Isolationism won't overcome globalization. Bring it on....Trudeau better hope that Trump doesn't hurt him too bad. Trudeau better bring his boxing gloves and cut man for NAFTA. It's called "GM Canada" for a reason. Our GM is just called, "GM". Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Yes it can be quite scary. Especially some of the things I have heard of late, I don't have sites at my fingertips just now, but the pizzeria shooting we've heard of is one example. One could always also go back to conspiracy theories that surfaced after 9-11. Quote

I would say you need to be thinking about how Trump is already hurting y'all. But let's see how his upcoming meetings turn out. Maybe when he gets behind closed doors he will reign in the nonsensical rhetoric. Edited January 23, 2017 by Omni Quote

President Trump has only helped our retirement portfolio so far....I hope he keeps hurting us like that. Where's all that tough talk now , Canada ?

We're pretty immune to real damage. Our Alberta friends are the ones suffering. 20% rollbacks on wages etc...not fun to the heavily mortgaged. Now PM Potato wants to rid Alberta of oil production...that'll fly...just as long as he doesn't plan any visits. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

We don't hate Americans, but maybe just ease off a bit on the enquirers to the Immigration Canada website so it doesn't keep crashing. Quote

More Canadians are still going to the U.S. for better opportunities every day because Canada can't keep up, and Team Trudeau is only going to make things worse. President Trump wants a report on his desk Monday morning about all the Canadian illegal overstays in the USA ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Right wingers do not have the same need for constant emotional reassurance. So why lie about the crowd? Quote

Yeah, so why does Trump keep babbling about it, especially whilst addressing the CIA for god's sake? Why won't he just admit it was poorly attended and get onto real issues? Quote

Doesn't seem like a big deal. Sounds like a matter of opinion and will need a judge to decide. Trump might have to shuffle a few people around if legally required to do so. Or more likely the case would be dropped. Again... distraction. It will be more interesting to see what policies are put in place, executive orders being signed. Looks like NAFTA is going to be one of the first. Quote

The "emoluments" clause is part of the constitution and it is quite clear. I am not surprised this case has arisen so soon. Trump laid the groundwork to allow himself to be in contravention the moment he took the oath. So yes, it could very well be a big deal. Quote

No Canada won't....doesn't have the balls to do so. All talk...no action. President Trump can learn a lot of tricks from Dick Cheney, from waterboarding to making money from Canadian oil services companies. Dick Cheney can buy/sell Canada anytime he wants....Trump will find that useful. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
