That nut-job Trudeau has destroyed the country. 

 

Incorporate it into the USA and watch it prosper.

 

It should not be a state, it should be a union....like EU.

 

Do you really want Quebec be a part of USA? Think before you post Bob.

I get it , this is political soapbox, so the entire history of Americas misdeeds is all because of the last presidential term you don't agree with.

If the USA wanted to invade would it be a five days operation like Putin presumed in Ukraine or could or would Canada actually defend itself.

I find it hard to believe that the the U.S. military generals, all the way down to the troops on the ground, would have the will to invade Canada. Its one thing to send an army to a middle eastern country, but Canada ?

Yes, Canadians can have the benefit of Obamacare, high pharmaceutical costs, America's IRS. Plus a new generation of carpetbaggers heading north.

 

Do you have any idea how stupid your post is?

[gargamon]

How many times do I have to tell you people. These tarrifs are simply a way to show income so the billionaire tax cuts can be made permanent. Don't make me repeat it again.

Canada should strike a deal with the EU on joint development of Greenland. It would be the ideal partner for Greenland.

Because the enuits have done really well in Canada? Maybe offer them a bit more prosperous future in Greenland? 

 

Just joking, but seriously, Greenland have to come back to Norway, we will take good care of them.

You're totally wrong.

He does seriously want to gobble up Canada.

He's a PSYCHOPATH! He has delusions of being seen as the greatest president for so increasing the USA's territory.

The feeling from Canada is not mutual.

He is now seen internationally in the same light as Putin.

Sucks to be a loser doesnt it? Your screeching about Trump and Putin sounds increasingly more hysterical and deranged

It's not really insane. Canada is trying to manipulate the situation to elect another radical left globalist rather than just calling for immediate elections that would see the Liberals driven from power.

 

You don't accept that we are in a very real war, but it is true. This isn't about Trump or MAGA. This is about driving the globalist criminal syndicate and their puppet regimes from power globally. They are an actual enemy to the United States of America. We can't afford to allow an enemy to control territory and attack us from our northern border. (Through drugs, terrorism and human trafficking.) And make no mistake, Trudeau (and his Liberal party) and the globalist cabal he works for are the enemy. America is a great friend of the Canadian people. But their government has sided with the sworn enemy of America. The Liberal government in Canada has to go. The Canadians need to pick a side and understand the seriousness of the situation. This is a global battle. Choose wisely.

Gosh.  Just a few months ago, Obamacare was the best thing to ever happen to Americans, according to the lefties.  Because it wasn't Trump's idea...

Why not just take it at face value?  Why should the USA be supporting Canada?

Is the US supporting Canada? Is there a continuous flow of illegals and drugs from Canada to the US?

Does the US need nothing from Canada?

[Walker88]

Gee, who could possibly have seen this disaster coming?

 

LOL.

 

The mouse that roared. Speak loudly, but carry a small (nickname for Richard). That's 47.

 

First the clown tried an impersonation of an 18th Century Imperialist. All that did was get Denmark to set up its missile batteries and NATO to consider how Article 5 applies. Oh, and it juiced BRICS membership.

 

Now, the willfully ignorant bozo, who likely never heard of Misters Smoot and Hawley, has resurrected their bad idea from the pages of history and might set us up for another 1930's Depression.

 

I knew the moron would be a disaster, but I thought it would take longer to come to pass.

 

So far, in the evening session, the markets are not liking this, nor (as noted earlier) is the business-oriented and Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal.

 

S&P futures are down 124, the Dow 678, and NASDAQ 571.

 

I thought the market would be down 20% in 2025. I was a friggin optimist. I think this guy can do 50%, because the idiocy will keep on coming. Then, a Recession by the 4th Quarter, and >10% unemployment by mid 2026, just in time for the midterms.

IIRC Trump had no ideas, 4 years produced zilch by way of a new health system.

Given the choice between a turd of a program that drove up costs and reduced quality for all the people who actually work (and pay our own way) and zilch, sometimes "do nothing" is the better choice.  That was certainly the case with Obamacare.

I understand all of the above, but don't understand this 

 

If America declared a trade war with everyone, how does that benefit them? They should have punished either Canada or mexico, not both at the same time  

 

they can't build factories overnight.

 

can't wait for Yanks to complain about the price of eggs and healthcare 

Not just that, if Canada and Mexico got some backbone they would cut off the oil they ship to the US. The US can't refine its own shale oil and gets a large part of its import (70+%) from those two countries. Also, Canada supplies a large part of northern US electric power. And with 25% tariffs, Mexico might find it worth expanding its world market for its produce.

I forgot, The US gets almost 100% of its natural gas import from Canada

Seriously where do you guys get those nuggets of wisdom?  CNN or MSDNC? 

 

The US is a net exporter of oil and of natural gas.  We produce more than we consume.  Take Canadian and Mexican oil and gas off the table, and the big suffering would accrue to the Mexicans and the Canadians who would have to build $$ billions in infrastructure (and in Canada's case, decades of permitting) to send their petroleum products to other markets.

Thanks Donald. Expect a lot of this in the future.

So, using your logic, the USA doesn't need Canadian oil (despite the FACT that it comprises at least 25% of the total US supply) , energy (as many as eight US states depend on Canadian energy to keep the lights on), potash (necessary to fertilize crops, and Canada has the biggest supply), uranium (for those nukes you folks love so much) and other precious metals to thrive.

 

Perhaps you should learn a bit more about how much the USA depends on Canada before you display your obvious ignorance. Oh, and if you think it would be easy to retool to be able to process heavy crude, think again. That would take years, and the midterms would have already happened, with Trump losing power rapidly. Have a nice day, eh.

"You see, the U.S. does produce enough oil to meet its own needs, but it is the wrong type of oil."

"So, we are left in a place where the U.S., despite producing more crude than it needs, is dependent on imports."

 

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/america-produces-enough-oil-to-meet-its-needs-so-why-do-we-import-crude

"The United States became a total petroleum net exporter in 2020

In 2020, the United States became a net exporter of petroleum for the first time since at least 1949.1 In 2022, total petroleum exports were about 9.52 million barrels per day (b/d) and total petroleum imports were about 8.33 million b/d, making the United States an annual net total petroleum exporter for the third year in a row."

And, more than half of US oil imports come from Canada. US crude extractions costs are highest in the world, and US domestic sweet light crude is incompatible with current refinery technology. They need imports for their refineries and source more than half from Canada. Any interruptions in Canada sourced heavy crude could initiate huge price spikes in fuel costs at the pump. Despite producing more oil domestically US imports of Canadian petroleum have increased steadily since the early 80's. US reliance on it cannot be understated.
