The banks are here already. You've been told that already in this thread. Go google it ffs!

And there was nothing about American telecom companies in the talks.
They aren't allowed deposits under 150,000$ making it impossible to compete. American telecom has tried for years to come to Canada to combat the high prices but have always been blocked. Everyone knows that. I'll await your liberal name calling rebuttal lol.

Wait until Trump go after Canada has tightly controlled supplies of dairy, eggs and poultry since the 1970s, restricting how much farmers can produce and limiting imports through onerous tariffs. Trump will want acesss to that market especially the Quebec dairy market! I hope Trump get it ! This will straw that the lefties can’t spin as a win if Trump get access to Quebec diary market. ! Trudeau or any Canadian / Liberal government want the Quebec federal seat to stay in power they must protect the cherished Quebec dairy market! Trump did mention the banks and in passing and mentioned the diary market too. It supposed to be free trade!
They didn't get it last time. And they won't this time. Especially now with looser inspections and all the other deregulation of food going on.

We won't compromise our food supply, nor our food supply chain. Covid taught a valuable lesson on food security.

And his own party will not let him tariff. If you think this was Trump winning you are quite naive. A 1 Congressional seat majority means 2 can kill his legislation. And they have voters and donors in numerous states who gave them an earful.

3 seats in the Senate. With 3 already hating him still? He is walking a tight wire and needs those votes later.

Why would we want to bank with drifters used to lax banking laws that will fuck around?

We have 5 major banks, several smaller ones, as well as Credit Unions. More than enough. The US banks can stick to facilitating international business deals.

This is absolutely true. That's why people who argue for free trade don't realize (or ignore) it's all managed trade. Mexico is far worse with the exceptions and government intrusion into American investment into Mexico.
I have no issue with managed trade where nations can have certain foreign investment limitations.

I don't want the USA controlling our farming, food supply(you can send things up that meet our standards in processed form), natural resources, things like Potash(we told China to fuck off as well on this). Absolutely not in banking and Telecommunications. That's a national security thing.

Cripes you guys are banning Tic Tok on that basis and you think we want another nation in on our actual infrastructure? Would you let another nation do that?

Plus trump is now negotiating with ukraine to get their rare earth minerals for continued support. Sleepy Joe just gave a blank cheque, as did princess trudeau. Zelensky said ok.
Zelensky didn't. The rare earth mines are in the Donbass and it's occupied by Russia.

If I were Trudeau, I would be talking to China and allowing China military ships on our arctic seas to see Trump shit his pants. Canadians are Communists-Liberals, after all.
That would be a last resort, I think Canada could form a group of nations that would go against Trump.

Delaying tariffs for 30 days is not folding, this has been his modus operandi throughout his life. Do not give them an answer, may them wait. Delay, delay, delay - make them pay. The longer he extends this matter the longer his political theater plays out, the more his MAGA men think he is doing something for the country.

There was time when US was really the biggest power in the world. They commanded respect but now they are a laughing stock

And the orange baboon’s minions are too stupid and confident to realise this. The extent of their geopolitical knowledge is limited till X links which they copy paste everywhere.

Fentanyl Czar?? You can’t make this shit up!

He was just joking. You've got to learn to know when he's serious and when he's not.
Mitch and Dave, thanks for your likes.

FYI, my post was totally sarcastic and I was mocking the tDSers, the ones with trump Devotee Syndrome. This is the type of answer they give when they have no rational answer to provide when he either lies or shows his ignorance (drink disinfectant for Covid, use a nuke to neutralize a hurricane).
