Then you must be on crack, because you failed to include capitalist, maybe social democratic if you factor in the Bernie wing I doubt you even understand most of words you wrote.

Testify

I couldn't care less what Trump says because he doesn't know anything about anything, my point was always that If you got that upset at what junior said and dismiss what Trump said. You're a partisan hack, focused only on your opinion and it has nothing to do with politics or values. It's a nothing burger, that will have zero influence with those that actually make decisions

Only joke is you, son

I do sympathize with you logic is difficult for people like you with diminished mental capacities.

I didn't say it will make things better, just that's its in no way as important as you're making it out to be. First anyone that would be offended by what junior said is a snowflake. Second,Fox News watchers are not informed voters and will support anything Trump tells them to. You want proof, most (fox News watchers) think tariffs are imposed directly on the foreign seller and don't understand that it's just a tax (imposed by the govt) on the end buyer Actual decision makers couldn't care less about an off the cuff remark a most likely outgoing head of government says. The people that do make decisions ie. Governors, CEOs, etc.. care only about the bottom line. So I respectfully submit that your issue with what Justin said, is nothing more than selective outrage. Hell the fox News anchors were more disrespectful to our PM then he was to Americans.

I am aware that the tariffs were announced after your post and was in no way implying that you had ignored or purposely excluded them from your assessment, but the fact that they have now been announced ,strongly supports my original assertion. Of course we agree that the dollar could fall low enough that it would be detrimental to our economy but I know we can also agree that the dollar being too high also has negative effects for our economy and the dollar is still trading at around 70$ which isn't that bad. The day it drops under 60 I will join your little crusade enthusiasticly. Of course we also import (though I believe we do export more than import) but our major imports are A) machinery (most often used to modernize and/or improve production) B. Things like refined crude, car parts and lumber. There are of course many other imported things but let's start with these. So for A. a low dollar is necessary to generate enough revenue to to buy new machinery and to have enough market share to justify the need for more production For B. in these industries , we and the states ( as well as Mexico for the auto industry) work in partnership and often within the same parent company allowing them to set there own prices while dealing across borders. Do you know how many times even a single automotive component can be sent between us the states and Mexico? We do something here, goes to Mexico, then back here, then to the states, etc, etc etc.. do you honestly think that everytime each piece crosses the border we pay the exchange? For oil and lumber it pretty much the same, we send crude and trees, they send back gas and 2×4s So again, the key economic matric as it pertains to the dollar is duration not depreciation

Was he now? I think you're just showing selective outrage , because you're a partisan hack. But if you honestly think saying our nation is nothing more than the 51st state, is less offensive than pointing out the fact that the US failed to elect a women ( both clearly better candidates) twice, then you simply lack intelligence. My guess, a lot of both

Read a book nimrod

Your link was of fox News talking heads, most of their audience are misogynist, deplorable, garbage bigots, who will love or hate anyone their dear leader tells them to (see all of the best people Trump hired and how quick they turned on them after being fired or simply stating truths about trump he didn't like) I don't think this is a big deal at all but just an excuse to shit on Justin, aka partisan politics and I think that does much more damage to Canada then any lame comment from junior

Exactly, that's how logic works. Even if the conclusion is correct (I'm not saying it is or is not in this case) if it doesn't follow from the premise then the entire argument is fallacious and does not merit reflection. Here's an example. Probably the most known syllogism goes as follows: P1: All men are mortal P2: Socrates is a man Conclusion : Socrates is mortal You can see this is both a sound and valid argument because, if the premises are true the conclusion must be true Now if I say P1: All men are mortal P2: Socrates is a man Conclusion : when it rains puddles form on the street You can now see that the conclusion does not follow from the premises , so although it is true puddles form after rain, the argument itself has no merit 😄Be scared little man, I do work for Soros and I've sent the WEF to your house. You'll be in a black site by tomorrow for daring to question the new world order.

Again it's about duration not depreciation You are downplaying the economic benefits of a low dollar, not just on the basics of economics but the specificities of our economy (particularly with trump threatening tariffs). We are a nation that depends on exporting, our largest trading partner is the U.S , a low dollar promotes the US to buy our goods, therefore add money to our economy. I'm sure you understand the concept of how money multiples. With an ever changing dollar, we sell when the dollar is low and in turn can buy new machinery etc, when it goes back up. You also brought up tourism and a lower dollar helps there as well. A couple examples one based on actual numbers the other admittedly anecdotal. The Montreal jazz festival brings in 10s of millions directly and it's estimated at around 100 million indirectly. That one festival brings in enough to support almost every small festival in the province. I'm currently working at a ski resort in BC and have personally spoken to numerous Americans that ski here because of a low dollar. Ergo more opportunities to multiply the money in our economy

I'm in no way defending Trudeau, but this kind of reaction to his lame comment, whilst showing no outrage to Trump suggesting Canada is analogous to the 51st state , (which is exponentially more insulting to Canadians then pointing out the fact that Americans failed to elect a woman twice in favor of possibility the least qualified man to ever be president) does not meet the standard of someone of your intelligence, which leads me to believe this is nothing more than empty partisanship opinion.

Though a weak dollar does have some disadvantages like lowering purchasing power, it also provides for goods manufactured in Canada to be more attractive to foreign buyers allowing for the multiplication of money in our economy therefore alleviating some of the aforementioned disadvantages. If it doesn't stay deprecated for too long, it can have positives.

In fact she has already been president. It was during a medical procedure on Biden

As much as I am with of the homeless crazy dude yelling "The End is Nigh" on the street corner, so not at all You on the other hand said you "couldn't agree more" with a post that began with WEF, globalist nonsense, effectively encouraging the aforementioned crazy dude on the corner. Do you think Alex Jones (who claims to get downloads directly from god, explaining the globalists plots) is in any way, shape or form credible?

Did I say anything about a climate crisis? I said that using Alex Jones level conspiracy theories makes one look like a raving mad man. Are you afraid of Klaus Schwab?

And because you start your post with Alex Jones talking points, the rest can just be ignored. But aren't you worried that Soros will read this and come after you?

Why?

And you know garbage, you need look no farther than your reflection

I think of my time in high school debate and just laugh at how poorly most people on here would do For example, you just admitted to using logical fallacies, so if this was scored on points, I could literally walk away from the podium, because you already lost. Seriously try harder

Right, you just keep on thinking that this quality of argument will "move the independents"

I'm in Onterrible right now, in a whole south of Ottawa (From MTL) temporarily to help my (foster)Mom, but I just bought a Sprinter converted into a campervan and I'm heading to BC for the winter. No you don't 😘

Same old, same old, all rhetoric, no substance, NOT persuading

There's a big cloud around my head but I forgot why I wrote that. Hahaha Stuck in the little shed I built for my mom because it's raining. We may disagree on who of us is the ant, but I think we do agree game recognizes game. That show was way before my time
