  5. A dramatization no doubt inspired by Trump's bone spurs. And everyone knows that Democrats are responsible for bone spurs. And scraped knees.

    The news in Canada said that US farmers run a $20B trade surplus with Canada ( unconfirmed ). Trump on an almost daily basis whines about our dairy farmers. What could go wrong with tariffs lol ? An expert in the field said one of the reasons that Canadian dairy restricts US trade is that the quality standards in the US badly lag the rules in Canada.

    Meanwhile, there is a groundswell of "Buy Canadian, not American" starting to build in terms of groceries and I could see this very easily impacting on new car purchases as well ( buy Asian not American ). This is what happens when a buffoon continually lies about trade and insults another nations intelligence doing so ( kind of like Gwb_Trading on this site; very easy to begin to hate these characters ). Trump is helping push Canadian companies and consumers away from American products and trade. Now this will never end what is a massive amount of trade between Canada and the US ( $500B ? ). But it may divert enough of it in certain areas like farming to hurt a lot of people. Might not be so bad if the US had alternate trading partners to pick up the slack, but Trump is too busy pissing them off as well.
