Don’t worry guys, Carney’s got a plan. 🤣

 

I'm one of those Canadian's.... and your point is, what...   What does this have to do with Carney?

Technology stocks have driven the market and Canada outside of Celestica, Shopify and a few others is not tech heavy. The US is.  The TSX is made up mostly of financials, energy and materials while the US has far more stock options in those sectors and others.

That said, the TSX is up 20% YTD, the S&P 14%.  No kudos for Carney in what you're trying to say?

Hurt me! Hurt me!

That's what he wants to say. Make me pay $20 lb for oranges, that'll show them!

we used to be.  The same liberals who let us crumble in that department are now supposedly the ones to save us. PFFfftt.

Even you know better than to believe Carney and the libs if what you're saying is true. Otherwise you'd invest in canada.

Canadian's have a lot invested in the US markets, but the TSX is at an all time high.  Does Carney get credit for that?

I am invested in Canadian companies as I'd guess most Canadian's who invest in one way or another are. You're invested in US companies and other countries in a roundabout way through CPP.  People chase the money and US tech stocks in particular are performing right now. When they don't people will move money elsewhere.

Stock markets are always at an all time high generally speaking. Aside from recessions they always grow in volume just as gdp does.  But if they're growing poorly compared to others then that's not a plus or something to be happy about 'getting credit' for.

No, we've never been tech heavy until more recent investment.  Yes, spell out what you're trying to say. It helps.

You don't get it.  This isn't about people down on Canadian companies which have performed well this year, it's about more company's available on the US markets than the TSX.  Who would have thought that.

I wouldn't say I'm increasing but hard to stay away from some of the opportunities. I haven't heard that for a while...  curious where he goes with it. If too much foreign tax US companies will lose that retail investment with the money going elsewhere.

Carney’s tariff move is ‘appropriate for the moment’: former Conservative minister

• Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday that Canada will remove its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods that are covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, effective Sept. 1. Former Conservative cabinet minister James Moore joins Power & Politics to weigh in.

 

Hard to understand the posturing....  Negotiating with a narcissist who is hell bent on authoritarianism and nationalism should be easy enough.

[LinkSoul60]

 

Trump just recently touts trade framework agreements then comes back this week with the now expected threats of higher tariffs and export restrictions if you don't further kiss his fat orange *ss.  

It's hard to see why Carney hasn't been able to make a deal yet....

 

Trump threatens more tariffs and export curbs on nations with digital taxes

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to “impose substantial additional Tariffs” and "impose export restrictions on selling tech and chips" to countries with digital taxes.

Many countries, particularly in Europe, have implemented DSTs targeting U.S. tech giants as DST levies tax on gross revenue rather than net profits, disproportionately burdening firms like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META). Trump views these taxes as discriminating against American tech, as they give a complete pass to Chinese tech firms.

Source: Truth Social

In June, Canada had rolled back its new digital services tax, after United States President Donald Trump called off trade talks in retaliation for the levy and threatened to impose additional tariffs on exports from Ottawa.

We absolutely have been.  I made a small fortune on it   Historically through the 90's and early 2000s canada was a major payer, with many exciting canadian companies. Blackberry (RIM) was a canadian company. Slack, hootsuite, shopify, etc etc all canadian companies.  We have a huge list of some of the most successful tech companies in the world, and other countries tech companies have come here in droves. 

So once again you demonstrate you have no idea. 

As far as investments go, i bet i know more than you do   To be honest you're still giving off that teenager vibe so i'm not really sold on the idea you've got much of anyhting in the way of experience with it 

And yeah -  a lot of people on the left choose to lie here to support their false narratives. Considering you have always run from every debate and just melt down to highschool name calling at the first sign of a fact, it's pretty easy to believe you're yet another.

What do you not understand about Tech industry heavy?  I can name a lot more Canadian based tech companies but to the point.... Canada has never been tech industry heavy.

• The term "heavy" implies a dominant or disproportionately large role. In Canada's economic history, it's more accurate to say the technology industry is increasingly significant and growing, rather than consistently being the historically dominant "heavy" sector. 
   
• While technology's impact is profound and growing, Canada's identity has also been shaped by its primary industries, creating a diverse but complex economic landscape. 

• For much of its history, Canada has been known for its strong natural resource sectors, such as mining, energy, forestry, and agriculture. Technology has been a tool within these sectors rather than the dominant force itself. 

   

  
  To save face revert to your typical deflects with the usual childish comments....   Now you're an investor and a savvy one at that....  You're just a joke little man, that's all you are.

Of course we have been, and the fact you can dump a lot more major tech companies names in canada is kinda proof. 

