You had me up 'til visionary.

People are talking about just buying Canadian products. Unfortunately that's next to impossible. (Like the comedian said , "New Brunswick pineapple tastes a lot like corn") It's gonna hurt us a lot if this goes on for a while.

M A G A ! Make America Go Away ! (Well, a fella can dream, can't he?)

So you see everything in black and white. Just like roulette - you're wrong half the time.

Yes, that was heart-breaking. But no matter how much we do on the border, a few will still slip through. My point is: The border is Trump's excuse for imposing tariffs, not his reason for doing so.

No downside. But the hosts of immigrants are walking up from Central America, not down from the Arctic. Actually our border is already pretty secure. The U.S. could do more to keep guns and drugs coming across from their side.

You actually think Trump gives a shit about our border? He was gonna put these tariffs on no matter what! He's a bully and a short-term thinker making a money grab - doesn't give a damn even about American consumers.

Trump the economist? More like a sorcerer's apprentice. We all know how well that turned out.

It might not be if they opt for isolationism.

When asked about Elon Musk, P.P. said he'd like to ask him "How do we fix our economy and create jobs?" If he has no clue what to do about the economy he can't be elected to run it. Oh yeah, he wants to "wax his ax" or "spike a dike" or some other empty slogan. Yeah, that'll fix everything.

Pierre Poilevre faces the press.

Trump will be done by the midterms. The house for sure, maybe even the senate. He'll be such a lame duck then even Lindsey Graham will pull his head out of Trump's ass and say what he thinks. Btw: Lindsey does his scheduled pullout Feb. 2nd. If he sees a commie he sticks it back in for a year. Wonder what it smells like up there? I'm guessing "Pumpkin Spice".

I'm new here. Until I read some of the posts on here I didn't realize how horrible a place Canada is. Thinking now of moving to Sudan or North Korea, maybe Haiti ... They have Doordash there?

Thanks for the polite welcome.

The tariffs aren't about trade deficits, supply management, immigrants or fentanyl... Trump doesn't care about or understand any of those things ( Except maybe the immigrant thing. I've read Melania was an illegal immigrant - she must have such a good pre-nup Trump is taking his anger out on all the other immigrants). He just thinks tariffs will bring in so much money he can pass another tax cut for the rich and hope the inflation won't kick in before the mid-terms. Sound like a good idea to talk with Mexico and other targeted countries. Just keep it on the down low.

Interested in seeing Carney in a debate situation. Also wondering if Wab Kinew might move to federal politics.

So if Russia gets a big chunk (or all) of Ukraine they will not only have one of the largest reserve of oil in the world but also control of one of the largest food exporters in the world. I don't think the West wants that. And Europe wants that buffer zone. The U.S. won the Cold War by outspending the USSR. They can do the same now. At the same time, everywhere the U.S. retreats from, whether its military aid, humanitarian aid, trade deals,... China will step in to fill the void. Trump on Mt. Rushmore? More like Mt. Flushmore".
