Neither are as significant as Trump's plans for fiscal policy (spending) in the U.S. and corporate tax cuts. Wall Street and oil prices diverged even before Trump was elected. OPEC ain't what it used to be. Economics trumps Virtue.

Wall Street and oil prices diverged even before Trump was elected. OPEC ain't what it used to be. Corp. tax cuts and huge spending. Isn't your debt big enough for you yet? And before you try to dismiss OPEC look what their announcement did to the price of oil.

And before you try to dismiss OPEC look what their announcement did to the price of oil. All OPEC has done is to turn U.S. shale production back on high. OPEC no longer has the leverage (only about 30% of world production). I've been objecting to the debt growth since 1992, but more Americans want their guns AND butter.

It matters more to Canada than me....Canada's economy is very dependent on the U.S. That's why Justin Trudeau said the U.S. is so important....matters so much to Canada.

He's your leader and so far he's kind of made the country a bit of a laughing stock. Perhaps he will be guided to come around before he has to entertain or be entertained by world leaders. I can imagine a lot of them, besides Putin, are not looking forward to the day they have to come face to face with "the hair"

He's a dictator he doesn't need to be competent. And he likes to take selfies flexing his muscles with his shirt off, but nobody seems to want to get in the frame with him. According to trump's plan, you will see the deficit's getting much, much yuuuuger. That's OK, I'm sure you won't mind opening your wallet to further enrichen the one percent.

Putin is much more important than Canada's lightweight Justin Trudeau and his family's love affair with a dead Cuban dictator. The U.S. will always have deficits..Trump or no Trump. The U.S. has a much higher credit limit than Canada. Economics trumps Virtue.

Omni Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 And this is getting off topic but I hasten to add, don't get in any great hurry to tear down the barriers against tourism to Cuba. I think most of uc Canucks who have holidayed there prefer things the way they are. You know, that "American tourist" concept that many of us understand.

No problem....more Canadian snowbirds will still be going to the U.S. each year because they have issues with Canadian weather. Trump will want those snowbirds and visa overstay illegals to leave on time, or get a free trip to Cuba ('Gitmo). Edited December 6, 2016 by bush_cheney2004 Economics trumps Virtue.
