<p>“Here’s what 76 percent means… It means the Canadian government has permission from the Canadian people to hurt you, and to keep hurting you past the point where reasonable people ask if we should stop. It means Carney can turn off the taps, add export levies to energy and potash and uranium,…and cancel every American contract in the country… It also means we won’t stop when you ask. We stop when the job is finished.”<br>—Dean Blundell<br><a href="https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/you-have-no-idea-who-youre-dealing" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="deanblundell.substack.com/p/you-have-no-idea-who-youre-dealing"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">deanblundell.substack.com/p/yo</span><span class="invisible">u-have-no-idea-who-youre-dealing</span></a><br><a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#trump</a> <a href="/tags/usa/" rel="tag">#usa</a> <a href="/tags/canada/" rel="tag">#canada</a> <a href="/tags/tradewar/" rel="tag">#tradewar</a></p>
