    That’s nice, but it won’t change anything for our boycotts, becasue the boycotts were never about the tariffs.

    Fix your fascist problem, enforce the existing laws that those bastards have been ignoring and make it so they can’t regain control, then we can talk.

      The Supreme Court had already rebuked him on this. However, the Republican Congress was too spineless to do their job and enforce it. Maybe the Democrats will, maybe the Democrats won’t. I’m not placing any bets on it one way or the other.

      “That’s one of the reasons we won Congress back — because we’re going to put an end to these tariffs,” Raskin said.

      “Congress controls taxes and tariffs under the Constitution. Congress regulates commerce internationally and domestically. And so we’re gonna do everything in our power to make it very clear that we have not imposed 50 per cent tariffs on our democratic allies and friends in Canada.”

          I don’t quite agree with that strategy, but I do think we need to keep buying less American and continue the somewhat cold shoulder for a long time. Lets not forget that this shit isn’t new… here in BC we’ve been dealing with BS over softwood lumber for decades.

            America needs to sit in a room alone for 50 years.

              I feel like that would create the version of America in Snow Crash.

          My boycott was never about the tariffs. It was about the threats to Canadian sovereignty.

    Fewer tariffs on Canada! More beautiful tariffs on billionaires!
