Carney has ended the negotiations and recalled the team back to Ottawa after the US tried to insert unreasonable demands at the last minute. Also dollar for dollar retaliatory tariffs have been enacted. Fuck you orange shit stain.

let's see the USA restock all the wasted military equipment without rare earth material, aluminum or lumber
who would have thought a rapist, child molester, convicted fraudster could be a good president? Muricans apparently… enjoy the hell you voted for
I've recently realized one thing: I now use Interac to pay instead of my credit card. Using the credit card is like paying a tax that sends money straight to the US. I hope more people do so.
I hope they bring back the electronic services tax.
What annoys me is the lack of appetite amonst CAD banks/POS companies in creating their own credit card to break free from Mastercard/VISA. I'm not sure how it's going in Europe, I thought WERO was going to do something.
It blows my mind that the use of US credit cards continues. Interac charges somewhere around 0.1-0.2% transaction fee. Meanwhile American credit cards charge 2-3%. They give you 1% as "rewards" to give you the impression that you're not being robbed and they pocket the rest.
Knowing that, I now fully respect vendors who charge a credit card fee to their customers instead of forcing everyone to pay for it through blanket higher prices.
My biggest gripe from living in CO was the fact I had to use debit to buy cannabis because Visa and Mastercard wouldn’t handle dispensary business south of the border. Anyways, use interac, save the 3% fee, and take solace that no one is harvesting your info (except your big 5 bank).
What? Someone please educate me. I “always” use MC to pound points. I always pay CC off every month. How is this sending money to U.S.??
MasterCard & Visa charge a merchant fee to the seller, meaning a percentage of each transaction made using these cards goes to the American credit companies directly, thereby contributing to the US economy.
Looks like carney is ok with braking off from us trade now. Good, finally done with this nonsense.
You won't accept my deal, so I'm going to tax my own citizens!
Not surprised, just disappointed. Both our economies would benefit. I think trump profits from them and so all this economic sabotage benefits him somehow.
If the current situation lasts for decades. How long until there’s economic refugees hopping the border. Would the liberals just open the doors and Canada becomes more of a swamp?
