Talking about trade.....

I learned something today. I had to look up what the Cantillon effect was.
The Cantillon effect, described by 18th-century economist Richard Cantillon, refers to the uneven distribution of the benefits from money printing, where those closest to the source of new money (like banks or governments) gain disproportionately before prices rise for the general public.

Gawd trump is dumb, unless he wants to inflict as much pain as possible on US citizens making it easier to establish his dictatorship.

Gawd the liberals are dumb, unless the liberals want to inflict as much pain as possible on Canadian citizens making it easier to establish a dictatorship.

I fixed it for you, thank me later!

Our solution is to respond with retaliatory tariffs?
Team Canada, elbows up?

Who pays the tariffs on goods coming this way?

So Trump is going to reduce our incomes by taxing our exports, and out solution is to reduce our buying power of our income by taxing our imports?

People are voting for that.

Lots of dumb going around?

Every old dumpy warehouse in the USA that has not seen anybody for 20 years will have a brand new sign on the front claiming a new company head office. There will be nothing in it but it won't be hard to fool Donald. He's gonna need all those shitcanned gov employees back just to keep up with the paperwork.

I seem to know and meet more people who think Trump & Co are off their rockers.... let's face it, it's usually never a one man show. Would it be any better if the front man never came across as idiotic.
The show would likely be the same but with a different circus Ring Master and not the clown running the show... or would it?

Yet everybody thinks Carney gonna fix everything using the same hopeless team. Most of the supporters didn't even know what a tariff is a month ago and still don't. And its snowing again jeeez !

The Liberals deserve to be wiped off the electoral map after what they put us through, how short could people's memory be? They defended their policies and now they're "one eighty-ing it", REALLY?

I so desperately want a change from "them"....

So Canadian exporters and industries should smile towards the south while Trump's taxes reduce their exports, revenues, and their balance sheets slip into the red while our PM who ever it is, does sweet F all?

What do you think comes next?

They elected Trump, let them feel the pain in both directions as well.

Holy shit who's side are you on?

Why not attack the source, or do you and others still think it's all about drugs at the border?

In my opinion border fentynol is a the squirrel. Although I don't think many are buying that distraction anymore.

p.s., not saying fentynol isn't a problem, it's just not the real reason they're doing what they're doing
