The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The provision specifies that if one of the current North American Free Trade Agreement partners enters a free trade deal with a "non-market" country such as China,

Canada's agreement with China is NOT an FTA. It only covers a limited number of products, like EVs, which Trump doesn't want produced by USian companies anyway.

Carney says Canada not pursuing free trade deal with China as Trump threatens 100% tariffs

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Carney said that the country respects its obligations under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement, known as CUSMA in Canada and the USMCA in the U.S., and will not pursue a free trade agreement without notifying the other two parties.

Under the agreement, Canada will allow 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the market annually at a lowered tariff rate of 6.1%, after raising tariffs on such vehicles to 100% in October 2024 in conjunction with the U.S.

In return, Beijing will cut duties on Canadian agricultural exports, including on canola seed oil, which will see tariffs drop to 15% from March 1, down from the current 85%.

Trump is butt-hurt because Canada would not pay the $1B bribe to "join" Trump's fake "Board of Peace", so Trump the God lies about the Canada/China agreement to whip up another argument.
