 If you work in the tourism industry in the US and count on Canadian tourists for much of your income, don't expect nearly as many in the next year.
There is a movement underway in Canada to encourage Canadian tourists to see Canada this summer and to plan on going south of the US this winter. Do not go to the US is the message.
Of course you can thank Donald Trump for this. His tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum are a slap in the face to your country's best friend and we're pissed off!
Only one idiot in the world would think that Canada is a threat to US security!
Of course he doesn't really think that, he's a thug and a bully and these are his tactics.
To be clear, we are not mad at the American public, we are mad at the one person who initiated this.
Canada's $16.6 Billion dollars of retaliatory tariffs on US products are aimed directly at products made in Republican voter's geographic areas.
If you suffer because of this, please understand that it's not a personal issue between you and I, it's an issue between the Canadian government and the US government.
The sad part is that he's very powerful but be sure that Canada won't be bitch slapped by our closest neighbour, best friend and biggest trading partner and not reply.
Canada is the largest importer of US goods and services and the US is the largest importer of Canadian goods and services.
Where are the adults in the room? |
All this relates to the US multinationals who have been quite happy to make huge profits from having their goods made by cheap labour in China.
Now the Dragon is breathing fire Trump and Co are complaining about what they have created and are hitting out at their friends instead.
Clear enough?
It's always the Canadian border that's trouble, as they try and shake us down for tax money. Once they ripped through every bit of our vehicle and luggage when I was little, because we didn't buy anything during our vacation to a roller coaster park...