Or are you now planning to redefine 'heavy' in some way intended to make you look less stupid?

Canada has always had a major and strong tech industry, although it's withered in the last decade somewhat.

Son of a gun  i was right  

Canada dominated in several sectors for quite some time. And as far as 'disproportionately large' goes.  in the us the tech sector is worth about 10 percent of gdp, where in canada in prior years it was about 7.5 -8,  (i believe currently it's around 5 or 6. )

So sorry, 8 vs 10 isn't much of  a diference.

What the hell has that got to do with anything?

You're making a claim that people (or specifically you) are investing in the us because it's got a lot of tech companies, i pointed out that until the last 10 years or so we did too.   And i'm right. The fact that historically we've sold resources has nothing to do with that. 

 

So, you couldn't make an argument so you're trying to 'disract'? Pretty sad.

Listen to yourself, Link.

Any statement made by a leftist politician or one of their MSM outlets instantly becomes your hill to die on, forever, regardless of whatever contradictory evidence you're exposed to. 

Eg, inside your mind the vaxes are still "safe and effective: if you get them you don't have to worry about covid and you don't have to worry about giving covid to granny", and if your own brother died of covid right in front of you, after taking the jab, you'd blame the unvaxed and still consider the jabs to be perfect.

It depends on what tariffs you're talking about, and whether you're talking to liberals or conservatives.

If Cdn liberals are talking about tariffs that Canadian liberals put on American goods, then the tariffs are heroic and they save the Canadian economy while prices here are completely unaffected. Even imaginary tariffs that a liberal candidate lies about are heroic. 

If Cdn liberals are talking about tariffs that American conservatives put on Canadian goods then all they do is increase the price of goods in the US, and the American economy isn't protected by them.

That's the thing with progressive is their standards are so ultra-progressive that they are constantly shifting by as much as 180° overnight.

What's saving the planet one day, and is therefor sacrosanct and cannot be questioned by conservatives, like a carbon tax for example, can suddenly become bad when a LPOC candidate says so, and removing it can be heroic. 

If you're super-progressive, then you can consider months and months of protests with murder and looting and arson to be mostly peaceful and 100% good, but then a 3-hr riot on a different day can be compared to Pearl Harbour and 9/11, or a protest with bouncy castles and not a single broken window or punch thrown can be considered violent.

Canada to drop counter-tariffs on some US goods one day after call with Trump | Canada | The Guardian

And once again Carney drops tariffs as soon as trump tells him to and gets nothng in return.  One phone call and Carney can't scramble fast enough to do what he's told 

Canada to drop counter-tariffs on some US goods one day after call with Trump | Canada | The Guardian

Trump turned around and said in a news conference that nobody can stop him and he likes carney a lot so he's hopeful he'll do what he's told. 

Carney is selling us out. 

 

Of course Trump is going to say crap like that,, there’s not an honest bone in his body. Even when he loses, he not only claims he won but that that he had the greatest victory in history. 
 

2 be clear TACO Trump backed off his tariff threats MULTIPLE TIMES. That includes when he made the same concession that Carney just did almost 6 months ago. As you’ll recall, when Trump first announced the bogus Fentanyl tariffs against Canada they were originally across the board against our entire economy. Then he walked it back and said it would only be on goods that didn’t comply with USMCA.  He’s been whining ever since that we didn’t exempt USMCA-compliant products like they did. So if your standard is that having USMCA exemption is caving in, Trump caved in months ago. 
 

Of course the worst part about dealing with dishonourable scumbags like Trump and his cult is that they will cease upon any arrangement or courtesy or good faith gesture that is the normal part of bargaining to gloat and jeer and claim they forced you to submit. While we adults have to take the high road and not get dragged into the childish name calling. 
 

As Carney has conveyed from the beginning the real game is pivoting away from USA. There’s no real deal to be made with an incompetent, corrupt and dishonourable president whose words are worthless and who doesn’t respond to reason or facts or respond rationally.  Carney is just buying time and making whatever futile gestures he can in the meantime. 
 

Canada is still the least tariffed country in the world because of the USMCA exemption

Wrong. Carney never said he was dropping them because they’re bad. He said he’s dropping them because they’re matching a concession Trump ALREADY MADE MONTHS AGO and because they’re moving into CUSMA renewal negotiations and being the only one tariffing CUSMA compliant trade would be problematic 

 

He did say that the Trumps bogus Fentanyl tariffs have minimal impact on Canada that’s true. But the steel, auto and aluminum tariffs are the ones having an impact and that’s where their negotiations are focusing.
