Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes; you'd know what a drag it is to see you! ~ Positively 4th Street

Strike one.

Strike two.

I expect that this will be the death of the trade deal.

If you were ever on the receiving end from the school bully, you'll appreciate what it's like living up here.  I like you guys a lot - really I do - but your government sure sucks ass sometimes.

The silly part of it is that most of the companies that are being hurt by these tariffs are US-owned companies anyway.

The other people being hurt are home buyers who are forced to pay artificially-inflated prices for their materials.

What are America's trade practices towards Mexico?
I wonder if it's the same as those towards Canada...

Well.. not an easy or short thing to explain :P
But in general they like exporting with ease and make importing complicated, either with taxes, restrictions, or just making things complicated for people not to be able to figure out how to export at all.
Meanwhile they bitch and threat whenever anything here isnt to their liking.

The NAFTA basically means the US can sell their goods however they want, but not the other way around; and it seems thats for Mexico and Canada

We know. We're trying to change it, but it's awfully good at ignoring us.
