2:55 p.m. EST: Relationship with ally has changed: Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers CEO
The president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers says Canada’s relationship with a longtime ally and trading partner has fundamentally changed.
Lisa Baiton says without greater global reach for oil and gas exports, Canada has little trade leverage with the United States.
She says Canada urgently needs a policy overhaul that would allow infrastructure projects held back by environmental opposition to move ahead.
Hey Alberta, get fucked. We’ve all been telling you to diversify your economy for years. We still don’t want your fucking pipeline.
Trade war with our allies! So much freedom and cost savings.
What are friends for if you can’t tax them into enemies??
We tariff you infinity plus one.
But did you triple stamp it?
Bring the pain.
The harder the better. Trump won’t stop on his own. The people will need to get pissed and demand change.
Bring the pain.
Target exports from red states. Squeeze those Trump voting mother fuckers until reality slaps them in the face and they squeal like the little facist pricks they are.
Bring the pain.
Laugh all you want but this is clearly a top 4d chess move. It’s a little early to tell exactly what it is, but it’s either the I’m rubber; you’re glue gambit, or it could be the neener-neener maneuver. Either way, we should be proud to witness this in our lifetimes.
Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.
Sounds like somebody didn’t get their nap today
This is not a fucking Parker Brothers board game. Trump is an incredible moron.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe vowed to cut down barriers on interprovincial trade
Interesting - in the US this isn’t allowed, I didn’t realize it was a thing in Canada.
The provinces and territories have a lot of power, mandated in our Constitution. Some don’t have many trade barriers, while others do.
It’s an interesting decision - I’m curious about the pros and cons of that choice. US States have a fair amount of power as well but that one is explicitly excluded in the constitution – which makes a fair amount of sense to me, though maybe because I’m used to it. I can only imagine what we’d be going through right now if Florida could regulate trade with California.
Art of the Deal
Lmfao this is gonna be a time.
Hold on to your butts, fellow meatbags.
And this, my friends, are why tariffs are dumb.
Next, cancel visa free travel to Canada. Build more trade deals with China and ASEAN.
My God we’re all going to starve to death.
