I can't blame Trump for doing what he's doing whatsoever. He will not deal with woke liberals who are destroying our country. Trump will not negotiate with dictators which is what the Liberals have become. We will soon have a prime minister not one Canadian has voted for
During the video you both kept repeating over and over again that Justin Turdeau (spelling intentional) has resigned. He has NOT resigned and is not behaving like someone who has resigned - spending taxpayer money like it is going out of style for example, and still pretending to be a credible world leader. Doesn't he actually have to resign before Catastrophic Carney can take over?
Yes Trudeau will step down on the exact day that Carney if he wins gets put in. That's how that works. Which is why we're in such a horrible situation. Then we will be in a dictatorship as not one Canadian has voted for Carney in any election
Perfect point Hamish. The disruption. That does explain a lot. I am an older engineer and I cannot fathom why any young engineer would stay in Canada. This may provide the shock impetus for a massive brain drain that will take generations to recover from. Along with the loss of this intellectual resource, we should also consider that easy transfer of the knowledge industries will also occur.
This provides a strong economic argument for Trump’s policy. Brilliant.
I did work in Silicon Valley for a couple of years, but I chose to live in Canada and I would like to see the country to continue.
The fundamental idea of Canadian tariffs which seems to be popular is idiotic. The end result is more money in the government and less in the private sector which is exactly what is wrong with Canada at present.
Make America great again think about those words. We are a part of America we are North America. So when Trump says make America great again I think he's talking about both Canada and United states. Again Trump cannot work with dictators he also said no more dollars for dictators. Therefore he will not work with Trudeau or Carney.
Tariffs are misdirected. Trudeau met with Trump over 3 months ago and has done diddly to secure the border and combat drugs, as requested. But he can cozy up with little z and 'commit' to boots on the ground (if they can afford the boots) and $5B in seized Russian assets (which he doesn't have). Not a good plan to piss off two of the world's leaders with the biggest militaries.
Also, Trudeau loves imposing tariffs as it is a tax on imports, more $$$ for the govt and he can blame Trump for that. Trump was going to cancel the govt visas from Panama (as I recall), he should have done that here, none of the CDN politicians allowed in the US would have got their attention in a heart beat.
Canada and the US should not be considered as 'friends', they are allies, but like two businesses in competition should share a mutual (and friendly) respect, and can both benefit from the right deals being made. Trump has zero respect for this PM, and that has to change before we're out of the woods.
Lastly, Ukraine needs bricks and mortar to rebuild (no throwing bricks at the Russians alright) and we should support that, not a prolonged war. The deal with the US was ready to be signed when little z FA'd yet again. FO day is coming. Yurp said it would pick up the slack from the US pulling out it's support, but they want some loan guarantee and Ukraine is running low on collateral.
Trudeau is NOT Canadas prime minister he is a Dictator we do not have a government running this country. We have a communist sympathizer allowing China to take control of canada. We don’t have a military and we have an RCMP that bends over and allows Trudeau to shove a tampon up thief ass as they ignore the drugs the Chinese bring into this country that helps line Trudeaus pockets
Like the Biden hangover after the US election, Trudeau still acts like the individual ego that he is. My greatest fear is where he may show up next week? What other way are we going to have to deal with his crap.
Re:PP. yea he said retaliatory tariffs. But that interview also said start there then move to a win win negotiation. And yes - tariffs going to the people in terms of tax relief.
Today the news was a COVID type response to tariffs. More handouts? The people paying taxes can’t afford and don’t want more spending. Let’s get this country back to work. Build infrastructure and houses. Refocus our education - not just on STAR but trades and skills.
So we're fighting stupid with stupid. And Poilieve has just displayed his stupid. Zinghead is even more stupid as Trump is a major member of G7. And Candice polls are meaningless, why do you even talk about them?
Poilievre has a balancing act to perform his base that like Trump and his other half who do not like Trump and so far he is achieving that balancing act.
Well, that might be so. But fighting tariff with tariff will little effect on the US. But will effect us tremendously. I have always been a conservative, but seeing Poilievre state that he believes in putting on tariffs just pulls my opinion of him down a lot. Mr. Trump had a very good reason for the tariffs, but what do we do about cleaning up the mess Trudeau created is the only thing that Poilievre should have been talking.
I am not certain what you mean stupid with stupid. Hamish's point is that Trump's policy might actually be a financial windfall for the US. They could move substantial Canadian capability to the US at a very limited cost.
I did not buy into the theory that Trump was doing tariffs because he was ignorant or emotional or something else. Hamish provided a viable logical theory.
Stupid being the trudeau's mess or massive destruction of canada, that left us open to legitiment complaints from US. So along come Poilievre and agrees to be as stupid as Trudeau with fighting tariff with tariff. That is nothing but suicide for Canada. Hence fighting stupid with stupid.
I think I would not do tariffs on USA. It would be better to identify products we can replace internally and do so. Sure as the sun rises our business investment environment would improve and the USA products could be tariffed one by one as time goes on. Spend our time and money making products for Canadians and export to new markets.
Hamish was right on the money talking about electricity and potash, especially electricity. All you need to do is open a few circuit breakers and poof! the electricity disappears south of the border. Why not do it as quickly as the tariffs were started by Trump? After all, according to him he doesn't need our energy, lumber and a myriad of other things. Let's call his bluff.
If he turns off the electricity it can be considered an act of war. I don't think you want American soldiers coming into Ontario to turn the power back on. All of this ranting and raving is not going to fix things. It's immature and stupid. It's time to negotiate like adults
Thanks Anthony. Just add a biased media to the mix, and we have a problem. It is a lose-lose situation. And if Carney has any say, it will get much worse.
I don't know what you would like to do then. If we like the money so much we could lower the price. And are you suggesting we should not retaliate in any way whatsoever? We are in a lose-lose situation, thanks to our "wonderful" prime minister. We lose big and Trump loses little.
I don't agree really, unless you can come up with a "maximized" alternative that is painless and effective. Can you give me an idea? If this is war, do we fly paper airplanes and wear mitts when the opponent who is 10 times our size wears boxing gloves?
Barry I think what we need to do is shut Canada down and hit the streets and stop tolerating what this governmrnt has been foing yo us in the last 9 years and is planning with Masc Carney for a few more years . What does that say about our society and culture if we let the liberal party pick our next PM without a vote from the citizens
Thats right . he doesn't NEED anything from here , we need lots from there .... When I was a kid everything you bought was made in Canada .... Then commie dad Trudeau introduced a manufacturing tax of 15℅ . then coupled with us paying all the postage from any "developing nation" like China , he was able to completely destroy industry in Canada . Now nothing is a made here
I can't blame Trump for doing what he's doing whatsoever. He will not deal with woke liberals who are destroying our country. Trump will not negotiate with dictators which is what the Liberals have become. We will soon have a prime minister not one Canadian has voted for
And that scares the crap outta me.
👍 This so infuriates me! How is this even possible???
Pierre Poilievre needs to reconsider supporting the selected tyrant leader of Ukraine. Why isn't Canada supporting Trump's
desire to stop the killing in Ukraine and have peace.
I hope we can get an honest poll showing that Canadians do not support more war in Ukraine.
I don’t need a Liberal telling me that i need in my life.

