Motorin' Posted yesterday at 05:13 PM Posted yesterday at 05:13 PM 27 minutes ago, The 9 Isles said: We can do this all day, the point is that Trump is exaggerating and alienating a good trade partner and ally for no good reason. He has surrounded himself with some very nefarious people giving him some very bad advice and I don't think he is smart enough to flush them out. https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_a063d621-a443-4f14-a728-829233cc71b7 It's just one of a number of examples of Canadians lying about their protectionist policies that treat US companies and imports differently. And this is part of a much broader agenda, as outlined by Marco Rubio in his confirmation hearing. He said the system setup in the post-war world that placed America at the center of global affairs has been turned against America by allies and adversaries alike. In so doing, the US is being slowly bled to death... At the rate of debt accrual over the last 25 years, and the rate that money has to be printed to keep up, the national debt will be 132,000 Trillion in 100 years time. And the average home price will be 1.7 trillion. The insanity has to end. Ending US global patronage of any and everybody and equalizing trade relations is just one aspect that needs to happen. 1 1

T master Posted yesterday at 05:47 PM Posted yesterday at 05:47 PM (edited) I can understand the tariff on Mexico because they weren't going to help to slow or stop the illegal immigrants from coming through their country to make it to the US southern border so I got that one but the Canadian tariff is just plain foolish . He was in office when he wanted the Keystone to be built so I'm not sure why he is thinking the way he is I could maybe understand threatening a tariff to use as a tool to get something that he may want but to actually implement it I'm not for that at all !! And all of his wise ass comments about making Canada the 51st state needs to stop ! Canada is a proud country and they border the US and if one hand washes the other both countries could profit from economic agreements but if he continues to piss them off it will just screw up the relationship ! I wonder if there is something that has went on behind the curtain that we don't know about that is the reason for his actions & statements . Edited yesterday at 05:51 PM by T master

Their existence is not contingent on ours. They will continue to exist as a sovereign nation if the US were to suddenly fall off the earth.

The 9 Isles Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago 2 hours ago, AlBUNDY4TDS said: Canada needs us more than we need them. What a silly thing to say. Why start a trade war with a country that is an ally, which has a beneficial and reciprocal trade relationship? Outside of energy which the US needs and buys at a market discount (and then refines and resells at a massive profit) Canada actually has a trade deficit with the US. An impressive feat considering that the US has 10x the population of Canada. This was completely unnecessary, especially with Canada. Take auto manufacturing, Canada buys relatively the same amount of vehicles BUILT IN THE USA as they send to the US. Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Germany buy almost no autos built in the US but ship in millions built in their respective countries. The result of tariffing Canadian built autos will be retaliatory tariffs on autos built in the USA, a net loss considering both countries will just buy more from Japan, Korea and Germany which are not tariffed. Not to mention the hit to American brands from the negative perception from a tariff war on a friendly nation. Drive down the street in any city in Canada and you see American businesses and franchises everywhere, pushing down Canadian businesses and sending profits back to America. Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, MacDonalds, Starbucks….etc, etc. Too many to list. Canada and the US are the same market. An argument can be made for tariffs on many, many countries but Canada sure isn't one of them. Trump is totally wrong on this issue. 1 hour ago, Big Blitz said: This list is bogus.

It was a mutually beneficial relationship, but one that isn’t essential. It will definitely be more painful for Canada to endure the separation, but we’ll be better for it. And unlike the US, Canadians can, and will, work together. I’m a Conservative but am able to put politics aside in a moment that requires a unified country. The US is no longer a reliable ally, and has chosen to shift its foreign policies and align itself with Putin, which is unacceptable. I am happy we are drawing a line in the proverbial sand.
