Lets give this some perspective. Harpers had 3 major pipelines on tap approved and ready to go. Trudeau killed Northern Gateway with legislation, killed energy east by pandering and killed TMX by obstructionism. What happens in the US with XL is out of our hands but mostly Obamas fault for stalling the original project for what like 8 years.
Here is how you deal with protestors. You evoke the notwithstanding clause an bring out the army and bulldozers like trump did. Or you cut off entitlements to people who block wealth creation for the country. To deal with foreign tarrifs and bullies, you enact legislation to hit right back at them. You ban Saudi crude, you halt Indian visas and work permits and you restrict capital from China.
And to get help with all this, you stop being a dick to our greatest trading partner no matter who is in office. Think trump is going to help us now after the stupidity Freeland and her gang did. Not a chance, we are on our own.
Canada is an extremely weak, spineless country with our loyalties in the wrong places.

Absolutely. Some money is being mobilized to help sheer hopefully end the insanity, but a lot of big bucks are on tap to move out of the country. That dollar spread ever narrows again and boy watch out.
We as farmers will be trapped with our wealth in a socialist hell hole.

I maybe wrong but in about 6 months the exports might not look as rosy....
Yes, if we had more pipe in the ground the cut would not have been necessary. So is the lack of pipe Trudeau's fault? Couple of things to consider. Transmountain first sought expansion in 2012. In 2015 the NEB stopped the process because of shoddy work by the government at the time and Transmountain in their analysis. In 2016, NEB approval was granted, Notley gave approval, and Trudeau gave federal approval for both the Transmountain expansion and Line 3.
It was the new BC government in 2017 that put a stop to the expansion, along with enviornmentalists and natives. They are the true villains in this story. Trudeau, in order to try to get it back on stream even bought the existing line and expansion project.
Should he have done more? Faster? What? Maybe, but remember Keystone XL was started in 2010, 2 years earlier and is still stalled. Trump overturned all rulings and ordered it to proceed but in just 2 months ago (nov 2018) a Montana judge ordered it stopped so it is back in the courts, just like Transmountain is. And I have a hunch that Transmountain will get going before XL does.
2. First and foremost, I disagree with the giving of the Saudis the remains of the CWB. That was not Trudeau by any means. Second, it was a cabinet minister who made the statement that Saudi's stopped buying wheat, not Trudeau. We can debate whether he should retaliate by stopping oil or sales of arms but that is after the fact, not the cause.
3. Agreed fully he looked like an idiot in India. But even the brightest light likely would not have changed Indian domestic policy on pulse imports considering Indian farmers make up 40% or more of electorate and they demanded higher prices for their pulses which resulted in world wide tariffs. Furthermore, the tariffs are permitted under current WTO and in fact the lentil tariff was only raised to 40% and is allowed to go to 100%. If it was Trudeaus fault and India was out to stop Canadian pulses, they would have raised the tariff much more or simply stopped buying Canadian as the Saudi's did.
4. Canada is being used as the sacrificial pawn by both US and China in the current trade wars. I am not sure if Trudeau is not smart enough to realize this or if Canada is simply too small of a fish to matter to either party. It is a no win situation. When stuck in the middle of a pissing match between two giant bullies, and each important to us, no matter what you do you to support one side, the other side will take offense.
Yes maybe exports will go down in 6 months, or we might have a world wide drought, grain prices skyrocket, and let the good times roll.
Bucket, I consider you a smart guy and appreciate what you say most times. But Instead of the sky is falling Trudeau bs how about stating real facts, look at trends, hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Hopefully we get a better PM than Trudeau this year, but Canada will survive if we don't. We just have to make sure each of our farms do too.Last edited by dmlfarmer; Jan 24, 2019, 09:25.

Little Johnnie at the front of the class raises hand, waving it excitedly, "I know! I know!"
Teacher says, "Yes, Johnnie?"
Johnnie shouts out, "It's Harper's fault!"
Teacher smiles and gives little Johnnie an "A".

Nor has he stopped oil production Canada oil production over time
[ATTACH]3889[/ATTACH]
And you have to go back to 1991 for a year with higher wheat exports than last year. Trudeau does not set world price and farmers in Canada are continuing to grow and export at ever higher levels in spite of prices.
Sorry can not post chart for wheat, but this link shows it https://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?country=ca&commodity=wheat&graph=exports https://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?country=ca&commodity=wheat&graph=exports
As far as pulses go, India increased pulse tariffs before Trudeaus debacle trip. Second, the tariffs India set apply to all countries and not just Canada. Third, the tariffs were not set to punish global producer of pulses but to increase domestic prices in India. So to blame Trudeau for India domestic policy is wrong.
I am not a fan of Trudeau and do not think he is a good prime minister, but I am an even bigger critic of alternative facts and propaganda. So unless you can back up your claims with some facts I call BS.
OK you may be right BUT...

Look over there ... they are bad ...
just look at the Media over the weekend in the US .... it absolutely exemplified that thought process... or lack there of after the high school student bashing in Washington... absolutely no different thank the fake scarf cutting out east that made National headlines in 20 min .. lol .. it’s getting to be an absolute fun circus to watch the far left paint themselves not into a corner... but a dungeon now .
Again , not defending Trump , just stating the obvious. The media and far left are completely exposed now as having mental issues lol .

[QUOTE=LEP;400760]Originally posted by chuckChuck View PostHahahahah. IN the USA
The federal deficit soared last year to $779 billion and is projected to approach $1 trillion in 2019.
Interest on U.S. debt is projected to total $7 trillion over the next decade
Sorry Chuck but math isn't your strong point. $7 trillion interest on $1 Trillion debt over ten years is probably 10x ++ too high. You counting with 6 toes or something?
