Definition of insanity. But who knows, maybe they roll it back and then put them back when someone doesn't genuflect correctly to the king

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he's willing to cut off power supply to the US if President Donald Trump continues with tariffs against Canada.

This will make future Senator Kidd Rock look poorly to his future constituency

If they block the flow of cold air to us next summer we will all cook (silver lining could be decreased corn surplus).

Speaking on Monday to press, Ford said: "If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face. They rely on our energy, they need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard, we’re going to come back twice as hard."

[cfbandyman]

I like Doug Ford's moxy but idk how much he wants to play that hand. Sure cut it off, idk how that will be, retaliated I guess

maybe @Justwin can let employers know they're overreacting?

Businesses, along with investors, do typically overreact to the news cycle. There is a reason a book entitled Predictably Irrational exists.

However, an ADP report about 77,000 jobs being created vs GDP growth swinging from 2.3% to -2.8% are not really comparable.

My inbox currently contains emails from my 4 primary wholesaler or manufacturers that I purchase from. Each email tells me that as of now their products have a 25% tariff surcharge, you
know, just like Dipshit explained how tariffs work to all the dummies.

Yeah, but now you get to charge 25% more. Everyone wins.

I got an email from one of our wholesalers that said not to worry, we will cover all of the tariffs.

They have been overcharging you for a while!

I think the biggest problem of all is that the rates and countries and products impacted seem to change day by day with little rhyme or reason. Makes it almost impossible to plan unless a supplier guarantees they will cover all tariffs (as if they know how they will ultimately end up).

There is no way they have been overcharging. They are less than other wholesalers. The industry that I am talking about is fireworks and it can be different from a lot of other industries.

Part of it is that their wholesale business is there to provide more volume to get better pricing for their retail business. Another part of it is that I imagine they have a lot of stock and don't want to get stuck with it after this year's season. If the tariffs stick around for another year, I would imagine that they will not be covering tariffs for the 2026 season.

Immediately increase tariffs on fireworks.

what a plot twist lol
