I'd feel a little more comfortable securing the canadian border. The cartel have said they'll fight the soldiers at the Mexican border.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days after talk between Trudeau and Trump. Trump folds.
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
Try to keep up with the flow of the conversation. I wasn't bragging. It's not like I originated a thread talking about my education.
But when somebody says that I'm poorly educated, I have the right to show them that they're wrong. That's what that was. Let me know if that's a problem for you.
the tariffs may /may not work
they are likely the stick used to
- get attention (he does have an ego)
- Get the border secured
- wake up the trade partners - we were not ready for a trade war
- to be determined- he is unpredictable
Here are some back of the envelope # ( nit picking at a value is really a waste of time- its a relative comparison )
| Canada (we shall put it first) | USA | |
| Total tax burden on workforce (income tax, sales tax, property tax) | 46.1% | 24.7% |
| % of workforce in Govt | 20.1% | 13.3% |
| GDP per capita (USD) | 53 K | 81 K |
| Effective Corporate tax rate | 15% | 21% |
| payroll taxes | similar | similar |
| Public debt per capita Federal & Provincial | 60K (Ontario) | 104 K |
He wants to lower the corporate tax rate (say to 10%), shrink the size of govt (Elon Musk) & eliminate regulation
capital, companies, production and many very bright people will flow from Canada to the USA
while Trudeau / Carney plan to shift the carbon tax onto companies and keep expanding the government/ add new regulations
Like or hate Trump , he is going to change the rules of the competitive game
you may not like musk or be appalled at his methods, however I believe he will shrink their govt
Canadians do not want to become the 51 first state , that is not an option.
so we will need to compete to keep jobs, capital, companies and bright people north of the border
We will lose that game with Trudeau / Carney
We simply can not compete when 1 in 5 members of the work force are employed by govt, the govts grabbing 46% of our earnings and more burdens placed on our companies
the % workforce in govt and tax grab on citizens are unsustainable (insane actually) to begin with and absolutely impossible to be competitive with

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.
I did not divert in the slightest. I listed what I believe are common traits of tDSers. You said that none of them applied to you and asked me to show an example, which I clearly did and you could not meet my challenge. I said that you believe everything that trump says, yet you cited zero examples of where you did not believe trump. There was a clear uninterrupted flow to the discussion with no diversion on my part. Now, since you failed, it is you diverting and wanting me to prove something else.
I did put up and you had no examples of where you don't believe trump. You believe everything that he says. Since I put up the first time and you flunked there is no need to put up for you again unless you admit that you do believe everything that trump says. Are you willing to do that? Better yet, you should just admit that the whole list is correct.
Another suggestion is stop trying to outdebate me. You're not doing yourself any favours. Remember, trump said that he loves the poorly educated.
Keep moving the goalposts as much as you like. Now it's not that I bought a degree, it's that I don't have one at all. The girls are cuter than you.He's as much of a doctor as Dr. Dre
I wasn't talking about rights....every people no matter what they believe in have rights....all I'm asking you is, do you believe there are only 2 genders....transgender belongs to the gender they were born with...yes or no?
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

What ever you say Doc
Btw how much do those fake diplomas go for? Thinking about sprucing up my office....I don't get pendanic spelling Nazi. Why does it bother you so much? Do you beat your kids if they spell something incorrectly?
There was a whole lot more going on in Germany. To make your point, it's important to ignore all these preceding events.
Weak emerging Democracy
Hyperinflation
Great Depression
Massive Unemployment
Germany was buffeted by all of this in about ten years.
Do you self flaggalate when you make a spelling error?(Oh dear I am SURE I did not spell that one right) lolWhat kids?
the very same argument could be made of Trudeau
both are narcissists, both have scandals , both are vindictive ,both can be nasty and both lie
Trump is in your face, Trudeau is putting on his face
Canadians have no say wrt Trump being elected and need to face the reality he is not going anywhere for 4 years
Canadians may still have a say wrt Trudeau/ Trudeau 3.0
if you want to go further
ones a builder of economic value, while the other is hell bent on killing our resource sector.
one understands numbers while the other does not
neither would be a welcome guest at my place.
does that help ?

Last time you asked if I thought that there were more than 2 sexes and I said clearly said "no". Why are you now asking me again the exact same question but with slightly different wording. Was my 1st response unclear or is there some valid reason that I have to answer again?
I talked about rights because I felt your question was a test of whether I was woke or not. I've said that I'm not and gave my reasoning to reaffirm my position. Was there something improper? Did I break some rules?
What point are you trying to make?
You're assuming that I make spelling mistakes. You know what happens when you assume? You make an 'ass' out of you(u), in front of 'me'.
I was stating no opinion on either trump or Trudeau. There was no attempt at comparison either.
Reread my post you quoted and you will see that I was talking about common traits of tDSers, i.e., those afflicted with trump Devotee Syndrome. Not about trump or Trudeau.
