I had a look at your posting history. It seems that you are more anti-left than pro-Trump from your posting behaviour. -

Naah it's just that you are seizing any opportunity to support Trump in your posts and you eagerly diffuse MAGA propaganda. Apart from that, you are not a Trumper....😆 -
Trump's Successful Gambit to Remind Americans of His Incompetence

You forgot the link. Ashamed of citing the lefty Daily Beast? https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-personality-apologizes-after-blaming-trump-for-dc-disaster/ So how does this single guy represent "the left"? -
Tne issue is not so much that he promised to bring prices down without being specific about how he would do it. As you mention, that's what other politicians may also do. The ridiculous aspect of his promise is "immediately". 😆 Trump is often erratic and comes up with spontaneous inadequate statements This is not the case. "Immediately" was a campaign slogan repeated at several occasions, I.e. RNC, debate with Kamala etc...

ChatGPT agrees that more COVID vaccination --> more cases
candide replied to Red Phoenix's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Complete nonsense. Correlation is not causation. By the same false logic one could conclude that aspirin or paracetamol increase the number of cases of fever causing diseases. -

That can't be true! According to our MAGA posters, Greenlanders have been so impressed by Trump that they have widely adopted the MAGA cap, and are eagerly waiting to become American! 😆

For a good reason! “The EU and the UK are both very vulnerable to prevailing global events and a reset of relations is the single most effective way to make both sides stronger,”

The other issue is that oil companies are not keen to invest in new drilling, in particular with the current price decrease trend. They are not going to shoot themselves in the foot by investing to reduce prices and their profits. I guess that, as prices have started to decrease last year and will probably decrease in 2025. Trump will try to take credit for it and attribute it to the drill baby drill B.S., even in the absence of significant new drilling.

Why Democrats Hold the Advantage for 2028 and Beyond

I did not pay attention you were talking about Katrina. That was 10 years ago. -
It depends whether environmental concerns are factored in or not. The crucial question is now: is it in the interest of Canada to invest in order to increase its dependence on the U.S. market? Or would it be more appropriate to reduce its dependence by investing to increase its refining capacity, as well as its capacity to export oil by sea to other markets.

There are different options which may be combined: - increase discounts, but it's unlikely that it may fully compensate for high tariffs, - export to another country which will re-export to the U.S., - curtail production. - let the CD devaluate, which will decrease export prices in USD, and increase import prices. In any case, it will likely be less profitable/more costly for both Canada and the U.S. The more general lesson from expected Trump's policies for any country, is that it's risky to be too dependent on the U.S.
