Perustin pyöräilyvaatteita valmistavan ornotin vuonna 2013. Mielestäni parasta Shopifessa on se, että voimme harjoittaa liiketoimintaa ilman teknistä osaamista. Voimme hallinnoida yrityksen taustajärjestelmiä ja frontendiä sekä myydä verkossa. Vaivatta. Jos Shopify olisi pyöräilyvaruste, se olisi mielestäni itse polkupyörä. Sillä asiat hoidetaan ja meidän liiketoimintamme hoituu Shopifessa. Alloita ilmainen kokeilla. shopify.com-sivustolla

Canada's retaliatory tariffs have just taken effect as we were all sleeping. $27.6 billion. We're looking at aluminum, iron, furniture, clothing, potentially dairy, and other products that originate in Canada. Now, interestingly, can Canadian businesses are severely hurt by this as well, and they are struggling because Trump has basically said, you do not just get to have direct access to the American market. You are not the United States of America. And of course, this means that there's going to be challenges for the US economy. Now, one big question I often bring up, one thing I think you all need to understand. We get our aluminum from Canada. The question is why? I want the environmentalists that may be watching this to comment and tell me why.

Canada imports bauxite from China and other countries. They bring it to Canada, where they operate refineries to create aluminum and then sell it to the United States. Now the issue is the United States has its own bauxite mines, and there's nothing stopping the United States from building aluminum refineries. The issue is at some point, and for some reason, politically, Our government, the Canadian government, cut a deal. We would get rid of American aluminum production manufacturing, give it to Canada. Why? To help the economy, to create Canadian jobs, as it were. Now the argument is that Canadians will work cheaper than Americans will. But that's not entirely the case these days. All that's happened is the US has become dependent on aluminum from Canada because we can't make our own anymore.

And this has resulted in conflict. But let's read the news, give you the quick breakdown, and talk about the current state of the economy on this beautiful Tuesday morning. I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Canada's retaliatory tariffs worth twenty seven point six billion take effect as trade rift with US deepens. The duties range from fifteen to fifty percent across hundreds of US products with a total of twenty seven point six billion, including dairy, agricultural equipment, paper, household appliances, and electronics. Canadian tariffs on US steel, aluminum, and iron products doubled to fifty percent, while furniture, motorbikes, clothing, and some beauty products were among the goods hit with the highest rate.

That's what's interesting. Канада недс морям. The United States is massive, the large population, and we could establish our own refineries. We just have to start building them. Now Canada, of course. Th this this imbalance, this trade imbalance should not exist. We have artificially manufactured a trade imbalance, and this is the failure of the past 30 years. Now, by all means, my friends, you can rag on Trump all day and night. It's who he is, right? But there is still one point to be made. Why did the United States give up its independence? Dare I say? Uncertain goods. Uncertain goods. You see, the political class, some thirty so uh so so or so years ago, decided we need to create dependencies to prevent conflict.
Tim Pool 3:48
Seriously, this was the strategy of the liberal economic order. Established after World War II, create economic dependencies so that people can't fight each other. And thus, the US got rid of its own capabilities, had Canada set it all up so that we would be in this exact position, that Canada could then have leverage over us, despite the fact they've got nothing we need. Ninety-some odd percent of Canadians live, what is it like the overwhelming majority of Canadians, like ninety-plus? percent are within what sixty to ninety miles of the US border.
