    ... dumb analogy. The USA will catch a cold and Canada will trade elsewhere.

    I will give you some small analogies. Canadian greenhouses cannot keep up with the demand as Canadians shun US pre-packaged salads. Canadians are buying orange juice from South America rather than Florida. Canada contribures approx $32B USD to the Florida economy. They are now choosing to go to the Dominican Republic, Cuba and other Carribbean sun destinations as per the Travel agency I supply copiers to.

      ... I would not want to be an American travelling aboard these days. We will take your money but we might first spit into your glass of water.

        Canada is the largest buyer of U.S. goods and services and buys more U.S. goods than China, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom combined.

        That purchasing power can make choices that directly effects US jobs and income.

        The Cdn $ is at a historical low compared to the US presenting a tremdous bargain for that half of US citizens who did not vote for Trump.

          You clearly don't understand your problem. Your problem isn't imports. It's exports. Try again

              What's cute is, how you consider trumpy to be a "master negotiator". When exactly does the proof of this present itself?

                There's no negotiations needed for Canada. Inflict economic damage via tariffs and take what we want.

                  Oh, so you are aware of trumpy's shortcomings? When did you finally realise trumpy is a piss poor businessman? It must have been fairly recently. Maybe Monday and Tuesday when he got thrashed by both Mexico and Canada. Lol

                    Dude you're shooting spitballs at one of our war ships. Canada simply isn't a player on the world stage.

                        Dude, Canada's tariffs on us amount to little more than a rounding error to our GDP.

                        Do the math.

                          I'm not sure who you are trying to convince.

                            Why are Canadians spitting in our water?
