Mark my words: Trump will use this sanctions law to impose tariffs on Canada or Europe. He already tariffed us pretending that we exported fentanyl into the US, now he will say that we buy Russian oil. Meanwhile, no sanctions on China or India. youtube.com/watch?v=6F-CdzNx…

Casual soccer viewer here, but that seemed like a bad call in the first place. I’m not too broken up about it.

This is hilarious. "Rising costs and tighter budgets are reshaping how Canadians travel this summer, with many choosing destinations closer to home while still holding onto plans for long-haul trips to Europe." The elephant in the room...?: 🚫🇺🇸 ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/do…

Domestic travel continues upward trend as Canadians adjust summer plans to rising costs: Expedia

Many are holidaying close to home, visiting other Canadian cities or choosing European destinations outside of the traditional capitals

Iran War - Just a few things to get out of my chest 1) It has been blindly obvious for a while that Trump is trapped in his own mess. Like any toddler, he will just blame someone else, walk away and leave the grown ups to clean up. 1/n

13) I hear Americans talking about a Democrat win in 2028 or whatever. That means nothing, the damage is done, and it's so deep not one president will be able to fix it. And Trumpism will not disappear with Trump, it never does. 14/n

14) Just a stream of conscience. The rest of us (Canada, Europe, ANZ, Japan, SK and others) hopefully can build something new. But our children and grandchildren will not inherit a better world, quite the opposite. End

On the contrary, it seems like a brilliant plan. A brilliant Russian plan, that is.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.
