This is nothing but a finger to Camadians. There is no need for this quick trip to Europe and back, he 1st trip should have been to the GG. He is not the elected PM. Trudeau 2.0

It's more proof that he would like to prolong the trade war with the US as long as it benefits his party.

I'm not sure where you're seeing that 3 trillion number in new investment but there isn't 3 trillion dollars in new investment since trump took over at all. In fact i haven't seen any - trump has held up a number of companies as examples but ALL of their investment has been in the works for well over a year and they all already have their operations in the USA so the tarrifs didn't affect that in the slightest. Apple's building a server farm for example, but they were always going to build it in the us. Some of the pharma companies have made announcements recently but they've been working on those for years and they ALWAYS do their manufacturing and development in the us. They've been planning this for years, they just announced some of the details lately but that's got nothing to do with tariffs or trump. I can't find any examples of the tariffs convincing a company that was going to invest somewhere else to invest in the US, if you have any please share by all means. Or one that's begun the process of shutting down somewhere else as a result of the teriffs. But i suspect that in fact very very few companies are listening. Meanwhile tho at the moment he's destroyed 4 trillion dollars in wealth for corporations: US stock market loses $4 trillion in value as Trump plows ahead on tariffs | Reuters and that's money that won't be invested in the economy. Maybe it'll recover but unless things change very soon i doubt it. IF this keeps up after a few more months i suspect we'll be into a recession or close enough and that's going to last a while at that point.

Not exactly. The problem is what Trump is saying about Canada. Who was the last president to question our sovereignty like that again and again? It’s not a normal conversation between allies.

Bullshit, she ran into one of those 'put on a uniform and turn into an arsehole' border guards. She's home in Abbotsford now, as soon as the story went viral the US moved quickly to avoid further embarrassment. Embarrassed themselves far too much lately.

Actor Jeff Douglas has re-envisioned hic iconic video "I am Canadian" (released in 2000) as "We are Canadian" with current politics in mind. here's the original from 2000

Rather than allowing mass layoffs and shutdowns to take place due to tariff-related reduced U.S. demand for our steel, aluminum, and other products, Canada should seize the opportunity to modernize its infrastructure, including (but not limited to) the following: high speed rail along the Quebec-Windsor corridor increased military production (perhaps including replacing the F-35's, apart from the 16 already purchased, with made-in-Canada options) Canada East and other pipelines that are not U.S.-bound refineries to produce gasoline using Alberta heavy crude incentivize Canadian companies to upgrade facilities (helping improve productivity) This is a much better long and short-term strategy for transitioning from dependence on the U.S. than simply paying people to stay home as they are thrown out of jobs and production is slashed.

What do you think the UK and france are going to do to trump....nothing both are fighting their own trump sh1t right now... We have been dealing with this tariffs thing for how long now....most of time without justin even in the room....we still have a liberal cabinet in the house, unless your saying they can not handle doing both at once....the country does not just go on hold when an election is ongoing...This type of crises should be settled by the next elected PM...not some wanna be that inherited the seat....

What does that mean, does parliament need to be open before he sees trump and talks about tariffs...i don't think so...

Not sure why you don't vote for them , you spend most of your time defending them right here.... Liberals managed to attain 8 % of their target goal...not even close to curing anything except wasting everyone's time and money...As for PP he has not made any such claims...your making this up as you fly... Well the way we as a nation have been treating climate change ya, it is bullshit all of it...the liberals have half ass everything about climate change, and the ex climate change minister should be shot with a ball of Justins sh1T more than once...it was nothing more than a scam.....how you can't see that is telling...

Most Palestinians also reject the 2 state model. They want to wipe Israel off the map.

1. Our head of state has been silenced on this vital matter by a foreign head of government, a disgraceful situation that I predicted would occur one day - didn’t expect it so soon. 2. President Trump has repeatedly threatened our sovereignty. No reasonable person can deny that any more or pass it off as a joke.

No he's #1 Enemy of Canada. The country, the one bigger and better than the USA.

Parliament doesn't resume until the 24th. Hopefully you can wait for a whole week until he can crush your dreams.

Because they're so f*cking brainwashed by right wing rhetoric they can't 'look behind the curtain' or even dare to try. Made up slogans, catch phrases and buzzword, concepts that don't even make sense and the total obeisance to the stereotype of American Political Ignorance that the rest of the world paints the whole country with. Willing to claim how they beat the Communists single handed, yet all the while still cowering 35 years later due to 100 years of generational conditioning. People worrying incessantly about someone or something "controlling" them, yet expressing support for leaders that tell people what they can and cannot do. Pretending that they're doing the exact opposite all the while. To put it as bluntly as possible, in a supposed 'democracy' where the citizens tell their govt what to do, we have ONE MAN sitting at a table scribbling rules and laws, not a legislature of elected officials and they still can't or refuse to even see that.

