Trade War

I've always thought Moosehead was more an export beer for the US/Mexico than a Canadian standard, but they are the last Canadian family owned brewery so their market share will grow there.. Pity they use green bottles, the reason Molson Golden is not all that popular as it once was.....

I once found Moosehead on tap at a bar in Seattle... it was actually pretty good tasting. The green bottles really spoil a good beer especially anything with flavorful hops.

It's a pity as Molon Golden is their best beer out of a cn can, it used to be on tap here when I was a kid in HS but disappeared in the 90's on taps. I had Moosehead a bit in the Army but locally Labatt and Molson are king along with the standard mass brew domestics. Labatt actually has their US operations here and can brew if need be..

I was listening to a lobster guy from Maine. All their processing is done in Canada so now the lobster will go to Canada getting a 25% tariff on the way our and then again on the way in so Maine lobster will go up in price in the USA by 50%. What will happen then? People will stop buying it he will go out of business . I guess then they will buy Canadian lobster but at 25% more expensive. Then presumably with lobster being more scarce without the US lobster it will go up further in price.

Scenario 2 China owns lots of factories in Vietnam so they just build 49% of the product in China ship it to Vietnam to get finished and then send it to the US. We know they will do that it because that's what they did the last time Trump tried this moronic bullshit,

I think I heard Canada might cut off direct access to Alaska, lolz, if things go too far. I'm no Trudeau sycophant the way the MAGA cucks here are for Trump, but him trolling the Fuck out of drmpf is hilarious!...

Poor Canadians, rye whiskey sucks balls...

Geez I really like lobster so it's gonna get expensive. Last time I was out in California they had restricted dungenous crab fishing and they were charging $66 a pound... I had to forego my favorite crab sandwich at a restaurant on the Santa Cruz wharf. No way I was gonna pay $45 for a fucking sandwich...

Here's a great statistic - in his first term Donald Trump spent more on giving aid to US farmers to make up for his tariffs with China than on nuclear weapons.

Thirty bllion dollars.

What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs

President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200% on dairy
products imported from the US. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact.

Those high tariffs kick in only after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales
to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its allowed zero-tariff
maximum in any category of dairy product.

In many categories, notably including milk, the US is not even at half of the zero-tariff maximum.

“In practice, these tariffs are not actually paid by anyone,” Al Mussell, an expert on Canadian agricultural trade,
said in an email Friday.

He also doesn't mention that it was him that negotiated the current deal with Canada and Mexico. We have faulty politics too but he would have at least been called on that....

I wonder how many average Americans even know that? One in 10? One in 20?

From what I remember his "renegotiatiion" of NAFTA didn't get a lot of media coverage. Apart from him calling it "the Biglyest Best Trade Deal Ever" (or something like that)

Trump and his a$$-felching minions like BJ_Vance are costing the US economy BILLION$ in canceled defense contracts. Because As an unstable dementia laden fucktard, countries like Canada and Portugal are abandoning the F-35 and canceling contracts in favor of the Eurofighter or Typhoon as trump laps putty's small cock. I gue4ss that's what happens when you fuck your friends and become a ballsack hugger for Vlad Putin...

[Seshmeister]

Maybe he will sell F-35s to Putin....

This what I love about Trump. That asshole will bankrupt the economy by October and still find someway to pin it on Biden.

Poor Canadians, rye whiskey sucks balls...

All of Canadian whisky is rot gut. It's either one of two things: too sweet or too sour. Strange coming from a place that grows rye and produces shitbags like Ryan Gosling. When I lived in Winnipeg not even the indigenous Indians would come near it and they would line up at liquor store hours before it opened just to buy the shittiest American made whiskey that was on sale.
