Anthony Albanese the PM of Australia has got it right, probably the only country that is doing what is best for the working class. They decided to NOT apply reciprocal tariffs even though the US will be applying tariffs on all aluminum and steel.

PM Anthony Albanese said "But he said imposing reciprocal tariffs on the U.S. would only push up prices for Australian consumers and spur inflation".

"Tariffs and escalating trade tensions are a form of economic self-harm and a recipe for slower growth and higher inflation. They are paid by the consumers. This is why Australia will not be imposing reciprocal tariffs on the United States," Albanese added.

He is right. All these tariffs that Canada is applying is counterproductive and they cannot win. In this the working class is the causality while government cashes in.

It's right but Trump doesn't mind his citizens to pay for the tariiffs he impose on others !
What is the difference ?

Your words about Biden that can't find his way off a stage and in France has been proven lectured videos by cheating Republicans. According to Republicans, Biden was not running the contry but Obama was. If true you should aknoledge that it was much better than Trump first presidency.
Biden inherited the disastrous Covid 19 management by Republican Governors who denied the seriousness of it.
Remember also that there was proportionnaly more deaths in the Republican population. Why ? Disbelieve in vaccin (lower vaccinnation % in Republican population).
So go back to 2021 to 2024 and explain what was so bad.
Yes inflation was high not only in USA but across the planet. Was it Biden's fault ?
I know you're to intelligent to think that !
At least I hope so !

Oh please stop trying to spin the lying scumbag Dems and their senile President.
Time for you to face reality and realize most Politicians are lying scumbags and care little for the people who vote for them.
They are only interested in power, fame and money.
It doesn’t matter whether they are Dems or Republicans Biden, Obama or Trump. or our very own Trudeau.
I despise all of them.

Trump is a madman. But we cannot control Trump? Two wrongs do not make a right. Politicians should do what is best for the working class. Imposing reciprocal tariffs will only put the costs on the consumer, the working class is collateral damage. Best option is to diversify to other markets. Let this be a lesson for all governments not to rely too much on one country for trade. And also for the Canadian government to be pragmatic and not ideological like the Trudeau government has been. Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world. Time to build the east pipeline and export oil east and to Europe. That is a win win for Canada.