That's not what you said, You just have a habit I'm waiting till someone says something intelligent and then claiming but that's what you said in the past to cover the fact that what you said was kind of dumb. I actually said something intelligent. You just said something stupid. It can take more than one sentence to actually say something intelligent with Clarity. As you have shown many times stupid can be managed in far fewer words To correct what you said you said yet again it's not while trump's in power or in charge that's the issue, it's the instability. It's quite possible he'll get this out of his system in short order and realize this isn't going where he wanted it to go and look to bring back stability, in which case the markets will return. So the question is will that happen sooner or later? If it happens too late it will be very challenging to recover and they'll have a recession and that will last a while. if they correct sooner then that money sitting on the sidelines may choose to invest and they can still have a positive outcome.

the whole idea that Canada is going to divorce itself from America is obviously a pipe dream, the politicians at least seem to recognize this reality, other than the kooks in the NDP that is

Can we talk about the true accusations or just the bastardized version the OP used?

when it comes to sticking it to America in a way that is actually going to get America's attention, Canada is going to have to take the gloves off and start cutting off the supplies ; oil, electricity, potash, etc and be willing to stand firm when Trump goes ballistic about it

$15 a day saved. Consider that a rebate you gave yourself.

Exactly. Why wouldn't we do a deal with the chinese to import cars, perhaps with parts manufacturing taking place here to help with jobs. Or slap a tariff on us cars and encourage the japanese to build more here, etc. Trump expects to move all those canadian jobs back to the us but forgets those jobs are supported entirely by canadian customers who will likely go somewhere else in protest (as tesla is finding out). So there may not be any jobs left after. Not to mention forget having the Canadian gov't help bail out the auto industry next time it gets in trouble. THe automakers know this, they've already said they've got no plans at all to even consider this. There's just no second phase here - these companies might think to themselves 'yes it would be better if all of our stuff were magically at home right now', but it's not worth the cost and disruption to move. And we haven't even touched on manpower and training.

Yup because all other countries follow suit with counter tariffs, meaning that only domestic made cars or cars from non-tariffed countries are affordable. So we literally stop buying American stuff and so does everyone else. Also, our cheap abundant resources become unaffordable to Americans. It also reduces Americans’ purchasing options and competition, raises prices, and lowering global exports. Dumb overall.

This has echoes of how Harper handled the great recession. He didn't just want to put people back to work because that creates a false economy and deepens and lengthens a recession as we learned under Bob Ray in Ontario back in the day. So he focused on shovel ready projects that we're already identified as being necessary and which would improve each region's ability to do business and recover after the economic tough times were over. While this is certainly not shovel ready the principle is very similar. This isn't just a public works, this would be a public works that would very distinctly set us up for huge success in the future brightened by making energy more affordable available and safe from foreign interference as well as creating customers around the world. And the sale of those products to other customers would produce revenues that could help recover the costs in a relatively short time Honestly I think it's exactly what we should do. I think it's relatively obvious and I think both parties are kind of talking in that direction. It's worth noting however that this was originally Andrew scheer's big idea and what he tried to run on and the conservatives have mentioned it ever since but now the liberals are trying to take it as if it was their idea Absolutely true.

He really does seem to think when a truckful of Canadian stuff comes across the border that some US External Revenue Service sends Ottawa a bill.

not built for the Canadian Arctic ; single engine, plus that engine is American requiring American logistics ; GE F414

So we can look forward to an AGW is bullshit election after all? Good to know. Or will PP present his evidence of the crisis that will force him to impose carbon pricing on fossil fuel producers? Not to mention the need for taxpayer funded subsidies to fossil fuel producers and no rebates. He's just like Carney. LMAO! Meanwhile the carbon tax did in fact reduced emissions more effectively and cheaply than any other solution that either the Conservatives or Liberals are proposing.

Did we expect anything other than crass ignorance from the Butterscotch Boor's minion? Part of the Great Again program that means you're so anti-woke you're not allowed to speak unless it offends someone, let alone realize you're doing it. Lack of shame is a virtue.

Wrong country but you get the idea😉

Oh start the battle cry! Carbon Tax Carney made you wait two weeks!

Sure he wants this for America but he clearly also wants to force other countries to make their resources available to America and to buy more American made products. Whatever isolationism he exudes is cancelled out by his predatory inclinations. He's made it perfectly clear he wants to dominate the global economy, not what you've described which is how things should be and as you say will never be achieved by slapping tariffs on everyone in sight.

