See?
There you go taking the side of americans again.

Canada has stricter health rules on milk and pork.
You want shit, go eat it there.

you really have a lot to learn...you might not understand fair trades...it always changes...if one party feels it's not fair, they go back to the negotiation table and sort it out...why do you think Carney folded? He could've kept on fighting it but he knew there's some merit to Trumps claims...you need to reach an agreement to continue the relationship...which we still have...whether you like it or not...man you are one whiny dude...lol.

Right, so one side decides they don't like it and they go back with guns to take it all.
That's your idea of trade.

You keep arguing Germany was right to invade Poland.

He's as legit a democratic president as your pedo hero.
So if China takes their guns out because they think america's president isn't legit, that's ok?
And if they decide that the trade deal is now unfair because of america they can also attack?

Trump was voted...Maduro lost but doesn't want to step down...lmao...you really all in with him huh? pathetic.

I'm sure your post makes sense to you. Actually, friends and family ask me if I have heard of various political events for similar reasons to here. They want to try to believe they are doing something. Generally they also know I won't dismiss their concerns, but rather give them a different take on things that they saw on cable news. From there, we might continue the discussion.

It's possible your bias is that everyone who doesn't agree with all anti-Trump messaging has to be 100% MAGA. That of course is overly-simplistic. That's why I can actually have political discussions with friends and family.

I'm sure my friends and family have discussions amongst themselves. I would think that was perfectly normal. However, you might be projecting time spent on political forums to broad-based social groups. We talk far more about things like sports, movies, vacations, restaurants and family dynamics than we do politics.
That is fine if that is your take; you have the right to believe in your take.

Now, if you can please answer my question, which you conveniently ignored. I won't judge. I may accuse you of pretzelling, but that is as judgmental as it will be.

@WyattEarp, so do you agree with Miller that the US has the right to just take over Greenland?? Is this another wonderful Trump idea??

Go to the 5:40 mark to hear one of your government clowns once again threaten Greenland.

As part of the USMCA that we signed back in Trump's first term Canada committed to allowing the US dairy producers access to up to 3% of the Canadian market. We didn't allow that to happen. Canada is like Europe in many ways very protectionist. Case in point look at interprovincial trade barriers that still exist. Mainly to protect the weaker Atlantic provinces and of course Quebec.
On the flipside we do have legitimate gripes with the United States in some areas. Case in point the longstanding dispute over softwood lumber. But there is no doubt that overall Canada unfairly benefits from the trade relationship which is why Trump and his gang are upsetting the apple cart. They're sick and tired of getting shafted and being taken advantage of. Now I don't like some of the tactics he employed which ended up costing the CPC a minority gov't in the last election. He could have handled the dispute in a better manner and a bit more diplomatically.
Bottom line is this. Canada relies on the United States for about 70% of its total exports. The US relies on Canada for just 17% of theirs. Who's holding A-A and who's holding 7-7 in this scenario?
Let me just leave this here so you have the facts at your fingertips.





Under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the U.S. is allowed to export specific, limited quantities of various dairy products to Canada under tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), free of the otherwise high Canadian tariffs. These quotas are set in metric tons (MT) and increase annually by 1% for 13 years after the initial phase-in period, which ended in year six (2025).
The specific annual quota volumes (at year six levels, 2025) for key product categories are:
  • Fluid Milk: 50,000 MT
  • Cheese (all types & processing): 12,500 MT combined (6,250 MT each)
  • Cream: 10,500 MT
  • Skim Milk Powder: 7,500 MT
  • Butter & Cream Powder: 4,500 MT
  • Yogurt & Buttermilk: 4,135 MT
Exports that exceed these specified volumes are subject to high over-quota tariffs, which can range from over 200% to nearly 300% (e.g., ~298% for butter).
Overall, these TRQs were designed to give U.S. producers access to about 3.5% of Canada's domestic dairy market. The U.S. has not consistently filled all of its available quotas due to various administrative and market factors, leading to ongoing trade discussions.

How bout I am there when I speak with my family and friends and you are not? Yeah, that's my take.

Now, if you can please answer my question, which you conveniently ignored. I won't judge. I may accuse you of pretzelling, but that is as judgmental as it will be.
I'm currently not interested in the subject of Greenland particularly on the Maduro and Venezuela thread.
