Canada imposes tariffs.

The fact remains:

"Recent World Trade Organization data shows that America's average tariff for imported goods is 2.4%. Canada's average tariff for imported goods is 3.1%, and the EU's average tariff for imported goods is 3%.


That's:

Canada - 3.1%
EU - 3.0%
US - 2.4%


So, either even it up or do away with tariffs all together. That's FAIR TRADE! --- take it or leave it.



Looks like Trump is willing to do away with tariffs and apparently JT is not. So, screw Canada.

Sitting pretty well sums up Canada.
Yes, I suppose having a higher standard of living
does allow Canadians to relax once in a while!
This is not hard to accomplish when you have a trade advantage and refuse to fund NATO with you fair share.

Do you, Pat, fill in your Canadian relatives about your true feelings
for them and their country?

All NATO members fund NATO according to the terms set up at its beginning.

Yes, and Canada is taking advantage of that to fund their own pleasures rather than pay their fair share.

All NATO members pay their fair share.

So you say. I respectfully disagree and so does the leader of the USA which pays for most of it which is not fair.

We should renegotiate the terms for NATO then because some members don't pay their fair share. While we're at it we should think about changing some of the members. Some probably don't belong there anymore.

As far as the tariffs I wish president Trump would call all ya all's bluff and tell you that if you'll drop all tariffs we will follow suit. Particularly the EU countries.

The U.S. is the only member to ever have requested support from other members when it went after the Taliban.

Until U.S. subsidies are reduced or removed, tariffs are just part of the puzzle.
