Canadian Exports & US Tariffs and Borders

[@PennyLaur-s5i]

I wondered what you thought of the trolling. Its why we love him so much, he is a strong leader but also has a great , human, sense of humor .

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

a blind person could see Trump was just poking fun.

[@judifarrington9461]

Perhaps one day Trudeau will learn how truly wonderful the Canadian people are! ❤

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

not likely, but a nice sediment anyway!

[@tammy6678]

Hey girl...good to see you...i know when i go to the grocery store here in US i always buy any Canadian food i can buy..its just better..we love Canada!!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

We love the USA too!

[@DebraMorris-q6r]

Well you’d be very welcome Toni!!😊

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I appreciate that more than you know!

[@DebieSims]

Hey Toni, it’s always good to see you!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Debie, It's great to see you too!

[@melissaeager7993]

Trump was definely joking for sure about make Canada a part of the US. I definitely believe my great grandparents left Quebec due to it not being as free as they liked and came to the US.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

your great grandparents were absolutely right about the lack of freedoms in Canada vs the USA.

I love Calgary, Alberta Province and Victoria island, British Columbia. 30+ years ago, we lived in Barrie, Ontario and traveled as far north as Moosanee. Spelled wrong. I love Nova Scotia and being from Maine we used to take the Blue Nose ferry yearly to Canada. Now I’m deeply ensconced in the Smokies of WNC and it’s home. If I was younger I’d love to be back north but no longer could stand the long winters. However late November into now it has been frigid here and hopefully our mean temps rise by Monday as hundreds of families are living in tents, compliments of this corrupt government who would rather send out tax dollars to Eastern Europe and now Africa.?

[@sharonparker2262]

It's breaking this Grandma's heart what's happening there. I can only pray, donate, and pray more.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

yes throwing money at every cause but his own people, disgusting..I suspect at this point he no longer cares about much of anything but his own skin and family.

[@harrietmartens742]

Hi Toni - biscotti for Christmas family get together is a wonderful idea. It isn’t just AB that has talked about leaving Canada - MB and SK have also made the consideration - mainly because the gov’t has been trying to strip resources from these provinces and use them as benefits for the eastern areas - it felt like we were being sucked dry. And a small amount of consideration was given to putting up a border between ON and MB - then forming our own western govt.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Yes, that's right, and you all WERE being sucked dry...those transfer payments do nothing for the prairie provinces

[@melinabs9809]

I always enjoy your political point of views you are always spot on imo. I have told my hubby for years if I ever leave the USA, I would for sure make Canada my home. I have never been there but always have dreamed of going, I watch a lot of YT videos of Canadians and I love the places they show it's just beautiful and the people all seem very kind. Thank you for your channel I surely enjoy it.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

well, you may like the people, but too may freedoms are curtailed here. free speech is limited and no 2nd...those two really protect American freedoms!

[@jenniferoceanhomestead]

Sprinkling ? Lol blizzard here right now … already a few feet in the ground … it’s beautiful but now when u have to shovel

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

yeah, welcome to my world!

[@twilson2844]

I went out to buy some specialty food gifts for family. I wasn't going to buy for myself but 2 bags of chocolates went into cart. Oh the chocolates are tasty.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

lol! I completely understand!

[@PennyLaur-s5i]

7.0 EQ off the coast of CA. Near Eureka. There were tsunami warnings along the coast. My daughter is south of San Fransisco. She says they felt it but tsunami warning is now cancelled. Praying it doesnt spread along the line.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I hear there are aftershocks, which is normal...hope your daughter is ok!

[@CherylAnderson327]

Thank you for sharing. Most of our family, neighbors and friends celebrate Christmas more then Thanksgiving. We do all get together for TG but bigger celebration with food, gifts and gatherings at Christmas with celebrations from Christmas to New Years. 🎄🎄

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I agree, Christmas is more celebrated in our family too.

[@minou2232]

Yes! Hopefully Canadian have strong leader with efficient and effective government soon. With pompous leader like Trudeau, all are spendings to please specific groups of interest , and arguing among parties while Canadian are suffering in high cost of living and chaotic economy

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

we are on the same page here!

