Disappointed to not see Tesla on the list. Target the oligarchs behind this.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 minute ago

Just immediately stop sending electricity and oil. At any price.

It would do less damage to the Canadian economy than these tariffs and be resolved a lot sooner.

I want to apologize to you guys. I’m sorry you’re forced to suffer for my country’s stupidity voting in this dipshit. You don’t deserve this.

I do love that your government is clapping back against the bully, because only terrible things follow when you appease fascists.

But it’s regular Canadians getting squeezed in the middle as a consequence. For both our sakes I hope this ends soon

[–] wyrmroot@programming.dev 1 points 28 minutes ago

I feel the same way. On the one hand, there’s nobody else I’d rather have slap sense into us than one of our closest allies. But average Canadians don’t deserve to be wrapped up in our godawful drama. Here’s hoping they can hit us hard enough to get back on the right track sooner rather than later.

I guess I’ll just skip those items

Realizes it’s almost all food

Well shit… at least I don’t need sand anytime soon.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 24 minutes ago

I'm sure you can find food that isn't imported from the US.

Video game consoles

Seems like this is limited to arcade machines and playing cards.

  • Other games, operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by other means of payment, other than automatic bowling alley equipment

  • Playing cards

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Fair. I was tired of scrolling on a touch screen by that point. Didn't look too closely

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That seems less targeted than I had expected.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

TBH I'm in favour of a full embargo. Halt trade altogether.

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
  • eggs (if you may add it to the great list)
[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)
  • Dairy Products

Eggs, milk, cheese, butter, all of it.

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Eggs are not part of dairy products. Sorry.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

every store I've been in puts them next to milk, followed by yogourt and cheese and above huge letters only say dairy, so maybe people assume based on that? Still odd to me that anyone would try to blanket term it with dairy

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I always forget those are actually separate. I was taught in school that eggs were dairy and have never broken that stupid memory :/

[–] bubblewrap@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

What part of the cow do the eggs come from? 😉

These are all digital services. Europe has strong data protection and privacy regulation. The US tech billionaires throwing in their lot with the Trump administration gives them plenty of leverage if push comes to shove.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 23 points 5 hours ago

Debating heading out to stock up on deodorant and other storable goods. Not that I want to buy American right now, just that historically domestic alternatives simply raise prices to match the tarrif product prices in an effort to profit take.

I also love the NDP idea to target the techbro CEOs by putting a halt on critical minerals exports to the USA.

Tariff Item No. 1205.10.00

Rape from the US is now being taxed. I guess I'll just stick with Canadian rape, keep it local.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

One of the worse named plants of all time, thanks Latin.

And that's why we renamed it "Canada oil" aka Canola

[–] bubblewrap@sh.itjust.works 2 points 34 minutes ago

Canada Oil Low Acid, to be precise.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 hours ago

Well, part of the reason. "Canola" is really only the edible variant, which is now a bit more than fifty years old. Older cultivars contained large amounts of erucic acid, which apparently is neither tasty nor very good for you.

I don't know whether anyone still grows the non-canola rapeseed cultivars as a cash crop.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Thanks, I could not understand what they were talking about 😂

spoilerI thought this was about Loblaws "raping" their consumer's wallets rather than getting it "raped" by Amazon or something.
