No Cheque

Got mine and used part of it to go to an OHL game against a US team. Didn’t need to boo, the choir singing the US anthem did an excellent job murdering it and I’m reasonably sure they did it on purpose as the Canadian one went just fine!

He signed the order. They start June 1. Signing the order was the childish part. Retracting it over and over causes him to lose credibility every time. At some point he will need to let some stick or people will completely ignore him as a blustery fool. Adults would have had the negotiation in private without the tantrum and signed orders.
 
Got my cheque yesterday.

Used it to pay for a return flight to Florida -- $208CAD on a Canadian airline.

I'll do my part by convincing Americans that that tariffs are bad.

I can always take the public pulse by visiting a weekend flea market in Florida. Reading the hats, tees, hoodies, and flags tells you what people are thinking and accepting.

I haven't been down since the inauguration so I haven't got first-hand knowledge - I'll see first hand when I get there Sunday. My wife can work remotely, so she's already been there for a week she reports:
  • Trump is getting more love than usual
  • Elon is a hero, his son X is a president in training.
  • The hottest items at the flea market last weekend were DOGE, and Gulf of America themed.

I think if you read into the details, his order is 'Reciprocal Tarrifs', meaning if a country has tariffs on incoming American goods, there will be reciprocals for their goods entering America.
  • The EU has a 31% on all motorcycles manufactured in the USA. Compare that to the USA's 2.4% tariff on Euro cycles over 250cc, and 4.4% on smaller bikes.
  • The EU has a 10% tariff on passenger cars and 22% on light trucks imported from the USA. The USA charges 2.4% on cars and 25% on light trucks and SUVs. Don't think Trump hasn't figured out that Audi, MB and BMW build the SUVs and trucks they sell in into the USA in the USA or MX-- otherwise, they can't be competitive.
There are also a lot of non-tariff protections that factor into the equation for Canada & Europe. Most countries try to protect trade with regulation (i.e. Supply management systems, Euro emissions specs, different agricultural standards) until those get met, they use tariffs as a last resort.

The steel/aluminum and reciprocal tariffs are two different orders. He signed the steel/aluminum order on Feb 11. He signed the reciprocal tariff order today.
