I assume you're all in favor of tariffs?

I sure as heck don't blame them. What the heck goes through that man's head, I can't wrap my mind around. The astonishing thing is apparently intelligent people like TallTom and Jellyrug support him, to an extent, as well.
Canada is sitting on a mountain of natural resources countries like China salivate over.....

If we ever got an unscrupulous government in power, we'd make out like bandits and have a gigantic GDP....

.......and all of that is accessible to the US president who instead of embracing this good fortune decided to place tariffs on us....

Don't forget to include Blanca in that group who literally thinks there is divinity behind trump. TallTom actually said "I swear I pay more taxes under Biden....." clearly not realizing the 2017 Trump tax plan doesn't even expire until this year, so you can't really put too much stock into anything TallTom says....

True all 3 are fairly intelligent but blinded by what I'll call angry dislike rather than hate. I get that playing chess. I make a mistake and compound it by making more blunders. Anger is not a constructive emotion lol.
 
We Canadians are tough and will weather this storm like we always do......

Interesting enough he pushed his bullying tariffs to Mexico a month...most likely because they didn't strike back...

For some reason he figures he's punishing Canada but his own citizens are not happy and this unhappiness will build once the tariffs fully kick in and brings production to a stand still.....we are already diverting our aluminum to a very happy EU.....

Maybe these tariffs are a good thing for our country to wake up and see the US in a different light then conduct more off-shore trade omitting the US entirely.....we would gain more economic growth in doing so.....
 
There must have been some serious ring kissing involved to get the tariffs delayed 30 days....

Frickin' cowards....I would have held his feet to the fire as he is hurting his own people as well...........and they won't like it....

Now we and Mexico have given him more power over us.....
 
A short clip from Ronald Reagan who arguably was the best president the US has known.....I didn't focus on the part with JD Vance....

 
Probably the best thing one can do with friendship, is stay away from politics.

So, all I am alluding to is some undeniable facts, as one has to look at this from both sides.

Besides what Trump is alluding to, US banking is allowed in Canada, but there are specific requirements, exactly the same as communist China in terms of running a business. For a US bank to operate in Canada, they must have a Canadian equity partner, allowing Canadian ownership. The US do not have similar restrictions. Not fair.

Dairy, not fair:


The main thing Trump was asking for and Canada blinked:


Doing business with Canada from here has always been a pain:


Personal experience:

For a vendor of specialized equipment, sending a tech into Canada to do service or repair work, the only way we could do it, was to be dishonest. If the tech had to state reason for entry to do work on equipment in a factory, the person would not be granted access. Perhaps things have changed today, but that was my experience? We had to pick the tech's going there very carefully, some would refuse to enter on false pretences. Eventually, at enormous costs, we had to train Canadians and keep them on a retainer. Those restrictions to Canadians coming here do not exist.

Now you have to ruin everything coming in here with your gosh darn facts! :-).

Welcome.

Go figure.

To do work in Canadian factories with US techs, they have permits and procedures. The bureaucracy to get the paperwork done took months though, mean time factories had to run.

We trained a Canadian tech, 6 months, had to buy a truck fully equipped with tools and gear, plus buy storage for it.

Here comes the ironic part. To keep the Canadian tech busy, 90% of his work was working for customers in the US, 10% was in Canada.

Only way we could do it.

I am starting to see why the Canadians are such fans of California now.
 
You certainly seem to be supportive of the management of Ca.
Just like yourself, I don't really know what the management of Ca are doing.......and how they are conducting business and if they are doing a poor job or not......that's above my pay grade........we can have an opinion and that's about it.

The American president is supposed to be the president for ALL Americans, not just the ones he picks and chooses to be. He should have thrown the rhetoric aside and ensured the affected people of California were taken care of after all they are American citizens too....

I lived in Ca. Every year the fires came, and were managed. EVERY YEAR. We didn't lose our beaches to tent cities of homeless. We didn't have cities being strangleholded by homeless people and their "rights".

When I was there it was about the most expensive place in the U.S. to live. We didn't have all those excuses as to that's why it crumbled.

I personally don't see the difference between a republican or democrat or in our speak a conservative or liberal....to me they are the same...

Either one would screw you over without even thinking about it.

I think it is more the person than the party that makes the difference....

How long ago did you live in California and who was the governor.....
