so, the americans just got away with a month of tariffs, and we're not doing anything about it?

as far as i can tell, what they've done is put together an algorithm that will allow for them to impose tariffs for a few weeks, then stop, then reimpose them, then stop - essentially extracting maximum concessions, without dealing with the consequences of retaliation. if we don't stand up for ourselves, they'll keep doing this, indefinitely.

we just got sucker punched, and we seem to be taking it, like the suckers we are.

so, i would call on the international trade minister to either:

(1) introduce unilateral sanctions for a one-month period to recoup losses and indicate that we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of like that or
(2) launch a lawsuit in a world body seeking calculated damages through proper mechanisms.

what we've done is no victory; it merely exposes us to further abuse, at america's whim.

and, tell that idiot evan solomon to shut the fuck up.
