Tough choice.

PP did start a company which he closed quickly. A phone bot fraud company that helped the conservator...

Other than that he was a paperboy.

no its an easy choice
Pierre does not have the extensive experience as a failure,
Justin has 9 years of multi discipline failure experience on full display and his approach to failure has been go big or go home.

its time Justin went home

What are you talking about? China has the ability to kick every single American business off their soil.

How do you think Corps like Apple and McDonald's will feel if China says "Go home"?
China is also tanking on their economy...they need the US...What the fuck do you think will happen to China if those companies actually pull out?

What will the #1 manufacturing country in the world do if American companies pull out get banned from operating in China?

You're really asking this? :ROFLMAO:

JL must be American, Justin's leadership has been exemplary. LaRue must suffer from some type of blockage.

Sorry I don't do dumb. But try again. Let me ask you this simple question: what qualifications did our buddy have to run a country starting in 2016? Did his work as a high school drama teacher or ski instructor prepare him for the job? The plain truth is he was in way over his head. The people that he put around him were in over their heads. JT's a left wing idealogue who doesn't like the United States and its free enterprise system. Its not shocking that our relationship with our largest trading partner and friend has soured over the years. Not totally his fault mind you because for the previous 4 years the guy in charge of leading that nation had the mental acuity of a grape.
So why does Canada have this huge trade surplus with the US if Justin is so stupid?

Sounds like Justin did a great job!! 🇨🇦

That undergrad degree in International Relations is pretty fucking impressive, I must say!! 🥴

Otherwise, a long time party loyalist and Harper dick sucker.

A 1 month pause? I think you have it confused who caved. :ROFLMAO:
She moves an infantry battalion from its base to barracks on the border.

Trump says "I won!"

The tariffs go away. The Mexican soldiers move back to their usual base in 5 weeks' time. Sounds like a win: win.

There hasn't been one of those since 1942.

Now, most military action since then that lasted any length of time did still have congressional authorization, even if no declaration of war.

Something like invading all of Canada would require something along those lines and general public support to pull off.
It's not throwing some troops at brown people somewhere.
The wavy line is doing a "Grenada" on Panama. And for the 2nd time, since they Grenada-ed Noriega on a vague pretext. OTOH, Noriega was daring to stand up to the US in negotiations and that's not wise at all.

The Canal is pretty valuable real estate.

More qualified than a guy who has been the Prime Minister for 10 years?
I don't think so.

Canada does not outright ban American banks from operating in the country, but it has strict regulations that make it difficult for foreign banks to establish a significant retail presence. Here’s why:

1. Strict Banking Regulations


• Canada has conservative banking laws that prioritize stability.


• The Bank Act imposes heavy regulations on foreign banks, making it difficult for them to operate full-service retail branches.


• Foreign banks must set up a subsidiary (not just a branch) to take retail deposits, which requires separate capital reserves and compliance with Canadian regulations.

2. Protection of the Canadian Banking System


• The Canadian government prefers to maintain control over the banking sector to prevent foreign economic influence.


• During the 2008 financial crisis, Canada’s banks remained stable partly due to these protections.


3. Limited Market Size

• Canada’s population is small compared to the U.S., making it less attractive for major U.S. banks to invest heavily in full retail operations.

• The Canadian banking sector is dominated by the Big Five banks (RBC, TD, Scotiabank, BMO, CIBC), which already provide strong competition.

4. U.S. Banks Can Still Operate in Canada—With Limits
Some American banks, like Citibank and JPMorgan Chase, operate in Canada, but mostly for corporate and investment banking, not retail banking.
• U.S. banks that do business in Canada must follow Canadian banking laws and cannot easily set up widespread retail branches.
Bottom Line
Canada’s banking regulations don’t outright ban American banks, but they create barriers to entry that make it more difficult for them to operate retail banking services. This helps maintain financial stability and protects domestic banks.

From 2019. It's a deal they've already agreed to in the past.

He said nothing would stop the tariffs and the trade deficit was too generous and one-sided. What happened?

I'll tell you, reality happened. It's not a win-win. Trump folded.

Politicians only require enough votes to get elected which is the only qualification that matters. It is not as if they require a licence.
If someone doesn’t like a an elected politician then they go into derision about their past occupations instead of the “here and now”
