Step one of Trump’s evil plan to annex Canada and isolate Quebec. So far it’s all going according to plan. :)

I already have my DVDS sets of Due South and Red Green so I don’t have to worry there.

They are used to pry open markets from which your own products are defended.

US companies pay 25% for every car sold in China. Ergo, we sell no cars in China. China pays no such tariff, nor does Europe.

That’s going to change.

Trump knows that every other country is powerless to hurt us but we can sure hurt them.

You can use rapeseed oil as a substitute for canola. You know, in case of an embargo, or if all the canola plants get attacked by some sort of canola weevil.
