    This more recent post has some details on the restrictions:

    The source told CBC News the Canadian government was expected to agree to apply steel and aluminum tariffs on all of its trading partners at a rate comparable to what the U.S. has applied (50 per cent).

    However, countries that have a free trade agreement with Canada would be treated differently. In those cases, Canada would have to establish a tariff rate quota, meaning a certain amount of product would be allowed into the country at a lowered tariff rate.

      Ive been trying hard to lose the iq points because the futility of reason in these times has driven me numb and just wanting to go to sleep.

      Can’t talk about fighting back. That’s a no no. Can’t talk about domestic infiltration by enemies of the state. We must focus on unity. Can’t argue against security. Only criminals and pedos dont want to,be surveilled. Can’t buy clean energy or eco anything. Industry must survive.

      Some days i just feel like putting on a vest and doing one last thing that will still make no difference because everyone is asleep and dreaming.

        Well you are on Lemmy rather than Reddit, you appear to be wanting to be surveilled less. May I suggest you get into home labbing, it is a hobby that will give you a little more privacy (or a lot more depending on how far you go). I started years ago with one simple raspberry pi and pihole, time would go by when I would just get board of it and stop using it but that quickly got me back into using it. I would upgrade the system several times in different ways over the years to what I have now; I have 2 pi 5’s (a third which I plan on using as off site backup sooner or later). On top of my two pihole setups (they both do more than just pihole), I have 2 static ip’s so my ISP does less snooping on me as they understand that I have my own firewall they cannot see past, which yes I have a firewall with a customized and hardened vanilla install of openwrt. My plan was to self host my own email, when I discovered it would be a lot harder than a weekend project I got the email package provided by easyDNS, who now hosts my domain name, I have a different email address for everything (service name)_(Saskatchewan specific word)(three random numbers)@reannlegge.ca. EasyDNS’s easymail I would recommend over my old hosting service (Hosthero) any day of the week I can make random emails just on the fly, and if there are not rules for that email address it just goes to the junk.

        Find a new hobby that helps seperate you from being tracked, let it be pihole like I did or something else simpler and start using searxng instead of a commercial search engine.

    Well if nothing else, I’m thankful to the US for vindicating my being a hater for decades.
