US Tariffs, Sigh!

[JamesLam]

From what I heard, at least for Ontario... It's like a consignment, and all the liquor got sent back.

I believe BC sold all of it and just didn't do any re ordering....


I'm sure every province is different. I agree, sitting on it if it's paid for is dumb, it doesn't prove a point or accomplish anything.


Just googled it... Looks like Ontario alone sold 1 billion dollars of us alcohol in a year... All the stats I see are that Ontario accounts for most of the US sales ... I guess Ontario people like to drink!

Im sure that 1 billion is getting pumped into Canadian products.... People who drink don't just stop drinking. So LCBO doesn't get hurt, the people don't get hurt (except they drink shittier bourbon I guess?), seems like a win win for Canada.... And it seems to be hurting the USA bourbon economy if a lot of them are going out of business.


Whether it's accomplishing pressure on trump to lower the tarrifs or not.... It doesn't seem like it. But even so.... I guess Canada first? Pump the billion in sales to Canadian distributors vs American, even if it isn't accomplishing its goal of Tarif reduction, at least it's helping the Canadian economy.

I believe all of the Ontario stock of US booze has been warehoused. Still here, just aging to perfection.

During most of the first two years of COVID the U.S. had about a twenty times higher death rate per capita than Australia, so it's hard to argue that the quarantine center wasn't effective. The Omicron variant wasn't quite as coroporative.

You guys are much harder than we are. Started COVID off in much better shape with the running and fighting off all the critters down there trying to eat you.

Covid was gone in a couple of weeks and my uncle taught the unibomber in college at MIT long before we all knew he was the unibomber. My uncle died before the world knew who the unibomber was, but my uncle knew him. When will healthcare be great again? When is 'infrastructure week,, who lost out on Medicare, or Medicaid, or USAID? Pennies to feed the kids; Billions to please the rich

You are deep into the cult aren't you? You are excusing theft, paedophilia, the destruction of democracy, the fact that not a single country on the planet can ever trust the USA ever again, the most job loses since covid, the fact that America is diving head first into a depression. And inflation sky-rocketing.
Oh and homeless being rounded up at gunpoint to work for free in prison camps.
While the crops rot in the fields. And billionaires get tax cuts. Your hero promotes paedophiles and has now let one go on work release. And he promised to release the Epstein files. Remember?
You worship the wrong idol.

well you said a bunch of crap that's being promoted on liberal media without actual facts. below is the actual information. feel free to read at your leisure.
inflation was raised to 2.7% in July. slightly higher than may at 2.5%, but still lower than january at 3%
the job losses: so, you're going back to covid? want to talk about who released covid and why? I'll give you a hint: when's the last time you saw fauci? and if you don't believe me, do some research on fauci and the aids epidemic in the 80s. that's some crap you will never unsee.
homeless are not being round up at gunpoint. that's just dumb to even think that.
crops rotting in the fields? have you seen that? because I'm still getting my fruits at the grocery store.
tax cuts (see below on the waysandmeans committee)
pedophilia is the new round of propaganda stemming from not releasing the epstein files. Apparently he CAN'T. That's a whole different department. The justice department. and there's a particular issue with grand juries and the children involved. it has nothing to do with trump.
but if you think nothing's being done regarding epstein, here's this nugget: The clintons are in hot water all the way around.

the reason why we had a higher death rate is because the treatment was remdisivir. it wasn't covid...it was the treatment

Kids don't drink like we did. My son stays home some nights and meets up online with his friends and plays video games - I would never have done that at 20! I was waaaay too busy sneaking into bars, finding sketchy men to buy us beer at the minimart, going to picnics every weekend in the summer and again, finding sketchy men to buy us beer. No cells phones, just meet at the picnic then after some friend of a friend of a friend would have a bonfire after in their parents back 40. Most of the cities had a bar to dance at with a DJ. Now its all that kareokee crap.

I just saw on the news today that drinking is down 54% overall.

Since it's still prescribed for pediatric and high-risk cases, what you are saying is that doctors all over the country are actively trying to kill people. You seem to be an expert in many fields, such as economics and medicine....how the hell did you end up in the sign industry?

well. not on purpose. doctors get directives from the government on treatment protocols. fauci gave those protocols for covid. there were many doctors who came out against that treatment protocol and were silenced.

I'm not an expert, at all. I'm not even claiming to be. But theres a crap ton of propaganda out there that is put out on media and I've been researching this crap for a while..(since covid).
Ive been wrong several times. guillermo called me out on tariffs and I was wrong. I also don't mind being wrong. it's how we learn. i get embarrassed just like anyone else would but I would like to think that I hold myself accountable. (even if others don't see it on here...)

whats funny to me is that you think i'm acting like an expert, but i literally pulled articles and posted them. it's just a matter of reading them.

What's funny to me is that if those articles started with "President Joseph R. Biden" then you wouldn't believe a SINGLE word in any of them, but becuse it starts with Trump it's gospel and everyone should take it as such.

Since when does Trump give a flying f about following the rules? If he actually wanted to release the Epstein files he would have it done. He doesn't give a damn about overstepping the bounds or following the law, and republicans won't hold him accountable because they just want to win.

Youre exactly right! I didn't believe Biden. His whole presidency was done by the autopen.