[@sissy9405]

I'm in the U.S. and do not purchase from Canada because the shipping costs are astronomical as well. It's to bad both ways.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I don't doubt it!

[@cathyr212]

Toni, I'm glad you understand President Trump's "rumor". Of course when it comes to Canada, I don't believe there will ever be tariffs. Trudeau did the right thing by responding immediately. It will be beneficial for Canada to improve border security too. I'm going to write down your biscotti recipe. I've never made them, but I'm thinking about trying them out this year. Thanks! 😊

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Trudeau had no choice..the border is a mess, we have not kept up with our commitment to NATO, and any other number of issues that need to be addressed, but I suspect the threat of tariffs is one way to illicit cooperation.

[@JasonBarnett-YTisantiWest]

Biscotti? Are you sure it will work? Maybe you should make a pre-batch and let some of us taste first try it out give it a go? Just to be safe? 😉 m’mmmmm

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

That sounds like a plan to me! lol!!!!

[@c007zy]

Trump has a great sense of humor!!!

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

with serious undertones!

[@sissy9405]

I LMAO at Trump trolling Justin Trudeau as well :) None of us American folks like how Trudeau manages Canada and treats her people.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

well when you are one of the special people you can't let the "ordinary" ones get the better of you! karma is a "b"

[@sherriluce4252]

Most everyone that I know consider Thanksgiving and Christmas almost equal with Christmas beating out Thanksgiving.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Thank You!

[@davidlang4442]

Shipping is a killer here in the US. Mailing anything cost more than the item is worth..Mail order is dead.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

looks like we are in the same boat there!

[@davidlang4442]

@HerHomesteadSkills Sure are. I have a Etsy shop where I tried selling hand made items from my woodworking business nationally. That ended fast as shipping was too high to sell inexpensive items like around 20 buck or so where most buyers are. You see it on TV where lots of items are hocked for $19.99 or 4 easy payments of $19.99..Even "Etsy selling" was to high. That's where using Etsy labeling should get up to 30% off shipping. I still have my Etsy shop but nothing sells there as Etsy's algorithm favors high volume sellers of stuff imported from countries like China and pushes low volume sellers like me to the bottom of the barrel where I get no traffic. Etsy used to be a site for sellers like me with handmade items to sell but not anymore. See lots of factory made stuff on there these days. Got that off my chest!

HI TONI GTSY

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

Hello!

[@davidlang4442]

Quebec wanted to become it's own country. If that happened then the Maritime Provinces were going to join the US at that time. Quebec got some concessions to stay in the union. one was becoming a bilingual national language. French and English on everything.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

of course they got concessions!

[@davidlang4442]

@@HerHomesteadSkills In time, they will be back with more threats for more concessions. I lived in Maine that borders Quebec. Most of southern Maine is overrun in the summer with people from Quebec especially the beaches. All you hear walking Maine's southern beaches is French speaking folks. I am sure they are nice folks but they come in and run all the concession stands and everything else and they don't treat you very well at their businesses if you speak only English. .In our high Schools everyone has to take French classes it's so prevailing there. Heck, I even married a French gal from Edmonston . She wouldn't teach me French though. But that's another story.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

they don't treat people from the rest of Canada any better if you don't speak french...but their food is awesome!

[@BarbaraKurtz-e4z]

I heard a very serious discussion about Fruit Cake. Do you make it? If so what is your recipe.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

I made a few videos, this one is by far the best and most informative: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbEYpRmrciUlaM enjoy!

[@throttle4593]

I think it would be great for all of us if Canada became part of the US! I thought of you when Trump said that and wondered what your reaction would be.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

can't happen soon enough! although Mark said we have to have a "different" Governor lol!

[@lindatown1193]

I do know Canada has much higher postage than the US. Maybe that's why it's so much more.

[@HerHomesteadSkills]

higher everything, except the dollar, that is currently tanking!
