00:00Canada has been a very difficult country to deal with over the years.

00:04They did something with our tech companies today trying to copy Europe.

00:08You know, they copied Europe.

00:09It's not going to work out well for Europe either.

00:11And it's not going to work out well for Canada.

00:14When you have that circumstance, you treat people better.

00:17They've had farmers that are getting like 300, 400, 200 percent in tariffs.

00:23So Canada put a charge on some of our companies.

00:27And Canada has been a very difficult country to deal with over the years.

00:32You know, we hear Canada.

00:33We have a great relationship with the people of Canada.

00:36But it's been very difficult.

00:37And they put a charge and they were a little bit early.

00:40We found out about it.

00:41So and we have all the cards.

00:43We have every single one.

00:45We don't want to do anything bad.

00:46But they have economically we have such power over Canada.

00:52I'd rather not use it.

00:53But they did something with our tech companies today trying to copy Europe.

00:58You know, they copied Europe.

00:59It's not going to work out well for Europe either.

01:01And it's not going to work out well for Canada.

01:04They were foolish to do it.

01:05So I said we're going to stop all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten out their act.

01:11Is there anything in Canada that you would change your mind about this?

01:15No, they put a tax on companies that were American companies that they shouldn't.

01:19Very severe tax.

01:22And yeah, I guess they could remove it.

01:25They will.

01:26But I don't really I mean, it doesn't matter to me.

01:28We have all the cards.

01:30We have all the cards.

01:31You know, we do a lot of business with Canada, but relatively little.

01:35They do most of their businesses with us.

01:37And when you have that circumstance, you treat people better.

01:41They've had farmers that are getting like 300, 400, 200 percent in tariffs.

01:48Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

01:49We have cases.

01:51You don't read this and the people don't report.

01:53But they charge us 400 percent on some dairy products.

01:59400 percent.

02:00Nobody writes that.

02:02And it's not fair to our farmers.

02:04And we've got to protect our farmers.
