Canadian online sellers brace for elimination of duty-free shipping to United States

[Squishybear]

So will all Canadians who aren’t broke as fuck now buy made in Chi… I mean US… I mean Canada ? All I ever hear from local shoppers is how they can’t afford nothing no mo.

And fuck small businesses anyway, right Canada?

How about making things? Are we gonna start making things here?

There goes my green dildo business.....

 

[border_humper]

Given all the assholes up here, I trust green dildos will sell like hotcakes.

 

[Squishybear]

Yes but good luck finding green dildos. It’s most likely one of those colors you can’t get here.

I mean I couldn’t get green grout in this country.

Lol!!!

i would love it if we made things here. but these motherfuckers want to shop local at walmart prices. retards.

You cant make stuff here because of minimum wage, energy costs, carbon tax, taxes, regulations, woke employees, dei, insurance, etc etc

Canada is screwed and more screwed then ever under Mark Carneys leadership

idk. when i was a kid jeans cost $40 at zellers. people just want their walmart prices. according to our inflation calculator thats like 104.93 in 2024. last piece of shit jeans i bought at the walmart cost me $22, maybe less. i dont remember.

of course the canadian shitshow doesnt help, but if we want to make shit here, its going to cost more regardless.

@saymyname People want cheap shit with a maple leaf on it. As long as it has a maple leaf on it, who cares where it comes from!

Good luck buying Canadian, ain’t no one got money to buy Canadian except some oldtimers with no mortgages. Also try getting anything useful in Canada like car parts. We ordered a clamp from a Canadian business. Three weeks later still nothing. So we bought it on Amazon, it was here the next day. Canceled the other order… “oh it just shipped today from the USA!”. So dumb.

Bunch of hot air is all it is.

"I want to buy a TV for $100."

"It'll blow up in a week."

"But if only costs $100!"

This is the attitude that got us, not just Canada but the entire west, here.

For the artisans and crafters, there may be a way around it via the CUSMA Canada United States Mexico Agreement... info here:

“Turns out we are maybe overreacting…”

Canadians are always fucking overreacting because Canadians don’t ever look into anything. It’s always knee jerk one way or another. Oh no tv said so! Fucking idjits.

Though I highly doubt most small businesses get enough of their stuff from sources that would qualify.

Wait what? Under $800 CAN to US is duty free? I swear every package going the reverse direction is slapped with a 40% customs charge.

 

[Hirudinea]

Used to be.

I just got nailed for over $40 for a $200 car part from the US.
