So is the consensus on this forum that trade deficits = trade bad? (also can trade with canada ever have a trade surplus since the consumer base in canada is so small compared to US?)
All in all, pretty funny.

Canada is subsidizing dairy, Cow in Canada will never compete with an outdoors all year grassfed NZ or Aussie cow and never did. few months ago Canada hit Chinese subsidized steel with 25% tariff while itself subsidizes its own steel. The days of carefree oblivioun are over.
To work or not to work that is the question.

Some bullets:

- China controls many Canadian ports.

- Almost all fentanyl comes from China, either in precursors or other, and flows into the US through Mexico and Canada.

- Fentanyl kills over 100,000 Americans per year.

- Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar are both collapsing in value in the past 2 days.

- Companies in Canada are moving to the US rather than pay the tarriffs.

- Secretary Of State Rubio is in Panama today and has made it clear that the CCP WILL NOT be allowed to control the canal.

Fentanyl is a problem, but I think it's just an excuse for the trade war.

The American products that I have been selling have been expensive until now, but if and when there will be EU tariffs and counter tariffs, I won't be able to sell a single unit. It goes both ways and will harm everyone. Allies, trade partners and rivals will start looking at other markets and start making new trade agreements, if it becomes impossible with the US.

Ukraine is actually as competitive as China. Better quality control and after sales.

US manufacturers have a wealthy free trade zone at their loading bay and now protected plus several million low cost migrants thanks to the border tzar. Future AI robots.
Paypal, Ebay, Amazon they keep on creating revolutionary systems.

There is not much gratitude or respect towards those who create, their product copied and arrives on the shelf next to theirs from merchantile Chinese free without consequence until now.

Everyone else has applied sales tax to imports plus duty plus border check grifters.

There won't be a trade war. The US is the market everyone wants to sell in.

US and the rest used to be timid, avoided any kind of critisizm of China thinking be nice and companies could get access and show them how things are done..
Some applied to their shenanigans in the canal whom have been pouring in billions and signing 25 year leases. Until Trump mentioned it.
