TARIFF - taxes imposed on imported goods.
Tariffs are actually been around since 1789 in the United States of America and it is not just happening as if it is such a morbid event. It was under US Pres. George Washington when the proverbial tariff (15%) was known to have evolved. Then former US Pres. William McKinley had enforced tariff just the same. However, he was assassinated for such. Former US Pres. Herbert Hoover also enforced tariff for 20% on imported goods.
US Pres. Trump imposed tariff in 2018-2019. Then this year 2025. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premiers of Canada will have to seek tariff conference, face to face with those who care about how huge 25% tariff will cause the lives of Canadians and American consumers. The meeting conference would change or not the implementation or whatever deals they have to make its always be on US Pres. Trump's decision. Is there a sway vote or what?
Let me remind you of what had happened in the past:
1929 the GREAT DEPRESSION caused stock market to collapse. It crashed! The whole world in chaos. Humans are humans... they are not perfect. You know what they will do?
WORLD WAR I & II followed
WORLD WAR II had created millions of jobs for the US. At the expense of millions of lives loss. Though it's not America who started the war. Just that the NAZI's domination had its expansion all over Europe then to Japan then to Philippines. But it must STOP there. PHILIPPINES & its FILIPINOS had their courage & bravery tested so many times and the Americans knew about this that's why most of the members of the Armed Forces in the USA are Filipinos.
GOD FEARING HUMANS the AMERICANS, educated, religious and yet decided to drop the atomic bombs in JAPAN. Truman, Truman the man the president of the United States of America took the fault instead of Oppenheimer...instead of Einstein. Japanese bowed down one by one including their own King and Imperial Army who had done and committed most of the atrocities of war... the war criminals. WORLD WAR II.
TARIFF support the Government works and expansion. The discharge of debts for millions of Americans. The tariff helped and support manufacturers and its workers.The GOLDEN ERA of WWII had the American lands for agricultural purposes. Machinery abound and harvest of crops much easier and in abundance. The US had become powerful in its nation building and had become highly industrial country in the world. Their expansion of world domination had their goods and services flowed freely like milk and honey.
Americans are fearless, strong and free. They are the braves. BUT it's the opposite now...because CANADIANS ARE BECOMING THE BRAVES. Now that the new US Trump Threat of 25% Tariff had causing global initiative to patronize their own goods and services. The US is now currently at 350 MILLION population they can only just maybe have their own goods and services to themselves. Maybe that's the message. But sometimes, when the message is somewhat wrong this time in our generation.
MAYBE US INTELLIGENCE is all over Canada and they can perceive something is fishy within its population. Hmm... lol. They thought they can fool the Americans!!! LOL. THEY KNOW more than you know. BUT YOU KNOW AMERICANS ARE NOT THE ONLY SMARTEST IN THE WORLD. Think about EINSTEIN, he was born in Germany!! He is German. You think he is American?
That's the reason why TARIFFS will be imposed to punish the Canadians!! If until now you don't know why... you are in denial. TRUMP punishing Canadians for Trump's atrocities? Something is wrong! It doesn't makes sense. The people of America should punish a convicted criminal that's the RULE OF LAW.
Unfortunately, I'm here in Canada so... those Government officials wont admit to some mistakes they committed and that's why the pressures had PM and her Finance Minister resigned. Actually they know their mistakes and they have solution to those mistakes according to Ms. Karina Gould. What happened to Karina Gould?
CANADA has 40 MILLION Population and if that's not enough for them to use, utilize and patronize their own resources and if those surplus are over the limit then have a global expansion without Americans to help in the shipping and distribution of those products. Maybe Canadians relied too much on Americans because they are neighbors. And AMERICANS relied on Russia & China too for the rare Earth, for the goods being distributed around the world to its shipping because they have large cargo ships.
BUT IS THAT A PROBLEM? Think about it. Not all country has a resources or sources similar to each other. There are critical minerals that other countries are so envious about. There are countries with abundance in oil and gas but they don't have source of water.
TARIFF IS GOOD ONLY IF ITS FAIR. 25% TARIFF IS JUST TOO MUCH. UNFAIR, UNJUST & Criminal. Trades nowadays are in millions to billions of dollars. Business wont have profit for it will just pay for the tariff. What is business without profit? You think that's charity? Think about this...even charity profited from too many free donations.
And it's a never ending story. I could go on and on and the pages of this blog would be up to limitless and you'll get tired from reading.
CIAO FOR NOW & HAPPY READING.
