Lets add it all up.
Did he get anything new that we didn't already agree to do in December? No he didn't.
Did he implement tariffs on that? No he didn't.
Trump folded.
Well, if I ever passed you by on the street, I would lift my leg and Pee Pee on you. I hope you will thank me for my gift since you do support Pee Pee.
He blinked, It's over. Anything other antics going forward, Canada and the rest of the world will be ready.
This was a severely stupid threat made. This isn't the 1950's anymore.
We should fucking cut their gas supply of just to show them we're not playing.
It's always weird when someone tries to tell you what you are saying even after you clarified it. I've been saying the Canadian telecoms grew organically, but there is no foreign competition. How can I say it so you won't quibble with the words? Rogers, Bell and Telus are protected from foreign competition.
I question your comprehension and your ability to have a straightforward conversation with members who don't share your views.
You can explain the lack of foreign investment in Canadian telecom and banking anyway you want. Perhaps, it's just a market overlooked by larger American, European and Japanese telecoms and banks. Rather I think there are regulatory impediments that close access to the market. I wasn't the first one to point it out on this thread.
Sometimes you just have to concede an obvious observation.
What are you talking about?
Even if this is over, 2026 starts the review process.
You sound like Tojo after Pearl Harbor.
You're right. That was rich. But as I demonstrated earlier, all of you tDSers share common traits so I feel like it's all one guy. But I don't mind because all of these posts have such little logic and/or facts, it's not a problem.I never called you woke, that was another one of your fans. You're confused again. You get confused easily. Once again I suspect dementia. And again you failed to provide any example of my spelling mistakes but instead made a spelling mistake of your own. I would expect higher intelligence from a doctor but then again you're as much of a doctor as Dr. Dre.
You all believe everything he says.
He is never wrong.
You think that he cares about people when all he cares about is himself.
You will defend any and all of his lies.
etc. etc. etc.
All one person.
Not a serious answer. Something political. So you still have no examples of disagreeing with what he says.Ok just to appease your pathetic little self, I don't believe Trump when he said he didn't get peed on by Russian hookers. Feel better? Now provide any example(you can't) of my spelling mistakes? Do that and you'll be my 'favourite' leftie loser
I don't want to be your favourite anything.
it would be great if you were right
but you are not
the threat is still there
and what you expect would happen next ?
How do you expect people to take your posts seriously? You dispute a spelling error by committing another one.
Pedantic.
You want to relive the same outcome all over again? Sure. Nothing changes.
You don't get it.
Dave, you should congratulate mandrill on being a top poster on TERB. He and his former friend comfortably hold down the top two spots for posted messages. He always takes time out of his day to welcome the new members.Congratulations on your 1-week anniversary of joining this board, Dave!!
You should be more respectful of your elders here.
Unlike you somebody showed some actual wittiness when they called me "shack of sit". That was a good one. Not juvenile.
Actually, it would be unfair to hold you to the same intellectual level, so I'll give you a pass.
EXPLOSIVE: Canada’s border is WIDE OPEN by PORTS & TRAIN
Regulatory impediments exist in every country for various reasons.
They exist in the US too and that includes foreign ownership of telecom.
The US is probably a little more flexible and easier to invest on a case by case basis than Canada is, but I dont think my previous comment that Canada isn't that drastically different than the US is inaccurate.
So your observation isn't as obvious as you might think it is.
For further reading from ChatGPT:
U.S. vs. Canada: Telecom Foreign Investment Restrictions
| Factor | USA | Canada |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Foreign Ownership Cap | 20% (strict limit, no exceptions) for companies holding FCC licenses | 20% direct cap for large telecoms |
| Indirect Foreign Ownership Cap | 25% (FCC can approve higher case-by-case) | 33.3% indirect cap for large telecoms (46.7% total limit) |
| Approval for Exceeding Cap? | Direct ownership: No exceptions Indirect ownership: FCC can approve above 25% | No exemptions for large carriers Small carriers (<10% market share) have no limits |
| Workarounds for Foreign Investors? | Use U.S. holding company to bypass 20% direct limit | Use indirect ownership, but strict total cap |
| National Security Review? | CFIUS + Team Telecom (DOJ, DHS, DOD) | Investment Canada Act + CSIS/Public Safety Canada |
| Foreign Ownership in Major Carriers? | Allowed with FCC approval (e.g., Deutsche Telekom owns 50%+ of T-Mobile US) | Not allowed for large carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus all Canadian-owned) |
| Foreign Investment in Spectrum? | Allowed with FCC approval | Requires CRTC & ISED approval (often restricted) |
| Foreign Investment in Infrastructure? | Allowed with conditions | Highly restricted, especially in rural areas |
