Canada 'disappointed' by Trump boosting tariffs to 35%, says Carney

CBC News

Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent.

"While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to [the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement], which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume," the statement read.

"The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs."

He says the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian and diversify export markets.

Even though the vast bulk of Canada's exports can still cross the border tariff-free, Trump's executive order increases the tariff rate, which had been set at 25 per cent since March, to 35 per cent starting Friday.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Bottom line: it's clearly not working, I don't see any surge in prosperity from Trump increasing tariffs.

Everything I see and hear about these Canadians makes me wanna puke! Canadians suffer from a serious inferiority complex.
It's time we put the "America" back in North America!

Maybe we should place a tariff on Canadians crossing into the US for health care.

I'm disappointed this idiot Carney is the best Canadians could come up with.

You won't in such a short term.

Only those who live for the moment will be disappointed.

Oh, and like deporting illegals, tariffs are also designed to get jobs for unemployed Americans.

Yes and I see no evidence that it's working.

Hmm, the photo of Carney hugging a male "pride parade" participant in a thong with buttocks exposed, seems to keep disappearing.  :pondering:

Expecting results in a matter of months after the damage done by the Biden Idiocracy is not a realistic expectation.  This time next year, you will begin to see dramatic improvement.  It will happen.  Be patient.

To refresh your memory, the first few years of the Reagan Administration were not grand by any measure.  Carter had done such a fine job of ruining many things in the USA, that it took time then too.  In the 2nd year of Reagan's 1st term, interest rates were 17%.  Inflation was 20%+ as I recall.  It was not a good time in 1981, 1982.

As I said, short term thinkers will always become disappointed with long term actions.
