This doesn't even have to be The Onion, but just straight news. This is exactly how it is going to work.
I saw some of the dipshit commenters on a WSJ article giving examples of things affected and how their prices might change - lots of "Well, I don't need these things, and paying 5 cents more for making brown people suffer is worth it, anyway!"
Yeah, I guess we will see....
But the twist is that it still won't be portrayed as Trump's fault. Unfair Canada declares war for no reason or whatever.
Oh, without a doubt. I've already seen some of their ridiculous people try to prep their stupid base with "....but it will be worth it" kind of narratives. I bet you'll hear more than a few of the marks parrot this idiocy.
I’ve seen a lot of “Canada needs us more than we need them”. Going to be a big wake up call when gas, electricity, cars, groceries, and a dozen other things suddenly jump more than 25% (because we all know the corpos will take the excuse to extract more value).
