>Freeland says lifting U.S. tariffs must be part of ratification of new NAFTA
>Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland is linking the lifting of "absurd" U.S. tariffs on Canadian and Mexican steel to the ratification of the new North American free-trade deal.
>Last June, the Trump administration introduced 25 per cent tariffs on imported steel and 10 per cent tariffs on imported aluminum.
>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland have both called the move illegal and unjust, and introduced $16.6-billion in retaliatory tariffs targeting everything from maple syrup in Maine to Bourbon in Kentucky.
>Canada has aggressively lobbied the White House, as well as anyone who has influence with U.S. President Donald Trump in the hopes of getting the tariffs lifted.
>But multiple sources say there has been little progress in that effort, and that Trump is quite pleased with himself and his tariffs.

Canada is refusing to ratify NAFTA 2.0 aka USMCA because Freeland is demanding Trump drop his steel and aluminum tarrifs (which he won't). Canada is threatening the USA with new tarrifs on toilet paper, maple syrup, jam, etc, which will FURTHER raise the price of everything leafs buy.
On top of that, on April 1st, a new carbon tax came into effect that literally increased the price of everything from gasoline, food, transportation, heating, etc.
>1. Impose Carbon tax fucking everyday Canadians
>2. Impose more tarrifs on the cost of everything for Canadians
>3. Kill NAFTA effectively destroying the Canadian economy
>4. ????
>5. PROFIT
