If you take back all your Canadian invaders (Canadian Geese) that :poop: all over the golf course I play at I’ll ask my cousin Donald to make an exemption for WYZE.

As a fellow Canadian, how is that Wyze’s fault?

It’s not Wyze fault, it’s Trump’s.

You have it backwards. It’s a 25% tariff for products imported into the USA from Canada. Wyze products are not imported into the USA from Canada. If Canada declares a retaliatory tariff on US exports to Canada, that would affect the cost of Wyze products to Canadians.

Right, so how is Wyze supposed to fix that?

They can’t. I am just saying I wont be able to afford their products with price increases….

Oh, thanks for sharing :upside_down_face:

Exactly…. Canada will retaliate……

Because there surely would be an equal tariff the other way. It’s not going to be Wyze though, maybe paper, did you stock up on toilet paper? :grin:

I am very well stocked up on toilet paper and paper towels made in Ohio, USA. :grin:

Wyze should be more concerned about the 10% tariff on China. :grimacing:

How does that even make sense when Wyze is also a registered Canadian Company now too?

  1. Wyze has no connection to the US government or their decisions. It makes no sense to punish somebody who had nothing to do with a decision.
  2. You said you won’t buy them anymore because of the tariffs but the tariffs won’t affect the prices of Wyze products going to Canada. Tariffs don’t apply from the US to Canada. And even if they apply from China {(and the suppliers they have in other countries) to the US, Wyze can probably have a lot of them shipped directly from China (or other countries) directly to Canada to avoid any of those tariffs that direction.
  3. Even if it’s an extreme tribalism reaction, Wyze is not partisan. And regardless of that, they love Canada. One of the founders has most of his family from and still living in Canada. In many ways it’s a part Canadian company in that sense. So it would be like punishing your own tribe too that isn’t even their fault or within their control or influence. You can’t " teach someone a lesson" through retaliation and revenge, for something they didn’t even do.

I’m just saying that for my personal beliefs, when somebody hurts me. I don’t go out and target and attack completely innocent people who had nothing to do with it in retaliation. I would feel weird about that. Even as kid, I once had a teacher punish me unfairly, really unfairly. So, I stop taking her classes. But I didn’t punish the other students in my school who were stuck having to take her classes, or other random kids in the school who are just trying to make the best of their lives with the way things are imposed on them too at the school. Extreme tribalism can be dangerous. I would encourage people to consider some of the above logical rationales first.

But I’m the end, were all free to make our own choices including what we do with our own money. So it’s all good. I’m sorry to hear that Opie is struggling and hope that things can work out better for everybody. I love my Canadian friends too.

I guess the grass at your golf course tastes better :slight_smile:

I mailed a dash cam to Canada once for a battery repair from the company there. It cost a lot of $$$$ in postal fees. Has it always been that way?

We have to be careful to respect the guidelines against political discussion And I will not say anything about my politics or who I vote for or anything on here because I don’t think it’s appropriate for this setting (even in the water-cooler), But the fact is, it’s impossible to know whether I actually did vote for Trump or somebody else, but just to give some added perspective on “you voted for him because he won”…

Regardless of someone’s political preference, punishing an entire population for something that fewer than 23.1% of that population voted for feels like it would mean tribalism shotgun blast relation matters more than targeting the person they’re really upset with.

So let’s say Billy Bob has amazing parents, brothers, sisters, cousins most of whom are all great people that everybody loves, serve the community, do amazing things. Everybody thinks they’re the most wonderful people And a lot of them don’t even like Billy Bob at all. Maybe most of them don’t. Some of them have even had him committed or other things, But all those decisions aren’t necessarily in their hands… But Billy Bob one day punched you in the face. Does it really make sense for you to go violently abuse his cousins? Or All the other innocent people that had nothing to do with Billy Bob choosing to punch you in the face? So now you turned all the best people against you specifically too, and your confirmation bias will be that of course they were all evil to begin with, even though from their perspective they had nothing against you, but you keep attacking and abusing them when they were innocent, some of which have dedicated a lot of time to trying to get Billy. Bob to not punch people in the face.

Wyze allows their employees to have their own politics cuz it’s not a partisan company. There are employees from every kind of politics. Punishing the entire company for what a bunch of them had nothing to do with than may have the opposite preference for just confuses me. Especially when they are also registered as Canadian and One of the founders is basically Canadian as far as I understand it based on everything they’ve said about having so many of his family in Canada.
Just food for thought.

I have no idea how expensive is postage to Canada from the states. Postage within Canada was $1 for at least 10-15 years. It is going up now to $1.25, nothing to do with tariffs :slight_smile:

Postage to the states I think is $2, but don’t quote me on that.
