   Superbowl in 10 days, and my avocado prices already doubled last week here in FL.
   I’ll be watching those as barometers.

   Well, I am deeply saddened.
   At first, I understood the rationale for the tariffs. I still do. It’s true, we do have a problem with drugs up here and we do have a problem with uncontrolled immigration. And I understand that this was to have been a way to get our (incompetent leftist) political leaders on board with a vision to make North America a better place than it currently is.
   Unfortunately our so-called leaders have decided on the approach of you hit me and I’ll hit you harder. I wish they would have gone with negotiating and back and forth. But they didn’t.

   No, what saddens me is that this is one more thing to divide us. I used to feel a kinship with anyone, American or Canadian or, heck, anywhere in the world who was “one of us” in terms of thinking. But then I read the attached Zero Hedge article in this post. And it seems the same Americans with whom I thought I shared a common vision are now resorting to things like “50% of Canadians elected a commie government. They need us to take them over” “Canada is a useless country. Tax ’em harder and let them come begging to the US”

   Okay, I’m female, I’m more emotional. But I am sitting here crying, because Columbia and I were all excited about an upcoming Trader Joe’s run to Bellingham, and now I’m thinking do I really want to come to a country and spend $$ (with an exchange rate that’s falling off a cliff) where the Democrats hate me and wanted me punished because I espoused Trump’s views and now the Trump supporters hate me and want me punished because of my government? Gawd, I can’t win

   Trump’s mission with these tariffs was to get our governments to clean up their act and come to an agreement. Sadly, a side effect has been to drive yet another wedge between people who were once on common ground.

     Plus 1 Long road to crash and burn yet. City Hall needs a draining as well, tired of being their ATM for the dream projects.

   I refuse to succumb to TDS. Damn, I now have to take down my US flag to prevent broken windows. My response to the possibility of a lower CAD was to trade my loonies for more physical Au and Ag.

   The US under Trump must win against the insanity of Net-Zero, wokeness and the destruction of Western Civilization.
   If Canada and Mexico are punished for our collective insanity in the short-term so be it.

   Trump knows we will come to the table with an approach that will make sense. The tit for tat retaliation only harms both countries.
   Mexico did nothing to stop the southern invasion and Canada is a major source of drugs apparently. The drug cartels basically run Mexico and likely Arizona.

   Trump knows our country is in chaos with no leader.

   If Trump successfully changes the US Federal government, just think what may rub off when the Conservatives are in power later this year.

     Columbia — agree with your assessment.

     Could be a rough 2025 though — we don’t exactly have “skilled” leaders negotiating on behalf of citizens.

     This distraction “will” enable the Liberals to hide their years of ongoing scandals and incompetence and use the DJT turmoil to muddy the water of the next election.

     Carney’s role as “golden boy” for the WEF will also be hidden amongs’t the smoke.

     The Liberal/NDP pact significantly damaged Canada’s reputation & Trump is taking advantage of the vacuum that they have caused.
