US President Donald Trump has today announced massive new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium, while threatening to “shut down” its car industry and saying the best way to end the trade war was for Washington’s ally to be absorbed into the US.
welp rip to the us housing and automobile market. hope you weren’t planning on buying a house or car anytime soon.
Thankfully I have a home and a good car so I am fine but I am pissed because I have nieces and nephews that are entering the world of parenthood and won’t be able to buy a family vehicle or a starter house. This also kills any of my planned home renovations because I won’t be able to afford lumber if the orange turd pisses off the Canadians further and tariffs lumber further.
Can I just say the idea of starter house is seeming really out of touch when most people in the country will never own a home.
