Those Canadians can be wily. I suspect their first recourse will be to avoid the tariff by shipping aluminium to the U.S. instead of aluminum.

I suspect Canada has gotten uppity since SpaceX has launched Bob and Doug into space and recovered them both safely.

“Any American who buys a can of beer, a soda, a car or a bike will suffer.”

.... Definitely sounds like a threat.

Well, I haven't bought any of those things in years, so I guess I'm ok.

Sadly I live here but I really hate Canada at this point.

The border will open soon and I am moving to Alaska.

Some Canadians aren’t pleased that their CCP subsidies are no longer going to be enough to keep the profits flowing at the expense of American manufacturers and lost American jobs.

Some wealthy Canadians are going to have to go back to earning an honest living.

Why would Trump get protectionist on our ally for a mineral we need here in the US?

Canada seems to be forgetting that they are ONE OF MANY aluminum and bauxite suppliers in the world. The USA has considerable leverage in sourcing its aluminum needs.

Canada only refines aluminum. The bauxite is imported from Jamaica where it is actually mined. Aluminum takes a lot of electricity to refine, and Canada has a lot of cheap hydro power.

We should do with Canada what China is doing with their neighbors - start claiming resource rich territory. To begin, we should remind Canada that all of their Aluminum mines once belonged to the US and therefore should be returned to the US. Then we will move the border 75 miles north.

They are probably acting as an illegal conduit for Chinese aluminum.

This is really a Chinese plan of sending aluminum to Canada to become Canadian ‘aluminum’ to be shipped to the US.
