Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days after talk between Trudeau and Trump. Trump folds.

What do you mean they did not develop organically?

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.

Sounds like mental gymnastics to me frankly.

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.

 

[WyattEarp]

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.

What are you talking about?
Even if this is over, 2026 starts the review process.

You sound like Tojo after Pearl Harbor.

 

[shack]

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'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.

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.

 

[shack]

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

Not a serious answer. Something political. So you still have no examples of disagreeing with what he says.

I don't want to be your favourite anything.

Tell us again how educated you are? I really like hearing about how smart you are. What kind of marks did you graduate with?

 

[davenothere]

Not a serious answer.

I don't want to be your favourite anything.

But look! I'm cured of my TDS and it was all because of you Doc. I think a Nobel peace prize is in your future.

it would be great if you were right
but you are not

This was a severely stupid threat made. This isn't the 1950's anymore.

the threat is still there

We should fucking cut their gas supply of just to show them we're not playing.

and what you expect would happen next ?

 

[shack]

I don't get pendanic spelling Nazi. Why does it bother you so much? Do you beat your kids if they spell something incorrectly?

How do you expect people to take your posts seriously? You dispute a spelling error by committing another one.

Pedantic.

 

[DesRicardo]

You sound like Tojo after Pearl Harbor.

You want to relive the same outcome all over again? Sure. Nothing changes.

You don't get it.

 

[JohnLarue]

What's the bigger picture?

the USMCA gets opened up in 2026

Congratulations on your 1-week anniversary of joining this board, Dave!!

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.

You should be more respectful of your elders here.

 

[shack]

Shouldn't your name be shit shack? For obvious reasons.

Unlike you somebody showed some actual wittiness when they called me "shack of sit". That was a good one. Not juvenile.

 

[shack]

I answered your question with a question because I know you hate that.

Actually, it would be unfair to hold you to the same intellectual level, so I'll give you a pass.

 

[davenothere]

"shack of sit"

That makes no sense or your spell check broke again. Brilliant reply Doctor.

 

[davenothere]

Oh look no spelling mistakes. Gold star for you cupcake. Errr I mean Dr. Cupcake.

EXPLOSIVE: Canada’s border is WIDE OPEN by PORTS & TRAIN

Less than 1% of cargo is scanned. ZERO train cargo is inspected. No personnel, no equipment, no enforcement Fentanyl precursor chemicals POURING in from Vancouver’s port This isn’t a border. It’s a floodgate

Rather I think there are regulatory impediments that close access to the market.

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
Government Justification?	National security & competition	National security, cultural protection, sovereignty

The U.S. has direct foreign ownership of large banks and telecom. I can't make it more obvious.

hmm
you were talking about those afflicted with trump Devotee Syndrome.
but not about Trump, hmm

Exactly. trump, unlike his followers, is not a fool. There are times that he displays ignorance, but he is nobody's fool.

would you not agree Trumps biggest fan is Trump ? most narcissists are their own biggest fan
would you not agree that Trump has trump Devotee Syndrome?
So he is a tDSers, A tDSer to the max.

Seeing as he's the leader of the cult then he is not a follower. Most famous, successful people like billionaires, athletes, rock stars, movie stars have huge egos. That proves nothing. They are still is not a cult leader who has 80 million sheep ready to do his bidding and give up their free will. The other thing is that he doesn't actually believe half of the things he says. He knows he's playing the tDSers and laughing at them all the way to the bank/White House, for believing everything. It's like when he said that "his followers would support him even if he shot a man on 5th Ave". So he is not a tDSer.

If you are going to conduct a clinical psychology study, you can not bias your work by excluding a subject simply because you voted for him.

I believe that I am quite objective and do not display much bias. Trudeau in know way has a cult. TBH, I hardly follow Canadian politics. I don't even think that I even voted in the last couple of elections so you are missing the mark when you try to link me with Trudeau.
