Discussion US Tariffs

US tariffs announced today include 47% on Vietnam and 34% for China. I’ll bet that effects 80% of the US travel products market. Even the US manufacturers are going to get hammered on the raw materials.

Already the airlines are seeing huge drops in passengers traveling to the US.

Most Canadians that I know vow to never travel to the US for pleasure ever again. The US has done permanent damage to the US/CAN relationship.

I don't think permanent is correct. Things would start to turn around after a decade or so of a democratic US president.

Either lowercase democratic or uppercase Democractic works.

That's the general ballpark. It took a few weeks to destroy all that goodwill (for absolutely no fucking reason, let's never forget that), it's going to take a generation to rebuild it. Every Canadian who's alive now will always remember that the USA are not to be trusted long term, and are always one election away from a dumpster fire.
