Trump-voting retired steelworker calls new U.S. tariffs 'bulls--t'


READ MORE



Bob Dyky is exactly a kind of man U.S. President Donald Trump is perplexing to greatfully by commanding new tariffs on Canada — though a retired Pennsylvania steelworker isn’t impressed.


The tariffs, announced by U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a write lecture on Thursday, bluster to impose a 25 per cent tariff on steel imports and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminum from Canada and Mexico and a European Union.


But Dyky, who voted for Trump, says Canada should be exempt.


He spoke with As It Happens horde Carol Off from his hometown of Monessen, Penn.


Here is partial of that conversation.


Bob, what do we make of President Trump slapping tariffs on Canadian steel?


I totally remonstrate with it.


The United States and Canada are some-more than allies, they are partners.


And if we go behind and demeanour during history, generally in a steel-making regions, a Great Lakes segment … transportation, trucks, cars airplanes — all was finished here.


And if it wasn’t for what happened in this area and a Great Lakes region, we’d be vocalization German right now. They never would have won a war.


Do other people in Pennsylvania, in Monessen, and your neighborhood, share your perspective that Canadian steel should be free from these tariffs?


Everybody we speak to has.

What do we contend to Mr. Trump?


He needs to take a prolonged tough demeanour during a NAFTA agreement, generally as it pertains to Mexico, since that’s where a majority of jobs went. They didn’t go to Canada. As a matter of fact, Canada mislaid out on a understanding too.


What he’s observant is that he wants to put people in Pittsburgh behind to work again, and this is a approach to do it.


I don’t consider it’s going to put anybody in Monessen back to work since a indent is gone. It’s been ripped down and demolished.


Some people have jobs. Some people have work. Mr. Trump is observant he’s putting these tariffs on Canadian steel … for you. Who do we consider he’s doing it for?


I don’t know who he thinks he’s doing it for. He’s not doing it for a folks in Monessen or in the Pittsburgh area.


There are some tiny jobs in places like Westinghouse Air Brake that my crony and his co-workers are being called behind to work. But you’re articulate 50, 75, 100 folks.


Yeah, we’ll take a small bit. Any jobs are improved than no jobs. But on a large-scale basement for a larger Pittsburgh area, no, we don’t see an impact.


If there’s plea involved, who does that help? No one.


Well, there is going to be retaliation. We’re conference that from a possess supervision currently that they’re not going to take this sitting down, that there are going to be retaliatory tariffs behind on a United States products … What do we make of that?


To be really blunt, we consider it’s all bulls–t, since a tariffs on this side of a limit never should have been enacted opposite Canada in a initial place. Period.


And so what outcome do we consider that plea is going to have on your economy?


Any plea is not good for possibly side.


All it’s going to do is expostulate a costs adult for everybody and that’s not good. Co-operation is a name of a diversion between a United States and Canada.


Get it done. Get off your high horse, and forget about only tariff bulls–t.

What would we like to contend to Mr. Trump today?


Get off of Twitter.


[Laughs] OK, and afterwards what?


[Laughs] There’s things we wouldn’t contend to a lady.


What would we contend to your Canadian neighbours?


It’s really unfortunate, and I’m contemptible that it happened, and it never should have. It never should have been considered, let alone being on a list and enacted.


It’s ridiculous, it’s ludicrous, it’s not right. Never should have crossed anyone’s mind.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
