[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8884501, member: 673702"] Here's some interesting points in regards to Canadian Tariffs. Saudi/OPEC seems to be more willing to let the oil flow, which means we could hypothetically tariff Canadian Petro without seeing a big increase in petro prices in the US. Furthermore, the tariff would have the added benefit of "artificially" inflating Saudi oil prices, which benefits the Saudis, Israel and the US. Additionally, if Trump can help negotiate peace in Ukraine, Russian oil comes off the grey/black markets and oil prices drop. Additionally, US exports account for ~20% of Canadian GDP, so lets not pretend that Canada has the leverage in this negotiation. Ultimately, I think they'll figure out a win-win compromise without resorting to a trade war. Of course the left will portray that win-win compromise as a loss for Trump. Reminds me of the 2022 GOP who tried to run "stolen election" and "stolen election" solely and paid the price at the polls. But Trump and the GOP learned from that mistake, I don't see the Dems learning from this election. [/QUOTE]
