Rupa Subramanya- ‘I Don’t Think My Business Can Survive These Tariffs’

Small businesses are especially at risk. In 2022, 81.8 percent of Canadian small business exports went to the United States. These companies are so dependent on cross-border trade that Trump’s 25 percent tariff, coupled with Canada’s retaliatory tariffs, will likely affect 82 percent of them, according to a survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

  1. I am really worried that it will hit me hard, too. I don’t export, but all my clients will be affected.

    1. A 10% tariff on oil exported to the US, correct?

      I think 10% variability in the price of oil is around half of what the market has seen over the past 4 years. So when the world market sets the price of oil at $62 they can survive, but when Trump forces some suppliers to sell oil at $62 they can’t survive?

  2. Let’s get real, JT has no idea what harm his pseudo-macho posturing will do the Canadian economy and nor does he care.

    1. Trudeau is a degenerate compulsive liar, but, NOW the sheeple want to believe him.
      Oy vey. Those Covid shots caused brain damage to the masses.

    2. Oh, he knows full well, Frances. So you’re wrong about that. However, you are dead right about the “nor does he care” part.

  3. The Marxist-Fascists HATE small business. They didn’t give a shit when they used COVID to destroy small business … yet do nothing to Target or Walmart. Your far-left government won’t give a shit again about small businesses. Your lame duck Dear Leader will ignore small business … he doesn’t care.

    Why does the far-left HATE small business? Because they are operated by independent entrepreneurs. People who don’t NEED mommy government. And people who can write off a LOT of business expenses on their taxes. The leeches in government simply HATE that. Independent businesses also pay quarterly taxes … and the Deep Staters HATE that a lot.

    1. Yup,
      And replace your term “small business” with “small people” and derive the same truth.
      They hate us, but we hate them more.
      The difference is whose hate is righteous, and whose is not.

  5. Sorry, Canadians.

    You know, if Alberta and Sask were to become U.S. States, they wouldn’t have to worry about the tariffs.

      1. Yes, that would work. At least the US would have a real country along a good stretch of the Northern border.

        Alberta and Saskatchewan would also have to defend their Eastern and Western borders from illegal libs trying to sneak across. Controlled immigration would be an attractive feature.

      2. Why would the US want Alberta and Saskatchewan?

        Well, an awful lot of oil and gas and potash etc. Small population which probably won’t affect the balance of power.

        And then, Alberta might actually want the US …

        “JS Bach Lover”, in an earlier post, linked to this substack post from … some guy … which references a Peter Zeihan (I’m not a fan, but he sometimes makes interesting arguments) which argues that Alberta would be the richest state in the Union if they joined …

        I guess Connor McDavid would still wrap his stick in rainbow tape and play for Team Trudeau at the Olympics, though. No gains there.

    3. Obvious outcome. I suspect that is what the premier of Alberta ment when she said ‘national unity crisis’. That was just after dinner with The First Citizen at Mara Lago, if I recall. Just a matter of time as Justin makes things worse faster. Spring, maybe. You might want to brush up on that Yankee constitution thing. Each state gets two senators, etcetera. You should be getting ready for this, before the Toronto-Montreal lampreys figure it out.

  6. Businesses, the Chambers of Commerce at every level, and the people that work for them don’t really care.

    If they go belly up, they go belly up.

    And that’s a better outcome than going to the trouble of asking voters to vote for grownups.

    None of this matters to the residents of this place, they’re more than willing to cough up dollars.

  7. Not to worry, the Canadian government will print 200 billion dollars and distribute it with a snowblower. We already have a 60 Billion deficit, and a debt of 1.6 trillion you say? Don’t worry serf, this is big math, we’ve got it figured out, they’ll say. Get ready for inflation 2.0, and $20 bacon.

      1. Not normally nutty, but he can’t afford to let Trudeau win the Testosterone Derby in front of Canadian voters.

    2. Pathetic and a weak copycat of Derp’s threats.
      Waldo just lost the election. TruDOPE Lite.
      The Uniparty strikes again!

    3. PP is proving that what I always say about our conservatives, eventually they show themselves to be liberal lite.

  9. President Donald J. Trump gives an update on the tariff disagreement…

    “BREAKING: Trump on Fox News—he’s furious with Canada
    He disagrees leadership: Something’s going happen there
    Then he drops the hammer:
    If they want to play games, let’s play. I’m going to retaliate even further
    This just got a lot worse”

    https://x.com/MarcNixon24/status/1886232323219505166

    Remember, the President isn’t one for saying “x” … he’s more for saying “x”… and returning in a few days with “XY” … and if that doesn’t work it’ll be “xyz”
    He wrote a book about negotiating, “Art of the Deal”
    Have any of the #Libranos read it?

