No smartphone.
But I know people who do.
For shame.
Cell made in Vietnam.
LOL... I meant to buy from companies who aren't WHOLLY run out of China. There's more risk buying from those three Chinese rip-
off companies mentioned above.
Like you Cangaydians who feel better about warming Earth, with your Carbon Credits, I feel jussssst fine not buying American,
because I'll GLADLY pay the tariffs.
What makes you better than US, rich boy?
YOUR country has tariffs on Chinese goods too.
Like many countries, Canada has a complex system of tariffs and trade regulations that apply to imports from China.
In 2018, Canada imposed tariffs on certain Chinese goods in response to the US-China trade war and China's retaliatory tariffs on
Canadian goods. These tariffs were imposed on a range of products, including:
Steel and aluminum products
Industrial goods, such as machinery...
... and ELECTRONICS.
Agricultural products, such as soybeans and pork
In 2020, Canada also imposed tariffs on certain Chinese goods in response to China's national security law for Hong Kong. These
tariffs apply to goods such as:
Textiles and apparel
Footwear
Toys and games
Canada also has a number of other trade measures in place that affect Chinese goods, including:
Anti-dumping and countervailing duties on certain products, such as steel and aluminum
Safeguard measures on imports of certain goods, such as textiles and apparel
Restrictions on imports of certain products, such as hazardous waste and certain chemicals
It's worth noting that Canada and China have a complex trade relationship, and tariffs and trade measures can change frequently.
The Canadian government's website provides information on current tariffs and trade measures, as well as a tariff lookup tool
that allows users to search for specific products and their corresponding tariffs.
Some examples of tariffs on Chinese goods in Canada include:
A 25% tariff on certain steel products, such as steel plate and steel wire
A 10% tariff on certain industrial goods, such as machinery and electronics
A 5% tariff on certain agricultural products, such as soybeans and pork
These tariffs can vary depending on the specific product and the country of origin, so it's always best to check the Canadian
government's website or consult with a trade expert for the most up-to-date information.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
