Only for the novices who know nothing of proxies and VPNs. Hardcore coomers won't be impacted at all. Various red US states already limit access to that resource and others like it; geoblocking PornHub to those states will likely be applauded there,

Canadians Propose Punishing Americans For Trump's Trade War by Blocking Their Access to PornHub



Some Canadians have come up with an unusual idea for punishing Americans for Trump's trade war.

The idea involves blocking American's access to the Canadian-owned Pornhub, which remains the most visited website in the entire country.

It was first proposed by comedian Matthew Puzhitsky, who posted an Instagram video describing the website as "Canada's nuclear weapon."

"If Canada could ban Pornhub in the states, we win the trade war," Puzhitsky told The New York Post.

"That's it. There is no trade war."

That will really punish Americans. Especially in Blue States.

^That. To which I add the use of tanks to haul off trucks, walls of uniformed "basher gangs" to clear the streets and the trampling of mobility impaired first nationers by mounted police. CTV, Global and CBC attempted to describe the wheelchair as a "bicycle" as I recall, as if that would make that okay. Apparently it did.

Not long after the debacle there was another protest, held in support of Ukraine. Truedeaup marched in that one. No tanks, no tramplings, no basher gangs.

I can understand why Shen won't go back to Canada, I wouldn't either. Canada once enjoyed a reputation for being a kindly people, a nation of peacekeepers. I  could still see it in 2012, but in ten years it had degenerated into a beaten, divided nation whose currency was better expressed in petty mindedness and mean spirited.

I count myself fortunate to have lived Canada when she was something to be proud of. I don't know if those days will ever return.

The price of eggs has dropped below what they were before I returned to office.

Correct. And I do remember saying on innumerable occasions that electing Trump could only hope to soften the impending crash wrought by previous administration.

It would probably be wise to understand that Trump's main focus is on the US. With the amount of propping up the US has traditionally done for her northern ally, it is Canada and not the US that will feel the hurt the most. Expecting the current paradigm to continue is unrealistic. 

And really, why would you want it to? Canada barters her loonie's worth against the greenback - it is effectively your reserve currency. It loses value, the loonie loses value. Hyperinflation will destroy the worth of any money you have banked.

You need him to be acting in this manner in order that you do not die a pauper. Well, unless you go back on to the gold standard, but I imagine people like Saddam can tell you where that path leads. Yeah, it hurts - I get it. Ripping off all the bandaids usually does.

Trump orders 50% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium



US President Donald Trump says he will double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium from 25% to 50%

In the latest twist in a deepening trade war, Trump says it's in retaliation for 25% tariffs Ontario placed on electricity it sends to northern US states

Trump says the tariffs will begin on Wednesday, adding that he'll declare "a national emergency on electricity" in those states

The latest escalation comes after the worst day of 2025 for US markets, fuelled by fears of President Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs on America's biggest trading partners

When asked about a potential recession in a recent interview, Trump said the economy was in a "period of transition"

I saw that.

While Canada and aluminum are sectors where Canada has not played fair, it could have been negotiated individually just like Canada's hyper protected dairy industry. This blanket trade war serves no purpose long term.

Looks like it's about to get worse.

Inflation and a recession are coming in the near term.

Next week China imposes broad based high tariffs(some up to 100%) on Canada.

Most of Trump's policies are so much better than Biden's. Trade included.

However, putting tariffs on every good of foreign origin is not one of them. Particularly with Canada and Mexico.

Trump wants growth. I hope he realizes soon this is not growth conducive.

Quote from: DKG on March 10, 2025, 10:33:26 AMDonald Trump said on March 9 that his tariff plan would likely impact the economy, describing it as a "transition period" that would ultimately benefit the country. "There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America," Trump said in an interview with Maria Bartiromo, host of Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures."

When asked about business leaders voicing concerns about the uncertainty and market volatility his tariff announcements have caused, Trump said that his focus remains on the future.

"Look, what I have to do is build a strong country. You can't really watch the stock market," he said. "What we're doing is we're building a tremendous foundation for the future." The president said his policies would bring down interest rates and energy prices, easing the burden on consumers and businesses.

Sorry Mr President, I have strong doubts that you can do what you claim.

Great things are coming. Be patient.
