Here comes the tariffs.......

..somehow he has a strangle hold on his devout followers and I just can't figure out why.....

That’s probably the question of the decade, so far anyway.

I personally just don't get it...

When/who was the last president to set a decent, ethic, moral example for the people to emulate?

Here in Canada, I liked Stephen Harper that led us through our Afghanistan/Iraq deployments.....but the last guy was less than stellar and this guy who is the interim prime minister is just a carbon copy of the last one...

I'd like it if Poilievre gets in....he seems more switched on...

To me Barack Obama but that’ll set the hair of some of the members here on fire. Bush Sr I thought had an excellent demeanor as well.

Poilievre seems to realize that your country with a GDP of 2.5 Trillion as opposed to a single state California GDP of almost twice that, 4.08 Trillion and a US total of 28 Trillion needs smart negotiation. Carney on the other hand wants to be muscle man against Trump. Good luck with that.

I'm not going to start posting the myriad of economic experts talking about how bad these particular tariffs are for the current economy......and there are lots of them....they can't all be wrong and Trump be the only one on the planet that's right.......somehow he has a strangle hold on his devout followers and I just can't figure out why.....

O'Leary is a Canadian by birth only and his views are controversial at best according to many economists-not only Canadian ones either thanks. The Canadian leadership is retaliating....really? And what did you honestly expect them to do....fly down to bend a knee and kiss the ring?

You have your views, I have mine and they don't match.....not a big deal.......as you pointed out, I have better things to do with my time.

You don't have to link anything. Nor ask me to challenge it. If these economist are the same people that project election polls, we know how that turned out.

Every economist that opposed Biden gave us a 100% slam dunk forecast that Biden's economy was all but certain it would end in depression. It did not. They were wrong. And there were scores of them.

About a week or so ago you said you were not going to post into anything politics. I'm not sure why you abandoned that idea. It really isn't improving your mental health. If people agree with you you still post hate. If people don't agree with you, you still post hate. You didn't vote for Trump. You don't support him. You can join in on the gang that posted hate on him both before and after he was elected. You seem to feel your echo chamber suggest that nobody likes Trump. Over half the American population voted for him. Every swing state did. 89% of all counties in America did. Every segment of every ethnic group and gender voted in bigger numbers for him this time, than last time. They are a less than 3 months into his term. Perhaps some of them have doubts. But I doubt it would be many. You seem to have quickly forgotten we were more like your Truedau for decades. That ended less than 3 months ago. Trump has got a llllooooonnnngg way to fall before America will forget what he replaced.

For the dozenth time I will state, I don't like his chaotic approach to things. I don't like his personal character flaws. I don't like his general personality. I don't like that he is the figurehead for the Republican party. That troubles me what he is turning that party into. And I don't think his mental acuity is what it was 8 years ago. He's an old guy in decline also.

But I will give him credit. He still has the Liberals doing anything possible to discredit every breath he takes. Something about Trump has them very very worried. What they should instead be doing is rebuilding their party so they might actually offer a better solution in 4 years. Because if all they do is rinse and repeat for another 4 years, they may not see the political light of day for decades. If and I'll make it a big IF, what Trump is doing overall, overall works. Canada will align with him. So will Mexico.

I hope your mental health can survive that.

Of course you are 100% correct.......I'm weak and got sucked in.......that's a fact right there and I'm glad you pointed that out so I can correct this.

The tariff thread was not supposed to go political as it was supposed to be a discussion about why they would be levied and the trade war started....it was more out of anger and frustration and as we know cognizant thought goes out the window when that happens......when things spill out of your country into mine, things get personal in a real hurry I guess.....

.....and I should know better as I've been in enough countries of which this has happened on a large scale and the outcome has never been positive nor good.....

I may have to take a hiatus from the forum for a while to regroup, I'm here far too often.....

Stuff like this gets my blood boiling too much I guess....

Trump's threats leave Canadian Afghan war veterans feeling angry and betrayed​

I’ll surprise you by agreeing.
