Or did he do it so his billionaires can buy up stocks and then do it again in 90 days?

OMG! The Europeans aren't buying F350 4x4s because of tariffs! I always thought it was because they had trains and trams, public transit, the roads were too small, and the price of gas was much, much more. Drop the tariffs and they rush to buy cars that cost 50 euros to go 100 km....

How to decide who to vote for: Vote like I tell you. Such a well of wisdom. "Saviour of the Nation"

Yes, just like Harper, pass a new Crime Bill every 24 hours for 4 years and have every single one struck down. We used to have a "habitual criminal" law to cover this that was struck down 40 yrs ago. Now we've got another Tory touring this, knowing full well it's unconstitutional and millions of dimwits supporting do the same thing that doesn't work over and over again expecting results to be different. Let's improve Canada by mimicking the redneck states, eh? Once again our resident "Christian", without knowing the situation or sentence imposed, cherry picks a single incident to cause the most outrage and insists it's the norm, tying in the point the govt of the time is Liberal and concluding they must be the cause. Can you dig up a few more logical errors you think will make your point? Mr. Potatohead: Trudeau saw every mandatory minimum struck down so he was obviously much much smarter then PP and his supporters to waste time pursuing the idea.

Had a drinking buddy like you decades back. Never made any sense at all, but kept conversations going endlessly.

Anyone into 3D printers? My kid told me to buy one to play with instead of wasting $$ that will just end up her inheritance. F off with only buying things you need, buy things you want and enjoy them FFS, she said. Stupid tariff BS has put a new car out of the picture.

Oh we'll show them Dakotans! 100% tariff on corn and missile silos.

We run into each other every evening taking our dogs Out for a Trump. That is the term used by everyone in the neighbourhood. That is the respect given to your Fanta Fuhrer by loyal Canadians. Which his supporters north of the border are not.

The most demented justification of Trump's destruction of the world's economy yet: isolationism isn't isolationism because I say so. Protectionism doesn't mean you can't compete because I say so. Globalism is bad even though I couldn't define it to save my ass. Conservatives reject free trade, just like Ronald Reagan did. Idiocracy is rampant!

No matter how reprehensible or disgusting anyMAGA claim or action is, this guy will support it. The only 'Deluge' is the overflow of bowel contents into his cranium.

Funny how this thread began before Trump's bombastic claims happened. The idea that a bloody Province is 'sustainable' plays right into the bean-counter mentality that it should be sold off or given away. I mean, really if they do not make a profit, what use are they, eh? That's the only reason for existence, right? Maybe trade both away for Point Roberts and the NW Angle as the US could see them as 'unsustainable'?

First he can explain about the "Provincial Sovereignty" he imagines exists. Along with the Federal responsibilities he thinks doesn't. This is another example of someone unclear on how "rights" and a strongman telling everyone else what to do don't fit in the same sentence.

It's funny how among the right the word 'weak' is a common theme. A couple generations cowering about the might of Russia that's revealed as a paper tiger and they now use the militaristic term allegorically to the economy. After decades of doing pretty well in world of free trade, with the advent of the Mango Mor0n's unilateral change back to 19th century protectionism, they bawl about the "weakness" of not predicting that as if it was an oncoming asteroid noticed decades before and ignored. Canada was never a 'manufacturing' powerhouse, I grew up hearing my Dad and my Grandfather proclaim how the lack of manufacturing and secondary processing were major flaws in Canada, how we relied far too much on raw resources. I worked a couple years building trucks under the old Auto Pact, and NAFTA was what made the Cdn auto industry. Entire programs were implemented to skill our workers away from simplistic assembly line jobs and leave those to other countries where they could be done cheaper and more efficiently. And those countries became new trade partners to market to. So WTF is with the m0ronic idea we can only benefit by exporting more raw materials and reclaiming manufacturing we never had? Rather than manufacturing things others don't make and using what we have to encourage new opportunity. AI, communication and data delivery, chip design and production, etc. FFS if Ontario wants car plants, arrange some partnership to take a closed one and use someone like electroMechannica to build small EVs w Cdn batteries that have 150-200km range to get to work, the grocery store, to soccer practice in. They will sell, and even if the US tariffs them - the US automakers will not build them as their profit margins aren't good enough for their greedy hands.

Nice of you to try to convince us that most Albertans are behind the foolish antics of Danielle and even refer to a 5 yr old poll from a separatist outfit as 'proof'. Sorry to say, the reliance on the outdated opinion the 'only way' to solve dick shit is to pump up the production and export of oil, in spite of world economic conditions and tariffs is ridiculous.

Oh turn on your Boob Tube at night and see. Ads and infomercials for Dr Quack Ho's latest gizmo, testosterone miracle drinks and old fashioned snake oil all night long. Pseudo science can make all the bullshit claims to it's benefits, yet legit pharma can only mention it's side effects, not even say WTF the medication is for ! And like my buddy's ex, the woman diagnosed as crazy is running around telling everyone how stupid Doctors are and she's gonna cure her schizoid with keto diets and exersize routines and kidnap her grandkids if their Mom even thinks of vaxing them for MMR etc. Too many of them actually listen to her.

For 50,000 in my pocket I could buy the house next door. Wouldn't help worth shit to buy the house I grew up in in Burnaby. Wouldn't buy the lumber to build a new one there from scratch either. Basic housing is what needs to return. Usable, fuctional roof over your head, fix it up yourswelf if you want it fancier starter homes. Those have all gone, all been upgraded over the years. There are no more unfinished basements, unseeded lawns, no marble countertops and built in dishwasher & appliances all included, new ones without these haven't been built for decades and all the preoccupied ones come with decades of upgrades. FFS I've done that myself and so have almost all my neighbours but half the market ignorant fools on the forum don't even think you CAN add value to your home, let alone everyone has or does. The powers of the ancient Pharoahs make property values increase.[/s]

The handful of ingrate Albertans has been given 10,000 X more press than they deserved since Day One. They deserve a good smack down and to be out in their place. Merely a handful of shameless traitors who think For A Few Dollars More is a founding principle to build a country on.

Oh talk about it... if they or you were actially protesting a threat to anyone's freedom, knew dick shit about law (esp about assembly), or even how govt works. Tha a$$holes leading the bone stupid. And I'm sure your freedom talk goes 180 degrees the other way referring to logging or pipeline protesters.

Go ahead, dig into it. Find every fault in it. Then try to tell us how someone else's housing plan is better. Ya look at what's on the table, and your supposed to pick the best one.

No, dummy. By posting that as a topic it made YOU look like a dummy for using a fakenews.com as a reference. Include [/sarc] or unless the reader is so oblivious they've never heard of beaverton or theonion.com it's a lame DUH I was 'joking' after comment. With your history of posting the stupidest most bullshit topics it merely looks like another.

I hate to sound like a commie like Brian Mulroney but the GST should not be charged on any home or shelter, food, clothing or medical. But then again if you actually think $1,000,000 instead of $1,050,000 is going to either make people rush out and build and buy new homes you're welcome to keep dreaming.

Got that advice from a techie friend I once respected when I told him the wife had Stage 4 lung cancer. He "knew of" a guy who's brain tumour was miraculously cured by a single dose and group prayers. I had a whole bottle of dog dewormer but she passed the next day before I could go home and get it. Meanwhile, God is facepalming not realizing his Pennsylvania 'warning' was just too damn subtle for someone as thick as The Mango M0ron and his clown posse of Trumpalos.

The illiterati strike again....

I expressed shock to hear someone tell me they'd just got out of jail for car theft. Again? That's like the ninth time you've been jailed for that! Well you gotta do what you're good at, he replied.
