U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he would put a three-day pause on 50 per cent tariffs that would have hit an array of Canadian goods just after midnight Wednesday.
The two governments are now finalizing the language of the deal.
Ya’ll elected the corrupt banker and now act surpised that hes a corrupt banker 🤣
Elbows up! All Trumpy has to do is threaten more tariffs, and Canada capitulates. Works every time, so why wouldn’t it work the next time?
Sold Canada out again. Sob!
Stop bowing to Trump Carney! Show some back bone!
I laughed and laughed and laughed some more at all the elbow people
Could we just stock California wine? It would amount to a 50% reduction in the alcohol ban much like there was a 50% reduction in steel and aluminum tarrifs.
I don’t have a problem with California. Kentucky eat a bag of Richards.
It warms my heart to see the elbozos up crowd is triggered by this announcement. 🤣
Carney wants lots of options for Canadians to get plastered so he can reveal how badly he waffled on the U.S. trade deal.
As someone who hates this government, and everything “Ottawa”, I should be pleased that Carney will be pilloried by the simple-minded “elbows up” crowd.
It pains me to admit he’s done the right thing – ignoring the political costs in favor of doing the best thing for Canada.
And not simply because I am now free to buy bourbon in British Columbia.
So put it back. I, and many others, won’t be buying it.
Lynn, so you will eat cabbage and carrots, and maybe apples but just 2 months of the year.
@ JasonLawson your comment is spot on and I agree 💯. In my opinion there is no deal verbal/written that can ever be trusted from the U.S. , the U.S. has already proven this. Very little information on what Canada is actually getting/ giving in this so called temporary deal, which will always be temporary with Trump in office. I will not buy American anything regardless, including travel, this is a permanent decision for myself.
I don’t even drink but I’ll be buying American alcohol whenever I need to give a gift. Canadians have lost the plot.
You can put American alcohol back on the shelves, but you can’t make us buy it!
So rather than continuing on this diversification of our international trade, the liberals are caving to Trump and his cronies? I will believe we got a respectable deal when we aren’t bargaining with a 50% bad faith tariff deadline being held against us.
Yeah, I am going to show how patriotic I am by not buying twice as much as I normally don’t buy.
I think it is time I take the vaccination selfie off my bio and add a photo of me not buying American alcohol.
Yayyy bring on the pink Whitt I’m almost out!!
Carney got bent over like we knew he would, word has it his elbows were still up.
We just won’t buy it.
Keep the boycott! We Canadians can keep it going. Dont forget, businesses won’t stock US booze if we arnt buying it. I still think our PM would support his citizens by keeping booze OUT!
Go ahead and stock the US alcohol. You dont have to buy it. I know I won’t.
I do not care if US booze is on the shelves as it all tastes awful anyway!
If you hate all Americans and all American made goods because of one man… You are full of hatred and it’s sad… Because hatred is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
They can stock it. We still won’t buy it
NOT GOING TO BUY IT !!
NO.!!
My Elbows are up and it didn’t do anything expect turn me gay.
Carney already caved and they don’t even have a deal signed yet.
The new Liberal catch phrase is
“A bad deal is a good deal”.
Carney just sold us out
Ford will not want to give back all those cases he has in his basement beside his fully stocked bar.
Carney bent over and kissed the MAGA ring. Elbows Up a total joke.
Carney caved yet again
Not really a surprise af this point
Been drinking Bourbon from Day 1. Alberta took the “ban” away long ago. We were not Elbows Up
Lol. Carney has bent over for Trump. Where is Elbows Up? What a poseur.