He wont be winning anything he will be APPOINTED carbon tax carney has NEVER been elected to any office in the federal government…

Canadian tariffs are a tax on Canadians.

Monty Python!!!
We are so in trouble! No one, least of all Trump, needs a lecture from this China lover!

I like the new forum and news channel. Thanks.

Never underestimate your opponent.

i agree never liked polls and history shows they are not even accurate just a fear mongering fake news puppet journalist tool!!!
Anyone that is not ready to leave work and hit the streets the second Marc Carney is declared our PM should stop talking or whining
We have one of two choices either we allow china to continue to take control of canada or we become a part of the USA
I think I would not do tariffs on USA. It would be better to identify products we can replace internally and do so.

Actually I do want that ... What else can we hope for ? Our government is completely corrupt all the way down to the city halls
Thanks Anthony. Just add a biased media to the mix, and we have a problem. It is a lose-lose situation. And if Carney has any say, it will get much worse.
I think we like his money paying for the electricity.
I don't know what you would like to do then. If we like the money so much we could lower the price. And are you suggesting we should not retaliate in any way whatsoever? We are in a lose-lose situation, thanks to our "wonderful" prime minister. We lose big and Trump loses little.
Stay calm. Conserve resources, plan. prepare, then execute. As usual, Trudeau is doing this in the opposite direction.
If Hamish is right that the target is disruption, then turning off power will only anger Americans and impoverish Canadians.
We have to stop thinking about revenge and start thinking about how we are going to respond in fashions that minimize pain and maximize alternatives.
How about taking control of our port (here in Vancouver)
I don't agree really, unless you can come up with a "maximized" alternative that is painless and effective. Can you give me an idea? If this is war, do we fly paper airplanes and wear mitts when the opponent who is 10 times our size wears boxing gloves?
