Robot, What US state will be most affected by tariffs on Canada?

"Determining which U.S. state will be most affected by tariffs on Canada depends on factors like trade volume, economic reliance on Canadian imports, and the integration of supply chains. Based on available insights, Michigan is likely the state most affected.
Michigan stands out due to its heavy dependence on cross-border trade with Canada, particularly in the automotive sector. The state’s economy is deeply tied to Canada through the production of vehicles and parts, with supply chains crossing the border multiple times—often via the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor. A 25% tariff on Canadian goods (or 10% on energy) would raise costs for these intermediate goods, disrupting manufacturing and potentially increasing consumer prices for cars. Michigan’s proximity to Canada also means it relies on Canadian energy imports, like natural gas, amplifying the impact.
Other states, like Texas (tied to Mexico more than Canada) or Illinois (with refineries processing Canadian crude oil), face risks too, but Michigan’s unique combination of auto industry reliance and trade volume with Canada—over $1.3 trillion annually across the U.S.-Canada border—puts it at the forefront. Posts on X and economic analyses consistently highlight Michigan’s exposure, with its automotive hub status making it especially vulnerable to trade disruptions. While energy-dependent states like New York or crude oil states like North Dakota could see higher prices, Michigan’s economic backbone faces a broader and more immediate hit."

Moral of the story: Michigan’s fcked.

Robot, Who will suffer more, the US or Canada?

"Canada would likely suffer more in relative terms. The US is Canada’s biggest trading partner by far—about 75% of Canadian exports (like oil, autos, and timber) go south. In 2023, Canada exported $421 billion USD worth of goods to the US, while the US sent $204 billion north. That’s a 2:1 ratio favoring the US. Canada’s economy is also smaller—its GDP is around $2 trillion USD, compared to the US’s $27 trillion. A trade war disrupting those exports would hit Canada harder as a percentage of its economy. For example, if tariffs tanked the auto sector (a huge chunk of Ontario’s economy), you’d see job losses and supply chain chaos fast.
The US wouldn’t escape pain, though. Canada supplies 60% of US crude oil imports and a third of its natural gas. Tariffs or border delays could spike energy prices, especially in the Midwest and Northeast. American manufacturers also rely on Canadian parts—think cars and machinery—so costs would rise, and consumers would feel it. But the US has a more diversified economy and bigger domestic market to cushion the blow. Exports to Canada are only about 1.5% of US GDP, versus Canada’s 30% reliance on US trade."


If Rob Ford was still around, this wouldn't happen. He got his crack from Detroit. 

So Trump is freezing all military aid to Ukraine.

He’ll try to force them to consider peace talks.

This is about getting control of the rare earths not peace. The world is already at war and the U.S. is already active in it. The battle grounds have to be laid. The States can’t fight everyone at once. Europe is left to handle Russia. The States is concentrating on the Middle East and southeast Asian shit holes they have been for decades. The war machine is falling into place.

We’ll see.

I hope UK goes to war with Russia just for the internet comments.

If Europe moves on Russia. All bets are off. Trump might attempt to isolate from everybody.

None of this is random. I still think there is a plan behind the scenes.

Trump isn’t on it. The deep state has planned a world war and is trying to move on it. Your PM is right in on it with the rest of the losers in Europe.

They are the ones that are most over run with the Muslims and I notice their media is playing on people being fed up with that.

"..'twas the night before tariffs
and all through the US
around 67% of the population realized
they were in a huge mess
The farmers all counted their potash with fear
of a time very soon when it costs an arm and an ear.."
