Canada slaps tariffs on $13 billion worth of US goods
By Justin Wise - 07/01/18 01:38 PM EDT

Canada announced Sunday that it has moved forward with retaliatory measures against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs, slapping $13 billion in its own tariffs on American exports.

CNN reported that over 40 U.S. steel products will see tariffs of 25 percent. A 10 percent tariff will be levied on more than 80 other American items, including toffee, maple syrup and coffee beans.

The tariffs come amid an escalating feud between Canada and the U.S. over trade policy, after President Trump imposed steep steel and aluminum tariffs last month on Canada and other longtime U.S. allies.

The retaliatory measures were in the works for weeks. Trudeau vowed during last month's Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Canada that Canada "will not be pushed around."

Canada is our 3rd biggest trading "partner," after the 1. EU and 2. China. (Mexico 4th)

All you NTs do is complain.  Trump's triggered a nice tit-for-tat that is hurting consumers, and all you can do is make a snarky comment when we see he's successfully hurting American businesses and helping the consumer.

Percent of GDP toward defense spending.....

USA- 3.1%

Canada- 1.2%

Time to stop this free ride, and send the Canucks a surcharge for protection from their north .   NATO too, while we are at it.

That's old. Canadians are abandoning Timmy's with the buyout and their change of coffee, along with their Politically Incorrect moves on living wages.

Gee, who could have ever predicted Canada would do something like that.

The day the Canucks give up on Timmy's is the day Mexico gives up drug trafficking to rebuild their shithole country. Christ. I feel compelled to buy a cup of Joe at Hortons when I am up there and I don't drink coffee.

Tim Hortons’ reputation is
tanking after a year of stumbles and bitter feuds
A series of very-public missteps have lead to a terrible, horrible no good, very bad year for the giant coffee chain
by Aaron Hutchins Apr 5, 2018
https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/tim-hortons-reputation-is-tanking-after-a-year-of-stumbles-and-bitter-feuds/

Here’s one way to put Tim Hortons quickly deteriorating reputation into perspective:
 Canadians think more highly of Loblaw’s, a company that recently admitted to being a major player in a bread price-fixing scandal that lasted for decades, than the storied coffee chain. When research firm Leger released its annual corporate reputation report Thursday, the survey found Tim Hortons was the 50th most reputable company among consumers.

Last year? It was fourth.

Timmies suffered the second largest drop for any company’s reputation score this year, according to Leger—trailing only Sears, which only managed to fare worse by filing for bankruptcy, liquidating all their stores, laying off nearly their entire staff and stiffing them on their pensions.

[...]

Sears is doing fine, too, I suppose.

Yeah. That's why Tim's had revenues over $3 billion last year, and increase over at least the last two years. Slowing growth doesn't equal death. BTW, your pals at Starfux are in a spot of real bother....
