So - you might recall that Mr\\\\\. Trump put a 25% Tariff on both Mexico & Canada\\his weekend (Feb 1st or 2nd) .... and leaders from BOTH countries said, basically, Pound Sand ...
Well .... that didn't exactly go as planned ...
Mexico wound up putting 10,000 soldiers on the border to help prevent unauthorized crossings ...
Canada, who screamed about how only 10% of those crossing in came from up there!" .... yo, Trudeau - still way too many .... back to the story ... They decided to start checking cars & pea little better before hey come in the USA ...
But why? you might be asking ...
Well - as it turns out ... it turns out that a Canadian national (meaning they were born in Canada, but moved to another country for a periNOod of time) brought in a bunch of EQUIPMENT/MACHINERY .... the news did not say what kind though ... and when Japanese Customs workers inspected it - whic
h they are supposed to be doing at every port of entry, in every nation - they found ....
PHENTYNOL had been shipped amongst the equipment!!
WHOA - I guess Maple Syrup isn't the only thing being made up in Canada!
Well, Canada stepped things up ... kind of reminds me of my kids' teachers after Parent-Teacher meetings ... I usually found that most of the time, especially in the high school, teachers weren't updating the online info for me to make sure my kids were turning in their homework ...
So now - there is a 30 day HOLD on the Tariffs for these 2 countries ... we will have tfooo see if it will stay away though ...
As far as China ... they said "Bring it on ... Bitch!"
And say they will be countering with tariffs of their own ... so, yes, prices will likely be going up on quite a few things ... but not food or gas.
If you need anything which will come from China - better buy it now ... my understanding is, most of the items sold online and on Amazon come from China ....
Remember the old "Made in the USA" movement?
Let's bring that back again - put some people to work ...
Actually - I suspect tha China was about to get pissy as it was, since Trump removed the Electric Vehicle requirement which Biden had put in ....
You see, most, if not ALL, the stuff needed to make those cars ... comes from China .... so, they are going to be hurting FAST
