Just hypothetically, what would happen if Canada put a 100,000% export tax on toilet paper being shipped to the USA four weeks before the midterms?

@david_chisnall This would not be showing something like togetherness.
Each of you have to simplify each other's life.
Of course, some people would opt not to use toilet papers the rest of their lives
@david_chisnall the US Govt would declare wiping your butt illegal.
@david_chisnall Finally americans would find out that its possible to wash your butthole clean using just water like the rest of the civilized world for a few thousand years... hehehe.
Screw the toilet paper. Kick them in the Dongle.

@david_chisnall That'd be a shitshow!
@david_chisnall That could turn into a real shit-show!
speculation:
I was unable to find really comprehensive numbers on manufacture of TP across the globe.
but afaik, Can supplies about 6% of US market, so it *has to be true that given a few weeks notice, the US supply chain could source TP from other countries
A sudden halt to all shipments would lead to spot shortages, which would be amplified by news and social media into a HUGE problem which would lead to panic buying
a positive feedback loop on steroids
@david_chisnall The orange loser would tell everyone to use a "Biden Bidet" and have "Biden wash their ass"
@david_chisnall
Could Canada not simply close the Welland Canal? All eight locks are located in Ontario and operated by the Canadian side, as far as I understand.
I genuinely wonder what the economic consequences of that would be for the United States. How much of the U.S. economy — and how many Americans — depend on goods being transported through the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway system?
@david_chisnall Not even that would convince Americans to clean properly with a bidet.
@david_chisnall I don't know, but I bet it would be hilarious
