When the nut in charge down south does something crazy why is it our governments fault? Gee, would the orange guy not have imposed tariffs if the cons. were in power? Hello lor you sound just like Jben.

That would make LoR a good lad too.Quote:

If you don't like it, and whine, well maybe all the widget makers in my country and the country south of you all raise the price of widgets to $3.00. You have to have widgets to manufacture your Thing-a-bobs, so what do you do? Import from over seas? Well there are the same tariffs on those widgets as well, plus higher transportation and logistical costs. Every widget maker in the world has a tariff to import to your country, but not between each other. Stop making things that need widgets, or remove your tariff.
Oh you say you'll just build factories to make your own widgets, go ahead. But where are you going to get the raw material from? Every country that has the raw material to make widgets, has put an Export ban on Raw Materials to your country or raised the price of it to levels that it is not affordable.
The world can live without the US. The US can not live without the World.
I am not going to pretend the transition would be without problems, but it can be done.
Well, it safe to assume that Trump hates Liberals and would do anything to put them in a difficult position so in a way having Pretty boy in power doesn't help our cause. Trump isn't the brightest so having a guy who look and think like him could probably do the trick. What do you think?Quote:

Just think North Korea joins the modern world, and the US becomes an isolated nation....talk about a role reversal
Harper had tried to diversify us away from the US dependence with new trade agreements. It would definitely be to our advantage to try and reduce our dependence on the US.Quote:

Same old tired arguements, over and over and over again. Here we are 14 years later (2006 when some started to see the growth in PS and raise flags....many didnt want to hear it)....And even when Drummond kicked the lid off the can (who is basically a left wing economist and one I really put a a lot of stock in, along with Mintz who is right wing).....And here we are, still “arguing” the same crap....The LEFT ( JT in this case) trade punches with the right (Trump) and vice versa....Caught in the crossfire is that class of people who are rising up, and starting essentially class warfare ( the ones no one really cares about)......Populism, and Marie Antoinette even......
He also decided he’d had enough of capitalism, and despite believing heads have to roll when “Bay” street does it thing....When all 200 of our heads rolled (that thing called accountability). Decided he had enough of the bS, lies, consumerism we all aree fed steady diets of..
He went country and joined OPSEU.
Then saw with his own eyes, some of the crap on that side f the fence...and also how OPSEU treats their own little people (like crap). Lol the pages I could write....
He then went to a plant that manufactures Steel and ALum (Tool and Die) for all aotumotive manufactures, Hydro companies and more.
In short loving life, the country life, out of the rat race, away from the lemmings and god almighty green back that both sides use to treat the common man, the peons like 3rd class citizens.
Came back for the buy and sell forums. Things im looking for and wanted to see how people felt about WYnne finally getting the boot....Way, way, way too late.
We are in a world of hurt...well some are anyways...
If the Liberals truly want to do something, hit them where it hurts. In the nuts. If theres one thing I learned in life as a young kid. Dont strat them, finish them.
Cut off the flow of Oil, Hydro and fresh water...Then watch the American populace scream for Trumps head.
I don't know what the future will bring, but remember this about 80% of the non-Canadian grown fresh food we buy in the store comes from places outside the US. I am currently carrying so much bonded freight ( remember 99.995% of my loads are food) between Mexico and Canada, that I have not pickup or delivered freight to or from an American company in about eight months. For example pork from Alberta plants in bond to Mexican import warehouses on the texas/Mexico border, drive 26Km and load Oranges bonded and Quarantined by Homeland security for movement to Canada. The freight is coming and going through Mexican Ports, to and from every place in the world.
It's not just food. Everything from diapers to bulldozers are being moved this way.
If you are worried about the price of an American built car/truck, I say let them buy their own crap.:madman: I'll buy a Toyota Hilux built in Mexico ( yup they build them there for Mexico, Central, and south America), over anything that is designed and built to meet California standards any day of the week. :thumbup:
Guess I am alittle tired of everyone telling me I should buy a "Domestic Automobile " and not give my money to foreign workers. :angry: My Tacoma was built is TX, with parts made in North America, and assembled by US workers. But it's still called a foriegn truck. :silly:
I say pull the pin, lets see what happens..:ninja:
From some of the media they talk about Trudope stabbing Trump in the back ...
https://www.facebook.com/brianlilley...3319952401718/
Over and over outside the media machine is right and what I hear is that the PM puppet almost had a deal in private and then decides to throw it out the window in public to score Canadian points .... seems to me Trudeau threw Canada under the Trump tank to get some points probably in relationship to the Ford win if I had to guess why, not a good reason but that is Justlied for you. Trump is a negotiator, make him happy and he will make sure you are happy, piss on his pant leg and he will cut of your pant leg... probably with the leg still in it!
Over 80% of our exports go to the US... I am just thankful a trade war is the worst that can happen (still bad) ... about 100 years ago WW1 started over an assassination .... and how is our military doing.... used jets, sleeping bag recalls (this actually kind of makes sense but has poor optics), defer, delay.......

They could reduce Canada to a starving pauper without a huge impact, it would be big but as mentioned above just look at OUR food imports...
