Maybe if we weren't paying a 250% tariff to ship our lumber and dairy products to them I would feel a little different. They can keep their lumber, or stop cheating us and protecting their interests at our expense.

Again, only our allies because we pay them to be.

I think not sir........................

There is & has been a Free Trade in agreement since 1989 between Canada & the US. It was updated in 1994 to include Mexico & then again by Trump during his first term. For the most part - providing that all stick to the terms of the agreement - very little if anything is subject to a tariff. The 250% bouncing around social media is simply not true.

[URL unfurl="true"]https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36ZB6AD[/URL]

AFP also compared these rates to those recorded in the US International Trade Administration tariff [[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][SIZE=4]database[/SIZE][/COLOR]]('https://www.trade.gov/fta-tariff-tool-search') (archived [here]('https://perma.cc/Y7RT-6TWD')) and received the same results showing no import fees on all the products.
The numbers used in the recent social media posts appear to recycle similar [[SIZE=4][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]false claims[/COLOR][/SIZE]]('https://web.archive.org/web/20180628045840/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-fake-news-trump-supporters-cite-false-chart-with-made-up-canadian/') about Canadian tariffs which predate the current trade dispute.

Do you actually read what you link?

Here's what your factcheck says:

For example, CBSA's list shows milk has an initial tariff of 7.5 percent (with exemptions again for USMCA signatories) but above a certain quantity that could rise to 241 percent for any exporter. This is still less than the 270 percent claimed in the post.

They're claiming it's false because the numbers don't match, but clearly there's some steep-@$$ tariffs on our exports.

That's not free trade.

and you are secetively misreading...........

The Trade Agreement States (in bold print I might add - at the top of the page):
[SIZE=4]This is misleading; the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) allowed most goods to cross the border duty-free, with steep levies on dairy, chicken and egg imports kicking in [U]only if quotas designed to manage supply are exceeded.[/U][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The underline is my addition.

Your contribution:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][I]For example, CBSA's list shows milk has an initial tariff of 7.5 percent (with exemptions again for USMCA signatories) [U]but above a certain quantity that could rise to 241 percent for any exporter. [/U]This is still less than the 270 percent claimed in the post.[/SIZE][/I]

[SIZE=3]So what those two statements are saying it that if the agreed to quotas (agreed to by Mexico, the US & Canada) are exceed the higher tariff rates can kick in. The Supply Managment reference is that each country needs to manage the amount of goods they import so as not to incur the higher tariff.[/SIZE]

Again the underline is mine. The 7.5% tariff mentioned is only for non USCM signatories (i.e. any country other then the US, Mexico & Canada).

[SIZE=3]Got It!![/SIZE]

Now I'm going out for some grub.

You're reading everything in the "fact check" selectively. You're making the argument that there are no tariffs when clearly there are. Managing supply means limiting imports to protect their indigenous business.

Again, not free market. No reason we should subject ourselves to that.

Who?
Canada?
our largest trading patner?
are you really that clueless?

[URL unfurl="true"]https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/imports/canada[/URL]

[HEADING=1]What does each state import the most from Canada?[/HEADING]
Canada is the largest foreign supplier of oil to the US, with energy products, including crude oil and petroleum products, accounting for about 30 percent of all Canadian exports to the US. Cars, tractors and auto parts are the second-largest export, followed by machinery and mechanical appliances. Other significant exports include medicines, plastics and wood products.

ImportsI
In 2018, the U.S. imported $19.3 billion worth of Wood products from Canada, representing 40.4% of the total U.S. imports of those commodities. The U.S. imported $85.8 billion worth of Minerals, representing 35.8% of total U.S. imports of those commodities. Additionally, the U.S. imported $26.2 billion worth of Base Metals,representing 18.8% of the total U.S. imports of those commodities.
==========
We also import electricity. So increase your current LIPA bill or whomever the supplier is these days by 25%.

In the U.S. Northeast, where the reliance on Canadian electricity is higher than most of the country, the consequences of pricier or curtailed electricity could be steeper, Fox said.

Nothing I need from Canada.....................

How about a sheet of plywood?
We get almost all of our plywood from up noth. As I recsll it was going for $75 a sheet during the pandemic. We'll probably be north of there before this is over.
:rolleyes:

Fake news. They import some lumber, theirs sucks OSB, and Doug fir is about it for stick lumber. What ever you read about hardwood is bs, it been coming up from South America with names I’ve never heard of. Oh don’t forget their shitty lafarge gypsum board. Buying from Canada keeps the southern yellow pine industry from monopolizing however builders use cheap over traditional so Yellow Pine is the rage. I’ve never ever got plywood imported and don’t use OSB. We don’t rely on it. Wait don’t forget Maine, lumber is probably the main (lol) income for the state.
We don’t need them, we seceded from England. They are just the mooching extension of the new kings island of Muhammad’s.
Hey the oil one was good one. Remember the pipe line Biden shut down so they couldn’t use our refinery?

Don't forget, they're only sending their best. Thankfully they are protected by those sanctuary cities.

***Rabanales, a Guatemalan national, has been arrested at least 15 times in the last few years in the county, predominantly on gun charges, grand theft, burglary and drug charges, police sources told Fox News.

He has multiple grand theft arrests, mostly for stealing catalytic converters, and past charges for multiple DUIs, conspiracy, felon in possession of a gun, possession of burglary tools, possession of meth, possession of stolen property and felony hit-and-run during a police pursuit.

Sanchez has been arrested at least a dozen times, mostly for grand theft, gun charges, drugs, burglary, kidnapping, possession of meth and possession of burglary tools, the sources said.
