US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

The republican standpoint:
“My position remains unchanged: Tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are a tax hike on Americans and will have damaging consequences for consumers, manufacturers and workers. We should build on our success in overhauling the nation's tax code with complementary trade policies that, rather than favoring one narrow industry, make all sectors of the US economy more competitive. In light of the mounting evidence that these tariffs will harm Americans, I will continue to push the administration to change course.”
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee

The EU response, 25% tariffs on 890 US products, including motorcycles, yachts, jeans, bed linen, tobacco, corn, rice, cranberries, bourbon, peanut butter and orange juice.
http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2 ... 156909.pdf

And a 10% tariff on playing cards.

See if you can trump that. :drink:

The EU measures will primarily punish industries in states that voted for Trump in 2016, which according to EU trade commissionary Cecilia Markström is purely coincidental. :wink:

Shows that Trump is either a) trying to deflect the investigation into Russia b) he really has no idea of what he is doing but loves playing king and having everyone obey him.

No, this is how he runs his businesses.

He ignores what the contracts stipulate, refuses to make good on it, renogotiates to pay cents on the dollars, declares bankrupcy and walks away unscathed while his contractors and business partners go belly up. And then brags about it.

Unfortunately, if he does the same thing in international politics, the USA will end up as his old Atlantic City casinos... :?

Maybe everyone should just calm the hell down!
They say everything happens for a reason. Na! scratch that one. Didn't need to fall off the ruff. (that's a joke).
We actually need a kick in the butt.
We tend to take the easy ways out in Canada and that wasn't always the case.
Besides. He's gonna back off anyways. (one way or another).
Remember; It was an election promise, so why freak now.

We can and should expand industries, open new doors.
Hell: Even start selling our finished products again.
And while I'm at it, (spewing off), we don't need f--king foreign worker programs to do it. :evil:

If it is all about Nafta, why include China and the EU? :hmmm:
Canada just lost its exemption this week. Rather than go through the usual dispute channels, Canada responded with very specific tariffs targeting industries and products from states critical to Trump and his senior supporters. For example chocolate - Hersey Pennsylvania, Trump needs Pennsylvania. Bourbon - Tennessee for similar reasons.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

The G7 summit might become interesting, seeing as Trump has done his best to piss off the other six...
