Thoughts on Current Events. I Have Them.

Via this morning's New York Times - or, as I call it, "The Times":

Hours after President Trump imposed stiff tariffs, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada said his country would place retaliatory 25 percent tariffs on more than $100 billion worth of U.S. goods. He made clear that Canada was imposing the levies reluctantly.

Surely I'm not the only person(ish) to whom it's occurred that wouldn't it stand to reason China would simply tell Canada to turn up the heat on us with the tariffs & they'll foot the bill? 🤔🤷‍♂️
