Yes, on the United States, an economic war of tariffs. For every 20% tariff the US applies to Canadian imports the beloved rainbow rulers of Canada will slap on an extra 5% to US imports. Take that, Trump. So, we bill them at 20%, 10% for oil, and they kick us in the shin with 25%. Look out, Nazi America.
Oof, or is it? 77% of Canada's exports go to America, about a third of that being crude oil, and maybe now they'll lose that income stream as we drill, baby, drill. Apart from oil, Americans can expect massive price increases in revolting Tim Hortons coffee, nasty "TimBits" donuts, and hangover in a glass whiskey. Oh dear, I guess we'll have to produce these things ourselves, which is what it's all about.
Speaking of which, the traitors who off-shored our industry to China, leaving asset-stripped hellhole, dystopian nightmare in the place of once prosperous towns and cities need to be brought to account. What an epic crime against our nation and its people. Will they be? Good question, hope so.
In the meanwhile, perhaps Trumpian tariffs will reverse this sickening trend and bring back industry, jobs and prosperity to the US. Who knows; and while we're at it, abolish income tax and the privately owned, usurious Fed's armed collector, the IRS. Just a thought. In the meanwhile, Justine's going to war. We quake in our loafers.

We can do without castigating Tim Hortons.
Some of our border states get somewhere around 70% of their electricity from Canada. Sobering thought. Good news; we have a President versed in the Art of the Deal.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, LTG, CSA, R.I.P.
I should expect that he'd have thrown away the scabbard long before now, were he still present.
A tariff war is where the balance of trade adds leverage. That said, tariffs are better applied like a scalpel, and less like a brick.
Cana-duh needs us far more than we need them. The reason Trump enacted tariffs on Mehiko and Cana-duh is they've had punishing tariffs on our goods and services for a long long long time.
And this was all touched in Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor." Where the Congress in the book passes a trade reciprocity law. Basically, "We tax, tariff and inspect your garbage as much as You tax, tariff and inspect our stuff."
Yes, much complaining, but it shut down one country almost immediately.
Tom Clancy was a bit of a prophesier in a lot of his books. Too bad there's been only one or two good movies made out of them, as the rest tend to smell like last week's catch left out on the front porch.
And, in contrast, Panama has said it will not renew the Belt and Road Initiative.

Good. Trump's 'unhinged blustering' wins again.
Now all that's left is Greenland... And the Greenlanders love us and dislike Denmark, especially after the release of information that the Danish government forced birth control upon Greenlander teenagers going to school.
“the traitors who off-shored our industry”
Hey! Pretty sure you have to have sworn allegiance, then broken it, to be a traitor. Those people aren’t traitors then. They NEVER thought of themselves as Americans first. So put THAT in your 6.5 gallon hat (adjusted for inflation), and smoke it! Actually, if you could get a truly sincere answer out of Them, the “traitor” thing isn’t even on the radar. It’s more like the beekeeper taking comb and honey out of the hive. They’re People, we’re not. We exist to serve Them. End of story.
And did you really use the word “usury” in the same sentence as the Fed?!! 😧
