The cost of aluminum for consumers in Europe buying on the physical market has dropped due to expectations that Canadian shipments under U.S. tariffs from Tuesday will be diverted, physical market traders said.
. . .
The U.S. is a major importer of aluminum used widely in the transport, packaging and construction industries, shipping in 5.46 million metric tons of aluminum products in 2023, according the U.S. Commerce Department.
According to the Commerce Department, Canada accounted for 3.08 million tons or 56 per centof aluminum product imports to the United States for domestic consumption in 2023, the latest full year data available.

That is the appropriate answer to rapist-donald and his friends. We literally produce half of their aluminum (edit: imported aluminium, 1/4 overall). USA will face the biggest construction crisis they ever faced. We cannot trust this under-educated country ever again, it’s time to build permanent partnership with the rest of the world and bring down the US for good, they’re to dangerous for the survival of the specie.
I don’t expect forgiveness, but I’d like you to know I’m sorry for the way my country is acting
Half of their imported aluminum, not half of the total. It’s an important distinction.
right, american production of aluminum metal is 1/4 of canadian production. it also critically depends on cheap elecrticity, canadians have nuclear powerplants and hydro, and guess what other funny thing canadians can do
e: i can’t read
it breaks down like this: american production of aluminum 750k tons, canadian 3000k tons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_aluminium_production), 95% of canadian aluminum exports go to usa (https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/raw-aluminium/reporter/can#trade-flow), and comparing export value, price per ton and manufacture, it looks like most of manufacture goes to export, let’s say 90%, of which 95% goes to usa, that is somewhere around 2560k tons. this is 56% of imports, so the rest is about 2010k tons. so out of 5320k tons total, canadians can just take away almost half
guess what other funny things Canadians can do 😏
Oh, what’s this gonna be? Go out for a rip?
not read :c
Oh
Thanks for the numbers, makes a clearer portrait.
Giving in to blind hate against your neighbours does nothing but help trump’s puppetmasters, who thrive on dividing allies. Keep calm and leave your elected officials do their jobs ( for now ).
It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies who are literally threatening to annex my country and are now cheering at nazi salute. You want us to engage in polite discussion with nazis? They choose to elect a literal pedophile (Epstein’s closest friend, it’s on tape) TWICE. What do you think these fascists pigs would do people like me: half-indigenous, half french-canadian and bi? They would fucking put me into a reeducation camp until I die. Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them, but they are now an ennemi and a real threat to the our species, that’s not just an image. Our officials are just your basic neo-liberals fucks, we need to bring this entire system down, starting with fascist USA.
Not the Nazis, but the trans and bi and Jews and…
Or I guess we bi and trans Americans can go to the camps or get shot. Good to know we won’t have any aid from Canadians in fighting back.
… It’s your country that’s threatening mine. You know the one where half the budget goes to the army and everyone has a gun? Your president was democratically elected, americans made a choice. What do you want us to do exactly, surrender so we can be together in the camps?
Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters’ ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn’t even care enough to bother to vote.
I’m saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and removeds who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.
Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.
You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or…
Don’t buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don’t victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I’m hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.
Dude chill, I’m not hostile toward you personally, sorry if it sounded like it. I’m not saying I don’t have empathy for people who didn’t voted for pedo, but in this situation, it’s the USA that’s coming after us, not the other way around. USA has the biggest army in the world, the craziest leader, and is threatening to annex us. And this governement is not even a month old… We need to protect our-self by any means.
It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies
Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them
Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That’s exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won’t care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it’s their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should’ve shot first. "
There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they’ve voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.
As a US-ian, I don’t know whether to upvote or downvote. The concern is real and response appropriate, but then you go off into the weeds, and …… take a breath. Politics bounces back and forth but has usually been somewhat sane. It might be again
Your country is threatening to annex mine…You want us to wait and hope your dictator becomes reasonable?
Oh no, I’m sure he will never become reasonable. It’s going to be a tumultuous and scary four years.
As I was saying, the response seems appropriate. However despite all our fears, there’s no reason to expect it to last more than four years. There’s every chance things will return to sanity then. In the meantime, the response seems to be resistance, making clear the consequences, then get on the phone and make some concession that you would have anyway, if the orange idiot would use his words. No tariffs, no big deal ion your part, his big ego gets to claim a win. We can’t lose hope for the future
there’s no reason to expect it to last more than four years
I admire your optimism but I think it’s naïve…
He explicitly said, on multiple occasion, that he would “fix” the electoral system. He already attacked your Capitol, remember? Republican won’t accept to lose another election, they will make sure it doesn’t happened. Just wait a couple of months, shouldn’t be long before you see their plan.
I mean your country IS under educated and it does need to lose some of its dominance imo. The US and its market influence is the main driving force behind all the bad IP law and privacy disasters of the past few decades. Countries need to start ignoring the US more when making decisions.
I’m still hoping that Canada can join the EU. I think it’d be excellent for everyone (except America but who cares at this point).
Make up some story about technically joining the EU when the UK did because you had the same Queen. But not being bound by Brexit vote.
No need to make anything up. We share a land border with Denmark (Hans Island), and we have two little islands off of Newfoundland that are the territory of France (St Pierre and Miquelon). We’re really just far, far, western Europe. 😀
Merge with Greenland under Danish rule and really watch the orange man explode
Maybe king Charles could marry king Frederik, but only in Canada, putting you into a personal union
less mental gymnastics than what is required for anything in the States to seem same
I’ll allow it.
As a Brit, I’d be sad they got to join but also quite proud of our daughter
It being bad for America is a selling point now.
Also seeing the face of Brexiters would just be worth it
We could become a special Dutch territory
Alternatively, we could just clarify that the territorial waters of St. Pierre and Miquelon should actually extend west of Haida Gwaii due to some old treaty we found written on gold plates but can’t show to anyone for reasons.
Je suis un St. Pierre et Miqueloner
