  1. Because they don’t they exist. Amongst developed countries, Canada is towards to bottom of the list for tariffs rates, at 2.4%. Trump quotes high tariffs on dairy products. The truth is, the US pays 0% on dairy imports to Canada. The USMCA has agreed upon caps for importing dairy to Canada. This is to protect Canadian farmers, to keep them in business. If the US exceeds those caps, they pay high tarriffs. The USMCA doesn’t exceed the cap, so they don’t pay tarriffs. International Trade Courts have ruled this agreement is fair. Trump signed this agreement. Tr
  2. You don’t appear to understand that there is no greater threat than the threat of a countries sovereignty, or existence. Trump constantly calls Canada the 51st State, he refers to our PM as a Governor. He speaks of taking allied countries by force. You were angered that I stated to someone I was happy they were not a Canadian. Not once have you stated it is wrong to threaten Canada’s sovereignty. Clearly you haven’t learnt anything from your deployment’s. Not once did I say you don’t understand sacrifice. You live a sheltered life if you don’t see what Trump is doing to
  3. You appear to live in the Seattle area. During the confusion of the 911 attacks, when it wasn't certain what was going on. My fighter squadron was getting ready to deploy to protect the skies over Seattle, we were assigned that city and had been pre-planning our deployment. 24 hours when it became clear who attacked, we were stood down and deployed to Comox for Quick Reaction Duty instead.
  4. You clearly have no idea how upset Canadians are over the threats to our sovereignty. We are infuriated over these threats. And you must be living a very sheltered life if you don't know the rest of the world has also lost trust with the US, Trump has turned on his allies. A 25% decrease of Canadian travellers to the US is significant. I expect those numbers to increase, I bet many people had non-refundable tickets, so they could not cancel. I served 25 years in the Canadian military, I served alongside US forces in conflict, I have many friends who are in the US who ar
  5. Glad you aren’t Canadian. One thing this has done is united our country to the understanding we don’t need to rely on the US for goods anymore. Our grocery stores are stripped of US products. Our fruit and vegetables are now from both Canada and Mexico. There are apps to scan products to warn us if they originate in the US. Those products are not selling and aren’t being restocked. At least the EU are trusted friends. And it isn’t only Canada who have lost the trust of the US. The rest of the world feels the same. Except for maybe Russia, India, and North Korea.
  6. Most products shipped into the US will be affected, because most hobby products are imported to the US. Since Trump has placed tarrifs on most of the world, most products will increase at least 25%.
  7. Because Trump doesn’t understand how tariffs work, they are paid by the country who imposes them. I don’t bring anything back from the States except for the odd t-shirt. Everything is far too expensive in the States, there was a time deals were to be had, but those date back to the 90s. Even gas is more costly in the States. The only way Trump could open the USMCA was to make this false claim. By saying the border is threatened. There is no Canada/US border problem. 46 lbs of fentanyl was linked to Canada in the past year. A
  8. Do you have any idea what you just posted in regards to foreign aid to Canada? Those numbers are tiny. And most that money went to US companies operating in Canada.
  9. We don’t have a socialist government nor have we lost any freedoms. If you think we have lost our freedoms I suggest you book a trip to Gaza, Syria, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, or most African nations.
  10. I know most Americans do not know the extent that Trump is threatening our sovereignty in Canada, this outline is from a friends Facebook page that he updates daily: “One thing I've learned over the past few weeks, and it's been a bit of a sobering lesson, is that a lot of Americans I know don't actually know what's going on between the US and Canada right now, and just how seriously Canadians are taking this. So, against my better judgement, here's a timeline to explain why we're here, and why we're angry. Nov 30th, 2018 - The United States, Canada and Mexico finalize a trade
  11. Won’t affect me in Canada, I rarely order from the US, USPS shipping is far too expensive, it is cheaper for me to order from Hannants or Europe. And given most products don’t originate from the US, no tarrifs for me.
  12. Awesome, I remember those jets on our base when the US was friends with Canada.
  13. Very nice, looks like a shrunk down real Blackhawk.
