Brics bloc

Trump realizes that the biggest threat to the U.S. is the debt and it is imperative that it be reduced- when you look at all the money spent around the world you realize that something must be done - we fund nearly everything while other countries watch - this can't continue - we were funding WHO at the highest level even though our population is much smaller than China's or India's - we have our military all over the world protecting other countries- why? - our trade deficit with many countries is out of wack - there is no doubt that the U. S. and Canada will come to an agreement that serves both countries - things will go easier if a conservative takes the helm in Canada -

The bases all over the world is a great expense
Think Musk was tweeting ways and cuts that totaled hundreds of billions in annual savings.

Trump wants the taliban to give back the military equipment they just refused lol.

Speaking of military all the those bases around the world isn't enough for the Americans to Winn a war. Sadly they have lost pretty much every one since Vietnam . They lost the Vietnam War they lost the Afghanistan war they lost to Iraq they are loosing in Ukraine's proxy . Isreal just lost its goal to defeat hamas that was the whole purpose yet they only managed to destroy the city and kill 10s of thousands of civilians including 10s of thousands of children. It's a Loss in my books as they said the main goal was to eliminate hamas and they did not..

However they did just let a former al qaeda leader take over Syria I guess that's a win in their books. They are just rebals not know terrorists lol. Too funny

All is good but it was said months ago that they were not going to creat a new currency. Rather biuld a new trading system or platform. Essentially a new swift system.

It could be any currency and or commodity including grains, oils, metals , working trades ect . Most of all digital currency they are all working on it.

Do you know how many companies in Canada and the usa who pay in the Chinese yuan rmb? Lots. Canada made it happen since 2015 for cross border payments. Partners just being Partners. They already told you what they want we just need to recognize it.

Was the fastest growing currency in 2024.

So 100% tarrifs if they create a new currency. Most likely won't happen as they will use their own currencies.

I'm hearing that Indonesia and India will settle its trades thought its local currencies. Was talk about it while back in 2023-2024 .

How do you punish them for not using American dollars between 2 different countries. That isn't even dealing with them, if they buy from India using the rupees what's the problem? Americans can't benefit off it that's all.

So Canada will be slapped with terrifs . Instead of working with them we focused on retaliation measures. Liberals have proposed a pandemic type stimulus for those that will be affected. To bad they can't pass anything while they suspended Parliament. Just a ploy for more votes.

With carney running its will be no different than a Trudeau government and the lids are will be desperate for a win.

We all should know that "working with a bully" only makes things worse. The only thing a bully understands is a swift kick right in the berries. I'm amazed that everyone is in poopy pants mode this early when,in fact,tariffs are paid by the importer (American) who passes them on to their customers (American) sending their prices higher,first. If the importer can secure a domestic source quickly at a lower price,then,tariffs will work sooner rather than later. The "trickle down affect" will come back to the Canadian supplier resulting in lost orders,lower production and in many cases,layoffs sending the unemployment rate up. If the American importer can't secure a domestic source at a lower cost (fat chance or they already would have) ,then,they're faced with two options....bite the bullet until or shut down their operations. My point is,they have much more to lose with tariffs than without. For Canadian exporters,the only choice is to either scale back operations or apply some foresight,seize the opportunity to secure international markets abroad and supply them with lucrative contracts to keep their businesses running. When the Americans realize they're on the poopy end of the stick and ask to re-establish supply lines,our answer should be "Sorry,we're maxxed out. Can't help you".

100%

Now is the time to explore new markets, restructure sectors to balance unemployment. And at the very least, have a spine and be patriotic.

Yet if we came up with a proper plan to protect our boarders and reduce the amount fentanyl coming in we probably could of avoided any tarrifs at all. That would of been a Win win for both economy's In many ways.

Canadians can't afford to play games or an increase in living. It's said that 63 % of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Most don't have a 1000 if they need it.

Here in Canada I was reading a story about the 200 stimulus we just got and it was for a cat vet appointment. Without it she had to cancel it because her cheuqe bounced she only made it because of the benefit. Pretty sad.

The consequences could have a devastating impact on many Canadians.

First,you need to understand that Fentanyl coming into Canada isn't the issue. It's Fentanyl coming from Canada into the US is what Trump is using as an excuse to apply tariffs. The number is ridiculously small. There's more coming into Canada from the US than is going out. Secondly,there's a hell of a lot more Canadians living pay cheque to pay cheque than Americans by almost 20% according to records from TDCanada Trust with almost 10% of Canadian families relying on food banks. Third,there's no denying that we're going to hurt,badly,by Trump's trade war,but,so are the Americans and in some cases much worse. That's why these policies of lose-lose make ZERO sense.
