I don't know if it's new. But even if it is, the stock market puked 1.5% overnight on the risk of the tariffs....to put that in perspective, the S&P alone has a total value in the 50 Trillion dollar range. Stocks losing 1.5% of that (750B) so that Trump could secure a 200 million dollar "win" would be the most pyrrhic victory in history. Also, the "win" is the Canadian government doing what it's doing now....but spending another 200 million dollar (over an undetermined amount of time...20 million a year x 10 years??) to do it. Woooo!!!
Tell your friends that they're idiots, and if necessary, introduce me and I'll tell them.
