabs and the radicals who've already been nominated for them.
What's your plan B?
