I wonder how long until Canada gets pressured into doing the same, just like we always do?


I haven't kept up to date but does the US have that much more leverage over Canada anymore? Last I checked we have tariffs on most exports, including crude, wood, steel and aluminium (probably missing a bunch). General goods are tariff'ed at 35% while China is tariff'ed at 47.5%.

They could get us to ban DJI for sure but I'd assume it'd be more through carrot than stick, because at this point we've been pretty consistently beaten for the last year.


> General goods are tariff'ed at 35% while China is tariff'ed at 47.5%.

Incorrect. General tariffs are only on goods not already covered by CUSMA, which, other than the specific items already called out (aluminum, steel, etc.), is a very small set.


I stand corrected, I guess there are still plenty of sticks to beat us with.


for now we are still putting the 100% tariff on cars that cant even drive on our roads, on the US' behalf


The threat of invading is hard to beat.


you mean like the time they invaded and took Washington DC?

Canada being the only country to successfully invade the US

or did I mix up my pronoun references again?
