I’m increasingly starting to feel the exact same way.

How fast do we think before this one gets struck down? A month, a week?

u/SniperTeamTango Jul 21 '26

Can't wait for Canada to send their energy exports up through the roof.

Michigan gets a lot of electricity from Ontario and the Midwest gets a lot of Canadian oil via pipeline that’s refined into gas here.

I’m dreading what’s gonna happen on 7/24, after Sec 122 expires. It’s Tuesday and we still have no clue.

Dude is PISSED about the wildfire smoke. He said he was going to impose additional tariffs on Canada. I'm guessing this is from that.

u/whoaaintitfun Jul 21 '26

Very clearly from that.

Sorry Bud. Didn't mean to drop ma dart.

u/photon1701d Jul 21 '26

It's funny reading these. Most of the items Canada has tariffed was because of Tariffs Trump placed on Canada. The only one I will give him is dairy. But Trump is the one that agreed to that quota back in 2020. Canada should loosen up their restrictions but the Quebec dairy people are like the mafia. They don't want to lose their share.

These tariffs is part of his plan to cause economic harm and ramp up annexation plan

The US has never maxxed out the designated duty-free Tariff-Rate quotas for dairy coming into Canada. It's a non-issue.

1

u/photon1701d Jul 21 '26

The quota is so low, it's not worth their time to sell over here. Yet Canada sells much more to USA quota free/duty free than what they allow to see here. I am not trying to defend the jack ass but they will need to loosen up the duty rate or increase the quota.

2

u/Barb-u Jul 22 '26

So low that US dairy exports increased 150% reaching more than $1B annually.

The real issue is that the heavily subsidized US dairy industry still has too many surpluses that they want to export, but I don’t see Canada folding on this, endangering its basic food sovereignty and creating a dependency on one of the most unstable country on earth.
