I agree we have shot ourselves in the foot by killing our ability to manufacture anything here. I watched a video earlier if I can find it I will put a link on here. It lays out the problem quite well. It also points to something that we as Christians should find of interest.

As you have said, time will tell.

Yes we have to wait and see. Economics 101 says that tariffs are just a hidden tax on your own people. He has collected billions in tariffs which will have to be covered by someone whether the importer or those that buy the importers products. Guess who the importer thinks should cover the cost?

I think tariffs are the height of dumb but our political class think it will garner them votes.

But not with much effect anymore. The US is not needed as much as the US thinks it is. Will we trade with the US, sure. Is the US the only game in town, NO it is not. The sooner the US comes to understand that the better it will be for the US.

We are brothers in Christ. It pains me to see so many people defend his tariffs as a good thing when they are the ones that will end up paying for them. Tariffs do not help anyone, that is why CUSMA was so good for all three countries. I can see why you defend Trum* but we see him as...

Elect someone else. Na Alberta is already great The money drain out of Alberta was not negotiated it was imposed by the federal gov. That is the difference Ben the US negotiates a deal then complains that they do not like the deal. Then you have Trum* just impose extra tariffs for some made...

Would you would feel better if I just said he is irrational, or that he has let his ego control his thinking. Either way what he is doing is foolish. Perhaps you should exhort your great leader to show more respect to other leaders.

Why would we want to pay the tariffs that you do? The US wants higher tariffs which is actually just a higher tax on your own people. When have I said retaliatory tariffs were a good thing? I think tariffs are really dumb. That is why under CUSMA most of the products that crossed the border...

His stick is not nearly as big as he or you seem to think it is.

You have doubts that other countries can survive without the US?

Ya know it is a wise decision and that is why Carney did it. Canada does not bend the knee to any country.

We do not have a president. We have a Prime Minister. By the way we are not backing away from the deal we have with China. We actually hold to agreements unlike some that we know of. But I do note that Trum* wants to make a trade deal with China. How is that going? Who did you say is the...

Odd that you would say that as he has been called out by France and England and Canada. They just use diplomatic language. Why do you think countries are forming trading blocks that exclude the US?

They only tremble because they know how irresponsible he is. Have you ever wondered why they call him TACO? I do wonder why those in the US think he is great when they see what he has done to the reputation of the US on the world stage.

Your logic is rather flawed. Are you saying that all those other countries forced the US to accept the prices for their goods? You do know how trade deals work I hope. The two countries agree on a set of rules re pricing so for the US to claim that they have been ripped of is rather rich...

Do you think that he is being rational? Pro_12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel. And he shows no self-control Pro_12:16 A fool's anger is known at once, But a prudent man conceals dishonor.

Actually from what I have seen on here I think most Americans will be in for a surprise when the bill comes due. I do agree it will be what it will be, it just will not be that comfortable for many of you.

You give him way to much credit. He has no moral compass as can be seen from his history. If you think hitting the US citizens with a massive tax is just him being funny is rather odd. You are the ones that will be paying the price through higher prices. I actually feel sorry for you. From...

You do realize that it the US that agrees with those trade policies. Remember it is Trum* that called CUSMA the greatest trade deal ever signed. And now he says the US has been taken advantage of. Is he now admitting that the US does not know how to negotiate a trade deal?
