A Canadian podcaster lashed out in response to members of the U.S. men's hockey team shaking President Donald Trump's hand after winning the gold medal.
I think the tariffs are apart of the “threat” … he said he would remove them if we "joined. The thing with Trump is he says that he doesn’t “need” anything about Canada and then talk about all the freshwater we have. So it’s a lot of “dog whistling” mixed in with actions like the tariffs whenever we do things like make deals with China.
Ah, I tend to believe every country should have the ability to control their own trade policy. Paul Krugman a far left leaning economist called it a more politically expedient VAT tax, which most US economists say we need a VAT due to massive US debt accrual.
It is a tax, and generates revenue for the US, which is something many left leaning people want for things like a minimum income. I’d be curious if a Democrat did it and used the proceeds to establish a minimum income would people be seething with rage and calling it a betrayal?
