Trading Partners

[sumdumguy]

We had it all. We lived next to our largest trading partner, a giant in the world, who would protect us to the end, but here we are. Instead of appreciating our enviable position, we laugh in their faces, instead of meaningful negotiations we give them elbows up. 90 percent if our steel and lumber go directly south to the states. 50 percent tariffs on those exports and other finished products will cause massive lay-offs and a domino effect right across this country. All this is happening while our country is being attacked from within by our very own prime minister. We’s in big trouble boys. Where’s the silver lining?

The election was run on insulting Trump and the US , i'm actually surprised Canada has not been treated far worse
are Canadians that dumb that they think they can say every kind of nasty sh*t and get a good deal after ?

NORTH AMERICA is a victim of Trump's personality and policy....
Canada is a victim of Trudeau's personality and policy...
You can't negotiate with a egotistical, narcissistic bully either.
The VERY STABLE GENIUS changes his mind as often as wind direction changes....which way will the CO CK on the weather vane be pointing at any given moment?

Oh yeah, and how many wars has the guy with the Christ-like Savior complex of himself stopped? ....while he wages economic warfare on whomever he chooses?

Canadians are their own worst enemy. Some constantly need to call our American neighbours names, yet we have no problem hopping a flight to any one of their warm spots and are welcomed with open arms. The bed we make to lye in! I am surprised they haven’t totally slammed the border shut. They don’t need us - like Trump said.

[farmaholic]

Just like every Canadian wasn't like Trudeau, not every American is like Trump.
This isn't an all or nothing issue. Were all Russians Stalinists, were all Germans Nazis?
I AM NOT ANTI-AMERICAN!

[cropgrower]

well the elbow up haters boycott of US products effects a lot of American's that are not like Trump

[farmaholic]

In some people's minds I suppose my stance makes me a Liberal/Democrat.
There is always collateral damage in warfare, remember who started it.

[TSIPP]

I don’t have a clue who started it but I’m pretty sure I know who will win it.

[cropgrower]

so you agree farma on what Canadians have said about Americans , and call for boycotts etc because you don't like their Leader ?

Trump is the problem. He doesn't believe in free markets or fair trade after decades of Republican support for international trade.

He signed the previous CUSMA and said it was the best deal ever!

And he is the one imposing excessive tariffs around the world and using them as a club for his right wing authoritarian political agenda.

We have an integrated auto industry. It takes years to attract investment and change production and trade. He wants it done a in a few months.

He is breaking the US constitution and governing like a mobster boss with intimidation and threats.

When the jobs report showed his policies aren't working he fires the messenger! LOL

He is so worried about midterms now he is actively supporting excessive gerrymandering in Republican states.

The undemocratic shit show he is creating will fail.
