Canadian Voters Head to the Polls Amid Rising Tensions with the US

[jas007]

Am I right in assuming that without subsidies from the USA, Canada will collapse?   Isn't

the economy there already in shambles?  

 

I wonder how long it will take?

The Liberals win again according to the latest reports. Carney is a solid leader and not likely to make many unforced errors.

Not quite that simple. A lot of Canada's economic woes are self inflicted.  There has been too much immigration, too much navel gazing about Native peoples' issues,  too much over regulation, and not enough hard work.

Fair enough, but it doesn't look they're now headed in a different direction with this election. So, when do they turn things around?

A lot of people around the world understand Trump's plan and how his rhetoric is just that. Rhetoric.

A signed executive order is NOT rhetoric!

 

PS; I don't believe that even Trump knows what his so called plan is!

It really touched a nerve, but as time went on the fear was abating. The Conservatives were rising in the polls, but at the same time support for the far-left NDP was cratering. Looks like the NDP share of the vote is down by something like 70% over the last election. 

 

Smart people know that Trump was just BSing. But in all honesty I wanted him to shut up. It was borderline funny the first time as a way to dig at Trudeau. But like your old uncle who tells the same jokes at every family gathering, it just got irritating. 

The tariffs are BS??

Yes. A negotiating tactic, nothing more. As is evidenced by how often and deeply they get cut.  But that is for another discussion.  Now that Canada has a government , it remains to be seen how negotiations go.  I wish PM Carney and his team the best.  There are a few Liberals that have some smarts- thank God they got rid of Freeland at least.

What legitimately serious gripes does Trump have against Canada?