    James O’Keefe gives consistent responses to those who call him out in his leading video, he allows your denial, then shows a 2nd video allowing the respondent to deny again and perhaps they’ll complain of being taken out of context … then he’ll release the 3rd video showing either criminal intent, or denying they’re lying while lying some more about their lying.
    Have any of the #Libranos heard of James O’Keefe?

    lol…

    1. If President Donald J. Trump is serious, and it may be only a negotiating tactic, then we’ve entered into the FOFO period prior to even entering into the initial gambit.

      It’s disheartening to see Pierre Poilievre agree that tariffs against the USA, which Canadians will pay, is the way forward. Though I suppose it does take the heat off of the next carbon tax increase of nearly 15% on April 1 2025. Though it probably won’t matter if you don’t have the funds for rent.

      1. Poilievre is engaging in realpolitik. He doesn’t want to hand the Liberals a lifeline with their anti-Trump rhetoric.

        2. I agree. That’s exactly what he’s doing, but IMHO that is not what a real leader would do.
          A REAL leader would have condemned the retaliatory tariffs, demand that parliament return, and demand that the government negotiate with the U.S.
          PP is showing weakness, not strength, in agreeing with the retaliatory tariffs. He is Lie-beral lite, but as I keep saying over and over again, he’s the only one that can take the government’s foot off of the gas pedal, and slow this bus down before it goes over the cliff… maybe give us a little time to actually change direction.

          1. I can’t pretend I’m paying close attention to my idiot nation’s “leadership crisis”, but how long is the Freeland/Carney puppet show supposed to play out for?

          2. Or a surfing day.
            Its not like there is any pressing need for further negotiation with Trump or any focus placed on identifying alternative markets.

          1. There’s an expedited court hearing on the challenge against proroguing parliament. If successful, parliament may be forced to resume sitting earlier than expected, putting Trudeau at the helm when in the first opportunity, a motion of non-confidence is successful, which would force the turd to be the lie-beral party leader going into the general election. Now wouldn’t THAT be a pip? There’s precedent too? It could happen, although realistically, with this Canadian “judicial” system, I wouldn’t be too optimistic.
            Ain’t Canadian politics fascinating?

        1. “We’re all going to take it in the a** together.”

          Trudeau thinks he’s negotiating with Obama.

    2. Canadian leaders are all insane.
      We are faced with a man in the driver’s seat of the planet’s most powerful economy, the planets most powerful military, and isn’t afraid to use them. He’s playing hardball while we’re playing T-ball.
      The only sensible thing to do is to say “uncle” and start negotiating like our lives depend on it.
      The only party leader who can see this is Maxime.

      1. “The only sensible thing to do is to say “uncle” and start negotiating like our lives depend on it.”

        At this point, absolutely. Trudeau was given a chance to avoid these tariffs by stopping the manufacture of fentanyl in Canada and the smuggling of it (and people) across the border to the USA. He REFUSED to do so.

        Instead, he decided to talk tough about imposing our own tariffs and pretend that Canada could possibly win a trade war with the USA. He is AN IDIOT.

        “The only party leader who can see this is Maxime.”

        That’s the sad part: Bernier is the only one willing to stand and and speak the truth, but Poilievre in fact *knows full well* that Canada will suffer badly in this exchange…he’s just too cowardly to say so. ‘Realpolitik’, in this case, is Poilievre covering his own ass at the expense of all Canadians (sorry Art).

        As I’ve said before, a real leader would step up and tell the Canadian public the truth, and when the other parties and the news media pounced on him and called him a “Trump lover” and accused him of “selling out Canada”, he would calmly and clearly tell them that he was no such thing. He would then patiently explain to them just how BATSHIT CRAZY the idea of entering a trade war with the Americans was and how Canada would be much better off to simply attack the fentanyl trade and crack down on the smugglers.

        That’s what a real leader would do. Poilievre is not a real leader.

  10. Fact: Liberals are tied to the drug trade. See all their free opioid “harm reduction” programs, crack-pipe selling vending machines, etc.
    Fact: Liberals are tied to the Chines gov’t. See all the CSIS and RCMP reports of our patsies in parliament.
    Fact: Canadian municipal police forces and the CSA are involved in sex-trafficking.

    That being said, Trump is also putting a 25-100% tariff on Taiwanese chips, and they sure as hell ain’t bringing drugs and criminals into the USA. I think we may be seeing a new status-quo being born, which may allow Trump to leverage the US market enough to get rid of the IRS and income tax.

  11. Someone should ask Dealer McDope if there’s a strong business case for exporting nat gas to Europe and Japan, NOW??!!

    Dumb Shmuck!

    1. Yeah. The Maxime groupies are liberals to the core, traitors who hide behind an incompetent politician to spread their evil.