Bullshit. You hate Musk so you're taking it out on his vehicles which have nothing to do with anything other than helping the environment which you scumbags claim to care about. You're a dizzy f*ck aren't ya. lol

I don't know how accurate that is, based on what we're hearing from our own politicians who have now visited American politicians and are trying to get their head around what's going on it does seem like they have an end game in mind. And while trump's personal attack are all focused on Canada the tariffs are being applied worldwide. Trump believes the way the world should work is that country should be incentivized to do business with each other but to have most of their products made and consumed close to home. He wants to try and force more industry to come back to America and do business there rather than the current global supply chain concept made elsewhere and then shipped to the US. The tariffs are supposed to inspire that and basically do a global reset on the global economy. I do not for a minute believe that is how this is going to turn out. I cannot think of an instance in history where restricting trade and reducing people's ability to do business with each other has led to greater prosperity. In fact generally speaking the opposite is true But that is his plan and that it seems to be his hope and that is his end game. Which means the tariffs are probably never coming off. They might be eased or there might be some sort of deals made but trump is an isolationist. He does not want global trade, he prefers the us to only focus on the us.

It's very simple: NEVER. Your vacuous responses are ALWAYS BANKRUPT.

I suspect if she were really flagged, they would have charged her with something. I think the border guards were just overzealous. What I'd like to know is why. But what really gets me is if she was arrested in in what looks like the California border and then -transferred- to a for profit prison in Arizona. Some pretty high level corruption here going on, and in this case, the buck stops at Trump, who reversed Biden's policies on for profit prisons on the second day of his presidency.

Basic message: avoid America. Don’t dream of going there unless you absolutely have to. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/german-tourists-detained-otay-mesa-detention-center/3770608/

You mean ACCUSED. Of course he LIED about that, lDIOT. Are you really so STUPID that you don't know that Trump is a pathological LIAR? Just like when he called REPORTING ILLEGAL. Duh

For god's sake, it's OBVIOUS! They both BREATHED AIR!!!!! LIke constantly, they were both practically addicted to the stuff!!! Also, hitler once started a speech with 'My friends.... " and trump did EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Seriously @Radiorum, you guys have to stop this. There is no reasonable parallel between hitler's rise to power and trumps other than in such broad sweeping terms as to be applicable to most or all political leaders. They were both elected i suppose And the world was entirely a different place. Germany had just barely begun flirting with democracy and prior to that had been a monarchy and many still wanted to go back to that. Structure of the government was different, pretty much everything was different. There is literally nothing in common unless you stretch the definition of things to a point of Ridiculousness. And these useless and pointless accusations already cost you an election. It's time to wake up and smell the coffee. It is beyond childish to continue to try and make the argument that somehow trump is connected with Hitler. Or the asinine statement that if we somehow avoid thinking about that we do so at our own peril. It's time to grow up and deal with trump for being trump. You can take a look at what he's doing now and judge the success or failure of his policies based on that result but all you're doing when you mention the word Hitler in connection with him is causing people to look at you and tune you out as being infantile and not serious. There's plenty of real concerns to raise and discuss about trump. We don't need fake crap to try and frame the discussion

Canadians have a lot to fear from this WEF globalist shill. Carney is an environ'mental' wacko, and a more pro carbon tax thief. Corney wants to flood Canada with millions of third world immigrants that Canadians cannot afford to absorb. Our medical and social services are going bankrupt thanks to the liberals wanting to bring in millions and millions of useless people who will do nothing to help make Canada great. Corney even moved his own business to the States after all this tariff nonsense started. Corney is not Canadian, he is a WEF globalist that believes in slavery and tyranny for Canadians. Just my opinion.

You are not alone in your Malthusian doomsday attitude. There are countless end-of-the-world prophets. The data tells another story. To illustrate, again, a simple hypothetical question you are to be reborn in a random place on Earth, you can choose the year, what year would you choose?

I once heard way back in 2000 that this Douglas guy was an American and he did the video in Canada or America. Hey, we never know, eh? 🤔

Haha.. Using leftist opinions to discard the source. How predictable

Did you need a drool bib? You kind of sound like you need a drool bib. You're obviously foaming at the mouth

Ah yes. The "Trump is Hitler because he's nothing like Hitler and Hitler was nothing like Hitler so they are the same" argument. And to preceed that with a texr book rule #2 use is just priceless. The irony that this guy has a thread about ignoring people that contribute nothing is not lost on me.

Yes we all know that and we all know the majority of Israelis feel the same way about Palestinians. This is what being at war for nearly a 100 years will do to people. Like I said, they need to be kept separate from one another for a generation or two until they can calm down enough to start thinking straight again. If OTOH you want to pick sides the hatred will just spread the way it has been until its global. Do you plan on giving an inch?

this forum is hosted in America, this is not Canada here, go ahead and criticize, I find it amusing ; you coming to the defence of the Justin Trudeau - Melanie Joly - Sophie Gregoire love triangle I follow the rules of the forum, be they as they are, otherwise I would have been long ago banned by now Greg has never once complained about my content, if he has a problem he can let me know I never defied the Moderator and I don't defy the Administrator ; so what's the problem ?
