I seem to have written it poorly. Sorry, people.
I meant that Canada, like much of the world, has imposed retaliatory tariffs against the US.

Well there you go. 😁🙂
That’s another good idea;
and this would actually benefit most Americans.
maybe have a 20-something-European entertainer calling himself “Kid Rock” who who does covers and derivations, decked out in EU stars, who publicly burns the American flag, and if he’s a transman, even better. 😁
“Whatcha gonna do, MAGAts? Sue me? I live in Europe, where we have Freedom. not in USSA!”
Does Europe allow imports of organic American food (including free range)? Particularly from blue states?
Can’t they go by rail and/or truck like they do in North America?
Yeah, but they say they’re organic.
Apparently at Food Basics, until next Wednesday at least, a bag of 5 is selling for $4.88.

and a 3 lb bag of oranges is $5.98 (or maybe less than US$4.20).
Tim Apple better do what the god emperor wants, or else!
What’s Wall Street gonna do? Back the Democrats next year? Ha!
Those suits are going to take it, and learn to love it!
I say do nothing, as per another reply I made ITT.
Just because Trump hurts Americans with his beloved increased taxes—i.e. increased tariffs—doesn’t mean we should hurt our own people with the same. The MAGAts might enjoy that sort of masochism, but we don’t.
Insider trading is now legal in the US: another reason not to believe the insiders as much, I suppose.
I wish our governments (federal, provincial, and municipal) were more surgical, but that might be too much to ask.
Frankly, I think even retaliatory tariffs are dumb.
Let the free market deal with it: if Canadians can’t get as much American money selling to Americans, they probably won’t buy as much from the US.
Idk: maybe 150 grams to 250 grams each.
They might. I don’t know. If Trump sticks to his guns and keeps or raises the tariffs, and/or continues to go nutty with his “maybe-I’ll-raise-them-maybe-I-won’t” schtick, Europe, Asia, and Latin America will be so fed up with MAGAt USA they might dump some of the excess inventory on us, to the benefit of Canadian consumers.
Apparently in Toronto you can get 4 organic avocados at Walmart for $7 (or maybe less than US$5).
I don’t know, but it seems to me, in Toronto at least, that price increases have tapered off in the past 10 to 20 months.
I think that most of the places I shop are Canadian-owned, and I’m barely even trying to shop Canadian, or non-American, out of some supposed patriotic duty.
As a Canadian, a little part of me wants him to increase the tariffs even more, to 100%, 200%, 300%, maybe more.
I want the lessons that Trump-voters are currently being taught, by the free market, to be as unambiguous as possible.
So maybe I won’t shop at Walmart as often. Their prices post-covid already went a bit high.
I’m not worried.
Isn’t it that they have their own counter-tariffs against the US including, unfortunately, Canada, but if anything, Canada is opening up to Europe.
Perhaps, as a Canadian, stuff from Europe (and Asia, and Latin America) might go down a bit.
