They keep saying blame Trump but I don’t see anyone in America doing anything about this at all. He’s got all their balls in a jar under his sink in Maralago or something.

America was great in the 50s and 60s because Europe was destroyed from WW2 and China and India weren't producing anything.
Trump thinks he can recreate the America of the 50s and 60s he's delusional.

Not in Manitoba, but in Ontario, my dude works at a place that manufactures parts and they had an American order with the instructions of the parts needing to be done by a specific date because they refuse to pay tariffs on the parts.
So there is probably a lot of products that ain't moving or being produced in Canada because of this crap.

It’s ok. donnie says they don’t need anything from Canada. “We are so great, so very great, and respectable.”
In addition to no trucks, there are almost no tourists. The malls in Grand Forks, Fargo, and Minneapolis have fewer Canadians which the Mericans just love. Elbows up. 🇨🇦

I'm a welder in Alberta, we're trying to get almost $300,000 worth of product built and shipped by next week to try and avoid tariffs.

I'd imagine restaurant workers are starting to see similar slow downs. Wife and I dined at one of our favourite spots last night, and it's usually packed. They were at ~1/3 capacity.

I guess the fentanyl crackdown is working. Canada is no longer shipping truckloads to the US. /s
Seriously though, not good. It means Americans are not buying.

We will not see number that hurt until Q2, everyone I talk to in the West is not doing any purchasing unless they have to. Our Q1 will be soft as hell, so I imagine other are in the same boat.

So, this means that Trump’s tariffs are working. If goods from Canada are not going to the States, businesses there will have to import from somewhere else or they will have to create these products in the USA. That’s what Trump wants. It is very concerning that his tariffs are already working for him.
