canada is clearly not getting a free trade agreement from the united states, which is what we signed up for in the 80s. they put tariffs on softwood lumber, they're trying to fuck with our dairy industry and now they're threatening a 25% flat tariff, which is just a 25% tax. that's not free trade.

i think canada should tell the americans that if they don't want to respect their trade agreements then we're not interested in signing agreements with them and tell them that we're going to pull out of reciprocity flat out for the next four years and reapproach the issue when a new president gets elected.

that would include dissolving the oil export agreements for the next four years.
