Rising prices in Steel, Oil, Lumber, Potash.

All while trying to layoff half of America's public workers? Gonna be interesting to see what shape America is in 6 months from now.
Better question is what will Canada look like a year from now?
The US can recover from the short term pain and be self-sufficient eventually...Canada can't.

You don't think "incentives" are a major part of trade negotiating? Cripes you do realize we discount oil going into the USA right?

Canada has a monsterous amount of raw materials and the expertise to get them out. Time to go all in With the high paying jobs that go with it. And all the subsidiary industries to supply it.
From what I understand, TV and film productions negotiate an incentives package for each production. I would presume the production comes to Canadian film commissions with a budget of how much it will spend and hire locally in Canada. The film commissions also provide some on-the-ground services.

I'm sure there are some incentives and negotiations over certain commodities but that would be a blanket agreement.

Love it. Great imagination.


Very clever memory to use those PERFECT song lyrics.

These MAGA'ts don't even realize they are being spoken TO, not listened to. Their 'letters' don't even get returned to sender. The fan mail gets stored in a toilet if sent to Mar-a-Lardo, or flushed down one at Mar-a-Lardo North,

Sorry my friend, but you were speaking in the present tense about inflation.
My response was to Skoob claiming Trump is protecting his country using tariffs. My reply was correct but you believed I was implying the current state of inflation which BTW, isn't any better under Trump and based on his actions so far hasn't done anything that will improve it.

Instead, he's guaranteeing it will go higher using his favorite tool ever, tariffs.

I didn't say it was Trump directly. I said his going down to Mara Lago was. There is a distinction here. Trudeau should not have gone down. It made him and Canada look weak. Sending down his Safety Minister to deliver a message would have been fine.

Certainly not a major reason. But it absolutely added a decent sized chunk of straw onto the camel's back.
If Justin hadn't gone, the righties including you would be all over him that he isn't doing anything. There is nothing Justin can do which doesn't draw nonsense and bullshit from the looney right. The straw you are using was pulled out of your ass, it's made of paper and is falling apart.

Justin's Canada Last policies has led us to this existential crisis. If Canada was more self sufficient instead of milking the USAs golden titty then this would be a non-issue
How has Canada been milking the titty? Do you realize how long Canada has been trading largely with our once-American friends? Do you realize who signed the last trading agreement with Canada and Mexico claiming it was the best agreement ever? Do you believe everything the cult/felon leader tells you?

sure squeezy...sure...Justin tried to salvage the relationship with Trump...throwing freeland under the bus...because Trump didn't like her too...
Wow, Ritchie, you grabbed a vid of Freeland that was 6 years ago. So tell me, how did she last 6 years as Finance Minister? She did do a wonderful job negotiating the free trade deal that now Trump says is terrible. You know the one he signed and said it was the best deal ever, that one!!!! You really need to learn you can't suck and blow at the same time. Please be better.


She's almost as good as Trudeau at avoiding answering questions.

They let the border slip into disarray for a decade and now scrambling to fix it and saying "they are doing good work"? What exactly is the "good work" they are doing if there weren't any issues and now like magic they are stopping smugglers?
Skoob, what is the US doing to stop drugs and guns coming over our border? Please explain thank you but before you do, please read the information I've provided for you so you do not look silly again.

You have Trump on the brain and are very misinformed about your own government. You really need to apply for your green card. Trump needs a kiss ass, I mean loyalist like you in the US.

I am fine, I've never been better. I will continue to do well over the next 4 years and when the 3 ring circus starts to collapse all around you, I will be here to pick you up, drive you to the border and get that green card working for you.

Strawman argument.

Canada never raised any issues about things coming over our border. So you asking that question is purely an attempt at distraction as usual.

It's only been a month and no, you're not better.
What "collapse" are you fantasizing about Nostradumbass?
The 3 ring circus is over. It was the last 4 years.

The US Liberal clown car has left the circus and is making a stop in Ottawa to pick up the rest of the clown-show posse.

What you're witnessing now is common sense and sanity based on campaign promises that are being delivered for the majority who wanted them.

The govt basically has a standardized tax subsidy package. The city will help facilitate road closures and other filming permits, or the Province.

They don't have to worry much over hiring. We are considered to have superior crews, extras, bit actors, and available rental equipment and side services.

We didn't raise these issues because they didn't raise them either. Both sides worked together. Trump is now hurting that cross border cooperation.

This has nothing to do with border security. It's a distraction. And just plain stupid policy.

It's because I'm financially stable and know how to adapt to most situations but there will be many Canadians laid off but you and the righties don't give a shit unless you yourselves are the felon's victims.

Canada has always complained about the guns coming over but they know, it's up to them to stop them, just like it's up to the US to stop what comes through their border. Especially when the country's border is very safe when someone with half a brain looks at what is going accross.

First off, please becareful with the name calling. I would want you to have to rebrand like Jimi did.

Trump is the ultimate 3 ring circus and you should move there and join it. Apply for your greencare, we do not need folks who side with felon leaders who want to destroy Canada.

I will say it again, I've never been better. I did fantastic under Harper, I grew more assets under Justin and I will grow again under whatever goverment we get next because unlike you, I don't cry like a baby and make up nonsense and bullshit on a daily basis. I live in reality and adapt accordingly.
