Let all Canadian Companies that are doing business with America move to the United States, immediately. Many of them are Companies that moved out years ago due to stupid U.S. Leadership. When you move back, there are no TARIFFS! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    But… He just put even more tariffs. Is he still not aware of how tariffs work?

        But the companies selling those goods don’t pay the tariffs, so how does going to the US avoid tariffs? It would stop the importers/consumers from paying the tariffs, right? Plus, he’s waged tariff wars on every fucking country on the planet. Manufacturing anything in the US would mean paying more tariffs for any material a company would import.

          Your goods are less competitive if they’re tariffed, do you really need me to explain this or are you just pretending not to understand?

              Correct. Except when writing for legal and scientific purposes, most people are imprecise with language and you have to infer what they actually meant. This is a completely normal part of communication, though it comes more naturally for neurotypicals.

                    It’s also useless to protect a pedophile president who is lying about not having tariffs once in the US.
