[quote name="blackwater"]They can't even send their own oil to eastern Canada without it going through the US. (Trudeau helped to cancel the pipeline projects that might have made it possible.) <img src="https://soundingmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/soundingmaps_crude_oil_lines.png" width=700/> Currently, the Canadaian dollar is falling against the US dollar. If that keeps happening, US consumers might not even notice Trump's tarriffs. A 20% tarrif on a price that's 20% lower because of currency conversion is a wash. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93qnk92174o">more than 75% of Canadian exports go to the US. Only 17% of US exports go to Canada.</a> This makes sense. Canada is essentially a thin strip of populated land on the US's northern border, and a big wilderness where nobody lives. It's very obvious who the loser is going to be here. It's like if the state of Massachusetts decided to get in a trade war with the US. Who will come out ahead there, gee I wonder! Trudeau is an incredible idiot though, so dumb he would drown looking up in a rainstorm. Bad times ahead for Canadians. Sad![/quote]
