Totally ineffective measure by Trump on Canada. Canada’s supply management system is already intended to stop Canadian dairy farmers from overproducing, focused solely to meet our own needs. So farmers and processors are already limited on the US export front. 250%, a bajillion %, is not going to make much difference for this specifically. It just means we close our small export market to them.
There are few things less desirable to the world than American cheese. Borf.
How about a thin 35$ wedge?
From the article:
“Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products,” Trump said in an Oval Office address Friday, citing Canada’s roughly 250% tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar.
I believe he has just realized that tariffs can, in fact, be higher than 100%.
Expect higher numbers in the future.
Its like an infinite money hack!
Tomorrow: “Trump Threatens tariffs of 4930374830248749200284779308372992883774902948392084%”
Crashes the global economy because too bigly number error
Integer overflow; suddenly everything’s free.
Suddenly the US is paying everyone to take their shit.

Is Trump really looking to start a war with the MILK MAFIA? Check yourself before you wreck yourself 🐮
You poor Americans.
US milk isnt wanted up here because yours allows stuff in it that ours does not.
• Canada doesnt allow a synthetic hormone that increases milk production. Its not tied to human effects, but is documented as affecting the health of the cows.
• Canada enforces a lower cell count than US milk, which again, reflects a healthier cow
Oh my god, he is as annoying as a pain ok the ovaries at 4:00 am in the morning!!!
Keep yapping, asshole.
“The market is having trouble digesting the multidimensional chess that Trump and his team are playing,” said Michael Block, market strategist at Third Seven Capital. “This multidimensional chess game is not going well for the grand master.
LOL, you aren’t playing 3D chess when you flip a chessboard.
It’s called the weave
As an American, I hope that Canada continues to tell our government to fuck off and then also makes a trade agreement with the EU.
You don’t want our dairy anyway, that’s for sure.
Uhhhh, Canada restricts American dairy in a variety of ways.
BECAUSE OUR STANDARDS ARE STRICTER.
Live up to them, or fuck off, America.
If you can’t live up to the rules, you can’t play the game.
It’s not just the standards. It’s also that we use central planning for these sectors which allows for small farms distributer around the country to survive along with the communities around them. If we let the free market deal with it, it’ll all get reformed into large factory farms with the surplus value extracted away from the local communities and into large capital owners. Then our rural farming communities get plunged into poverty.
Why’s that not a concern for literally anything else?
Why is IKEA allowed to operate, why can I buy shoes at Walmart when Canadian cobblers exist?
We either benefit from globalization or we don’t, isn’t that much at least true?
Well, it’s untrue that globalization is a binary true or false benefit, though on the surface it’s a logical question.
Until you consider sovereignty. Particularly food sovereignty. It’s more than strategic, it’s the foundation of a stable, rule-of-law society. So it’s more than economics, it’s a governmental social responsibility, and self-preservation.
Supply management is a success in Canada, despite some problems, because it stabilizes society, as more small farms is more desirable in many ways than big centralized ag.
And you are right, there are a number of economic sectors we could look more closely at with a mind towards sovereignty, maybe including footwear and furniture, though food and medicines come first.
As far as I understand it, that system is also why our eggs still cost normal amounts. (If a farm has to cull their birds because of avian flu, it’s not millions of chickens.)
Bring it! Your tariffs are a fucking joke! Buy the ticket, take the ride!
Trump is doing this to acquire more property for his own business.
- Trump said he wants invade and annex Canada and make it cease as a sovereign nation
- Trump said he wants to invade and annex Greenland, stealing it away from Denmark
- Trump said he wants to invade and annex Gaza
All this tarriff horseshit is to create uncertainty and weaken these territories he want to take over for his own businesses. He does not give a fuck about America, only himself.
250% on eggs.
That’ll be popular.
Export tax on eggs to the US please! Let them figure out why there aren’t any eggs in the store instead of making prices rise in Canada/Mexico & Europe
Real dr evil vibes.
