Episode notes
Trump hit Canada with 50% tariffs on $20 billion in goods after trade talks collapsed an hour before the deadline. Mark Carney says Canada is "at war" and retaliates September 8. Bitcoin doesn't need a deal.The tariffs came through Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act - a statute that had never once been used to impose a tariff in 96 years. It needs no vote in Congress, carries no expiry date, and applies to CUSMA-compliant goods anyway. Two days earlier Trump posted that the two countries "have a DEAL." Sunday morning he was back to calling Canada a state that wants the benefits without the membership. Joey and Len break down what a permanent, unreviewable tariff power means for a country whose entire economy runs through one border - and why every story in this episode points at the same thing: the rules can change overnight when your money answers to somebody else.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:

A tariff with no expiry date and no congressional vote is the same lesson as a bail rule that sorts by bank balance and an ATM cap that follows you across state lines: permission you were granted can be withdrawn. Bitcoin is the only part of this episode nobody has to ask for.Sources: The Globe and Mail, CBC, CNN, Reuters, CP24, Bitcoin Magazine, The Block, CryptoSlate, Cointelegraph, New Hampshire Union Leader, SEC.gov, Angus Reid Institute————————————————————————————————SPONSORSThis week's episode is about what happens when the rules change without your consent.
