Thai Baht Plummets with US Tariff Blow: 34.50 per Dollar Test Looms
The Cdn $ was around 27 to one around 1 1/2 years ago (according the WISE transfers I've made). It dropped over 3 baht to the dollar in 18 months and has barely gone up 1 baht in the last 3 months. And that was before all the tariff nonsense. But Thailand sets the exchange rates and pegs the baht to the US dollar so it often doesn't matter how strong our dollar is, it still gets less than the US. When the Conservatives formed the gov't back in '06, our dollar started to recover from the years of Liberal mismanagement. At one point when Chretien and Martin were running things, the dollar dropped to it's lowest ever vs the US $ (0.72 -1) and those two were happy about it ! When Harper took over and the $ started going up, the Liberals whined that it would ruin our economy and there'd be huge job losses. Never happened. In fact, in '08 our dollar was trading at par with the US and our economy was fine and there were not job losses, proving just how incompetent the Liberals were. (They'd been trying to depress the value to benefit their rich buddies who paid for labour and resources in Cdn $ and sold it for US$. The weaker the Cdn $, the greater their profits.) At one point the Cdn $ was worth $1.10 US ! (Didn't stay there long but it was a h3ll of a lot better than 0.72 !) But ! The US $ was getting almost 37 baht and the Cdn was only getting 32 ! I was a little miffed (as in - pissed off) because I was getting paid in Cdn - wired to my Thai account. We should have been getting more baht to the dollar than the US but because Thailand set the exchange rates (instead of the markets) they deliberately kept the US $ higher. And as long as the Liberals are running things - it will NOT get any better. Historically, every single time they form the gov't (since the end of WW2) our dollar has lost value and every time another gov't (like the Conservatives) take over, our dollar gains in value. Sheesh - I just looked - it's at .70 to the US now. Worse than under Chretien and Martin ! But at least companies like Bombardier, Irving Oil, SNC Lavalin, Canadian Steamship Lines and other Liberal sponsors will be happy. -

Thailand Eyes US Arms Deals to Slash Trade Surplus Amid Tariffs
Thailand must be careful with importing seeds from US. The US, Monsanto is trying to get all nations hooked on their GMO seeds, blackmailed Thailand into buying their corn seeds before (as well as Mexico). These seeds must be bought every year and they destroy domestic crops (by cross pollination). US made is not always great ... someone brought up US beef and Australia has much better beef thus they won't import US beef. -
