Wouldn’t we all starve if the farmers didn’t get their welfare?

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: most of that "welfare" doesn't wind up in the hands of farmers anyway.

“As of early 2026, Canada has reversed its 2024 policy by cutting tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) from 100% to 6.1%, allowing up to 49,000 units annually (rising to 70,000 over five years). This strategic pivot aims to lower consumer costs and boost investment, differing significantly from the stricter U.S. approach.


Key Details on the 2026 Shift
Tariff Reduction: In January 2026, the Canadian government reduced the 100% tariff on Chinese-made EVs to 6.1%, matching a "most-favored-nation" rate.”

Did Carney consult Unifor before implementing this?

Really curious to see what percentage of Chinese EVs at 6.1% tariffs are actually on the road during the Canadian winter. The U has a fleet of EVs, with which, to virtue signal during the warmer months, coincidentally, when most of the kids aren’t there.

Best,
Ted

You think this is some kind of "gotcha" moment with me. Nice try moron.

Canadians are idiots. Our government are idiots. Canadians are traitors to that which made them wealthy. I live in a failed state. I know far more about this than you ever should. Chirping from the sidelines as a know nothing with a big mouth isn't a good look, LR. Probably too late for you to change. Now, as Ted suggested, I'll let you continue to act the fool at least until Easter.

Canvasback why are you resorting to calling people names? This is what gets threads locked. If you can't behave don't post on my threads.

[quote=Geoff Roznak][quote=Tim in PA][quote=Geoff Roznak]There's a few at project it onto others because they think it camouflages what they are. There are examples here in the last few day




FWIW, I know bunches of Democrats who are staunch 2A supporters, and even more independents who are.

Name One ??????????

It is a good thing, that you are versed in hypocrisy. I know those same democrats and independents, and they vote anti 2A.

How cute, you think that your opinion of how another American votes matters.
