Dairy and meat are well regulated. The US supply simply compliments the supplies we already have...we are not heavily reliant on them for it. Only way for Carney to turn our economy around is make a deal with Trump...Liberals may not like Trump and him running his mouth about Canada but let's face it...The US is our best option...better than China at least... Who else can we really make a deal with?
Alberta’s future in Canada depends on Carney’s greatest fear: Trump or Climate Change
- Thread starter oil&gas
- Start date
A lot of Quebecois also move north east Ontario where most are also french speaking...Honestly, the Bloc serves almost no purpose now. Their primary job is to preserve Quebec, but french speaking citizens continue to drop, they are pushed out the province's major city and are not really sufficient on their own.
It will be interesting to see how Carney will convince Alberta to give more money to Quebec.
I disagree we cannot replace the trade volume with the USA, but its a medium/long term endeavor. It would be problematic for the US to replace Canadian potash, nickel. aluminum and oil, amongst other things. And BTW the situation we are in perfectly illustrates how Canada has insufficient population. Trump would not be fucking with Canada so readily if there were `100m Canadians.
We can make deals with the EU, LATAM, Japan, Korea, ASEAN, trade more directly with Mexico. Yes the USA is the EASIEST option even with that twit. But even if we make a deal, the goal should be to diversify away from the USA. Allow cars that meet EU regs into our market especially EVs as an example.
We are already doing all of that... Sure diversify away but US will still br the whale it always has been...they are our Cash Cow...we don't need to compete with the US...we need to partner with them...fairly.
Exactomundo best post yet, enough with Happenin Johnny's Chicken Little routine. The USA has made Canada lazy, those days are gone. Aren't we trading with Mexico directly already? The price of avocados has dropped.
Richy I'd rather partner with Hannah's inner thighs.
how long does it take for 2 people to agree to ' remove all Tariffs". 100% including softwood lumber & supply management ?
again
we are not going to replace 400 billion worth of trade
diversify away to the best of your ability
call me when you get to 25 -50 billion , so I can remind you that you are still short 350 to 375 Billion
then we will look at the smaller margins and the higher costs of the incremental shipping
you should know you are on the wrong side when you are agreeing with nottyboi
Or if we had nuclear weapons instead of giving our radioactive metals away to the USA and others. Canada is the second largest producer of Uranium and the third largest producer of Cobalt in the world. By extension, where would LA be today without Canadian water bombers.
Anyone else notice that Trump's ass is fatter than Shaq's. Calling Dr. Dumbass.

Yup, joining the US is super popular right now.
Canada should be very worried.
the oil and gas sector can manage price volatility, it is inherent to the commodity based business
they can not withstand the Trudeau family / liberal party / Carney policies
The best move for Canada is to take us away from the USA as much as humanly possible and more towards Europe. He seems to be moving in that direction.
There's more than 190 countries om Earth and "lucky" Canada gets stuck with that giant shit-pile known as the USA as neighbours.
As I said. There are a boatload of protectists there too.
Trump is not all powerful. And soon will be quite impotent
Dealing with EU will be costly...like double on what we have to deal with the US...those tariffs can be reciprocal and can be mitigated...again, fighting US on something that is manageable and turn to EU is not the best option for Canadians... I'd rather Canada deal with Japan, SoKor, India and China than EU...if anything EU needs us more than we need them... Canada simply can not prosper the way it prospers with US as a partner...have faith on Mark Carney...I mean you voted for him...he is gonna make a deal with Trump and be happy with the results...
There are more matters than trade. When Carney has 6 bus loads of refuges at Quebec's door, we'll see how trade cooperation goes.
The EU has never issued threats against us. Fuck the USA and fuck Americans. There's more to life than money; have some dignity and self-respect.
Carney will make a deal with Trump...this will be good for Canada. You hate Americans because of Trump? That's some serious TDS you got there...full blown?
