Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Everything except energy apparently?
Go figure, he wants Americans to continue driving gas guzzlers and not see the price of gas go up in the states.
Americans also unaware that this means they will be paying more for imported goods.
I fully support Canada embargoing oil. Won’t happen because Alberta is a Trumpy little traitor and will make a tantrum.
Our flatlanders are allied with the cruel conservative Americans. They're not gonna cut off oil because it would hurt their friend; and also they're so fat on that teat they have no plan-b.
I'd be supportive of Canada as a whole doing the right thing. Those pipelines need to be severed.
Many of us are well aware it'll raise the cost of goods, and not just imports. Any domestic competitors that don't raise priced by say, 20% and 7%, is leaving money on the table and will get sued by their share holders.
I'm not saying I like that fact, but it just is.
How many consumer goods are even made in the US besides food? I know we do make some things, but 90% of the stuff at Walmart is imported crap.
I use Walmart as the example since that's where most of the GOP voter base lives and breathes.
A handful of cars and large equipment? Realistically the only reason we've been a superpower this long is because of the deal with Saudi to install the Petro dollar. Republicunts don't understand how fragile this shit is.
Americans will be paying more for everything. Domestic suppliers have free reign to raise prices to match.
Yup, that's the point of tariffs. Nationalism. It's just a very stupid stance when our economy has been propped up by bullshit for decades. I can't help but think of the little British girl from the resident evil movie. "You are all going to die down here" thanks little girl, I know, didn't need to hear you say it.
No, oil is 10%.
Right, I should have been clearer what energy means. Crude oil.
Yeah good luck with that though. We're going to retaliate with our own energy tarrifs
Good, I hope the economy burns so these moron republicans wake up a little.
