Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: Trump folds again. 90 day pause.

[nottyboi]

Can you prove that or are you just making accusations because you're drunk again?

Haven't had a drink in 2 days. I don't need to prove it. You know you are lying, everyone does. (except the really stupid ones).

 

[shack]

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

LOL. Such a simple joke went over your head. Not that I'm surprised.

 

[nottyboi]

You can't talk to a doctor like that!

He is probably a quack.

 

[WyattEarp]

Until January 6, 2024, and this all changed with a stupid electorate voting in a felon/conman.

Squeeze, the world has to change. You have to change. We all have to change. You have to move on.

One cult follower calling out another cult follower.
You didn't even notice when you became part of the same team.

Though here in Ontario, our own leader is also apparently a member of that cult.

Not surprising, as even her husband Dumb DOFO said this after Trump had won the elections:

Ford seen on video saying he was '100% happy' Trump won U.S. election — until tariff threat
Ontario paused retaliatory measures to U.S. tariffs Monday after Trump delayed them by 30 days

Seeing as he's the leader of the cult then he is not a follower. 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.

i can not figure out your response because of the quotes
[/QUOTE]
I may have edited it after you saw it. Try this.

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.

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.

If Trump solely goes after Mexico, he gets hit with picking on poor, brown Mexico. Good or bad, Canada could be a distraction. Challenging friend, neighbor and adversary alike can be deception on some level.



Follow the wider reach of all this global trade rhetoric. By the way, you said Trump was hyper aggressive. Then why wouldn't some of Trump's demeanor and actions with Trudeau be petty and personal?

The Trump Administration's stated goal is to reorganize the global trade order. The U.S. can't be the consumer of last resort for the global economy at this magnitude indefinitely. I'm not defending Trump and his antics per se. I'm just trying to look at the bigger picture on global trade. They have been my personal views long before Trump.

Trump will be massively criticized every step of the way on trade. If he stands up to China's unbalanced trade, he will still be criticized.
You know Americans need their cheap stuff. I just bought something today that used to come from China. It was made in Vietnam. In my opinion, that's a little bit of progress.

Who owns the company in Vietnam?

 

[bver_hunter]

But now Dumb DOFO desperately tries to downplay his remarks about Trump:

Doug Ford downplays hot mic comments saying he was pleased Trump won

Doug Ford downplays hot mic comments saying he was pleased Trump won

PC Leader Doug Ford is downplaying some hot mic comments he made to supporters Monday, saying he was pleased when Donald Trump won the U.S. election in November.

What a clown!!

 

[Zoot Allures]

Only a few days into Duck Donalds rule and we are dealing with tariffs

WTF about the auto industry? as they send parts across the borders daily to build cars.

Imagine you are a small business trying to survive the stress of Trumps nonsense

We got 4 more years left of this rapist

Latest news is he is mad because no usa banks are open in Canada
so they can launder mafia money like TD did in the usa

What next? There will be no end to this misery

 

[DesRicardo]

how can i be stumped when you did not answer the question ?
You do not mess with logic very often do you ?

Again
You want to turn of the gas to the USA
What do you expect would happen next ?


Not without an election it wont be
Trudeau will be out of other peoples money by then and would have to reconvene Parliament


Yes Trump is not a nice neighbour , he is a bad man , he is mean, nasty and vindictive , he likely never played hockey and probably does not like Tim Hortons.
We know all that

Again
You want to turn of the gas to the USA
What do you expect would happen next ?

How's this for logic? No need to shut the gas off. Trump folded.

Trump Folded. You should have jumped in this thread yesterday. You will not walk around this.

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.

Worry about foreign ownership of telecom companies has a long history in the U.S.

It’s part of an overall mistrust of foreign influence with deep roots in American history.

The USA restricts ownership too. In a big way.

Tic Toc is just the latest.

Completely unconvincing argument on a number of levels. If Canada is a smokescreen, then why the "51st state" rhetoric??

If America's long term goal is to level its balance of trade with the rest of the world, shouldn't that be a carefully thought through plan that is put into effect by Congress?

And you know why your something is now made in VN and not China??...... Because the importer switched source countries to avoid tariffs. Trump tariffs VN and suddenly the same item will come from Indonesia, or Malawi, or Ecuador.

Let's work on stuff together, Earp. Balance of trade deficits can be absolutely fine. Imagine that there's a country called Earpland. It is the world's only source of Earponium, a valuable rare earth that has revolutionized manufacture. Earpland has a population of 1,002 Earps and sells Earponium to the US for $10 billion per annum. In return, the Earps imported $10M in goods and services from the USA.

The Earponium enhances the value of the finished goods made in the USA by 50 times. So the USA pays $10B for the raw materials and profits to the tune of $50B.

Now why is any of that bad for anyone?

I know that we rarely agree on anything but we clearly agree on Dave's intellect, maturity and character. Or should I say lack thereof, in terms of all three of those parameters.

How long until he gets banned (jimi)again?

 

[WyattEarp]

Who owns the company in Vietnam?

Good point. It's not visible.

If you get granular, who knows if it's really made in Vietnam.

WATCH: As she left RFK JR’s
@RobertKennedyJr
hearing today, Elizabeth Warren
@SenWarren
lied to
@LoomerUnleashed

@TheCharlesDowns
, saying, “I don’t take contributions from big Pharma executives, I don’t take any corporate PAC money, and you and your allies already know that.” Warren was responding to our question asking, “Is your acceptance of $5.2 million from the Big Pharma industry since 2020 the reason why you don’t want RFK JR suing big Pharma?” Records show that Senator Warren has taken over $5.2 million from Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex since 2020.

No, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren aren’t top recipients of pharmaceutical industry donations
Behind misleading claim by RFK Jr. is a quirk in the OpenSecrets site

No, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren aren’t top recipients of pharmaceutical industry donations

A quirk in the website OpenSecrets has given RFK Jr. a chance to misleadingly portray Sen. Bernie Sanders as receiving big money from big Pharma.

I still think something like the "51st state" is the animosity Trump has for Trudeau. The method to the aggressive madness towards an allied leader is that Trump sends a message to the rest of the allies........don't diss me, don't push me.

If America's long term goal is to level its balance of trade with the rest of the world, shouldn't that be a carefully thought through plan that is put into effect by Congress?

It would never happen. You might understand that lobbyists with industry money would flood the halls of Congress with money to get the results they wanted.

And you know why your something is now made in VN and not China??...... Because the importer switched source countries to avoid tariffs. Trump tariffs VN and suddenly the same item will come from Indonesia, or Malawi, or Ecuador.

No disagreement.

Same shit with the Colombian guy?

And we all find other certain people annoying. But - important difference - we don't fuck with ours and their economies in a juvenile dick swinging duel because of it.

Earp, try and make a case that your guy is fit to be PotUS!

It would never happen. You might understand that lobbyists with industry money would flood the halls of Congress with money to get the results they wanted.

That would never happen with Trump, would it?
