The anger is palpable even in Australia. I keep having to tell everyone we are Canadian and then you see an instant relief in their face, otherwise I’m almost certain they would have spat in our food.

Well here we go! Apparently the world is just supposed to take it like the little bitch countries they are. Especially China, how dare they stand up for themselves. Straight outta the Nelson Muntz School of Diplomacy.

1. I predict a market sell off tomorrow as people were only reading the headline that the tariffs were paused when they were only reduced by a quarter b/c of the increase to China (where most goods are from). Canada/Mexico seem to have larger tariffs put on as well and aren't subject to the 10%. As people realize how little things changed we'll see them sell off.

2. I would gladly join whatever Signal chat there is that is planning out the market manipulation. Add me to Houthi Market Manip PC Small Group please. I hear OpSec is not very good on Signal.

3. I'm debating exiting a small amount to take advantage of the bounce and watching this thing keep cratering. I don't like to time the market much but I'm firmly in the camp of the downturn is totally not over and we'll still see big drops ahead.

I stopped looking at my DCPP/RRSPs over the last few weeks to save myself a headache.

I'm only 39, so my investments still have a long way to go until I ever retire, but I feel bad for those people approaching their retirement age who are seeing their pension funds played with like a toy by these rich assholes.

This 90-day pause just adds more uncertainty, allows this whole thing to continue to be dragged out.

Businesses aren't, and won't, invest into anything right now.

Hello recession.

All my clients are buying and stock piling because they can - esp with no more SE asian country with 60% tariffs.

i'm just eating popcorn and cant' wait how this president will ruin the global economy. Heck, i don't give a crap about PP or Liberals no more. This is way more interesting.

They might as well be depositing that money directly in Trump's bank account

what kind of exec orders are being signed.....this is beyond me.

Trump signs executive order on water pressure to ‘restore shower freedom’
White House says order will ‘make America’s showers great again’ and ‘end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure’

Are eggs cheaper yet?

US egg prices break record high for third consecutive month even as inflation drops

Nope

China responded, putting a 125% tariff on American goods. They say they won't bother going any higher since there's no need.

Not sure if that affects me, but I don't buy many American products anyway. Even Doritos are made in China now and they taste pretty much the same.

Don't all region make their own pop / snack / chips? There's no reason doritos are shipped from US.

We always got American Doritos and Lays until just last year. Some flavours still are (like Jalapeno Ranch)

The Taiwanese and Japanese made ones are here too, but they all suck

The Chinese ones of American flavours are good enough
