A trade negotiation coalition if unable to reach favourable terms with trump could simply stall negotiations in bureaucracy long enough to likely cost him the mid terms and the republicans the next election when he has nothing to show for the fiscal pain he’s caused.
I completely agree Canada has suffered from poor leadership for the majority of the past 65 years. Our biggest trade crime that I can see is complacency in the status quo and not actively seeking out new trade partners previously. Likewise we should develop our own natural resources instead of...
Yes I imagine penguins have told a great many lies and committed a great many trade injustices. Their probably manufacturing fentanyl and smuggling terrorists as we speak.
You right the whole trade war has nothing to do with fair trade. It’s got everything to do with a New York business man at the head of a large economic power using his position to leverage a larger market share because his economy can afford to bleed longer. Congratulations your president is...
It won’t regardless of how the the trade plays out the Canadian/American relationship has been forever damaged some relationship may be salvageable but it’ll never again be what it was. I know the industries I’m involved in are actively seeking new markets at the expense of the market share the...
The furthest back I’ve dealt with is 162s and that speaks more to their longevity then my age. Father started on xl12 homelites and progressed from there.
Older jonsereds were designed for 45:1 or 40:1 depending on the saw I run it a little richer internally in the spring to make them smoke a little to help with the blackflies
If you discredit that child that’s fine I’ve got no reason to doubt what you say is true. The encyclopedia Virginia credits him with a total of six children by his slave whom apparently was his wife’s half sister.
What Jefferson did or didn’t do with his slave is of little consequence to me...
You pre date me with that one , I’ve seen a few mccullochs and homelites but they were all just chucked around in shops under benches and in the corner of wood sheds. The bow blade is an interesting design from the past I’ll have to research it a little I’m not familiar with it.
I mix 40:1 in the winter an 32:1 in the spring 32 helps with the flies , foul the odd plug but what is the cost of the plug as compared to a ring and jug
I wear the pants but same difference. Ear muffs are also often overlooked I know an awful lot of loggers that are functionally deaf from years of self abuse.
At the cost of entire industries that will be swallowed by state sponsored u.s. businesses. Auto workers may cheer him wonder what kind of reception he’ll get at the local feed n seeds.
I don’t see it not saying your not right in the auto sector. Ford comes out with a hard stance on tariffs ( he’s got no business take he’s got no federal mandate ) calls a snap election and wins on a hard stance platform. An election he otherwise looses in the face of a home grown scandal that’s...
Wonder what the going price is for a ford politician? Pretty clear he got bought off with the way he’s flipped on the issues. There’s certainly a history of corruption in the family. The greenbelt scandals come to mind and rob was surely a pillar of virtue.
Sounds doomed to fail to me, if your timeline is accurate than the economic down turn will outlast the current presidents term. Common sense dictates that a long term economic downturn will cost the republicans the white house at which point they democrats reverse policy to ease the burden and...
Wouldn’t captains of industries simply make hollow promises and platitudes for the next 18 months or so and see how the mid terms go before making any permanent shifts?
I don’t know if I should be talking to you or not your the bad Canadian posting offensive memes… shame on you.
I like when they come bragging about how much they’ll give you for your truck if you’ll just trade it when it’s in for service. It doesn’t take a brain mechanic to do the math on...
You honestly believe the average buyer sees past the size of his monthly payment? What is more likely is the lenders extend the maximum term another year so the monthly remains the same and charge a little more interest.
Yes because that is a Canadian only issue and never partaken of by Americans , seem to remember multiple postings of a foolish box of trumpinal or some other such nonsense. I agree whole heartedly there is a place for the memes and this isn’t it but it is certainly not a one sided issue.
Seen father set a brand new 272 on the tire of a porter holler at a hired man for showing up late and drunk and then get in the porter an drive away. Saw never had fuel in it.
No I haven’t and that saying something, if I can source a copy I know what I’m doing the next steam in. Couldn’t watch movies on the last steam. Had a freighter in the area had to keep an eye on
You keep bringing up about that 17 year old girl like trumps never been accused of sexual misconduct, it’s about as foolish as making the argument trump is good because Trudeau Putin Hilary Biden china or Zelenskyy is bad… TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT. It’s completely possibly even likely for...
Thanks you just gave me another reason to dislike the man , wasn’t bad enough he went off half cocked with no federal authority now he’s flip flopped on the issues at hand.
Yes we should all just drop all Tariffs then the U.S. with its 300 million more consumer surplus and state sponsored industry can swallow up the production capacity of smaller countries. Sounds an awful lot like a hostile takeover in business doesn’t it?
I can afford to bleed longer I’ve got...
So if any and all trade deficits numbers and comparisons are a red herring then we come back to my original theory trump lied about the whole trade issue and the security issue he used to justify his trade war, weaponized the u.s. economy to manipulate industry solely because he wanted a bigger...
7000= the difference in per capita spending if you take the numbers used to find the trade deficit. It’s not end consumers shopping at wall mart.
The trade deficit is currently 63.3 billion dollars
Canada exports 349.4 billion dollars from the U.S.
the U.S. exports 412.7 billion from Canada...
The real issue is the liberals have run a successful smear campaign holding up Pollievre in comparison to trump and the short sightedness of the average Canadian voter allowed them to blame shift and drive polling numbers down.
So far the 7000$ dollar number you don’t like is the only factual one I’ve heard, any number being tossed around by trump is either fallacy or an outright lie.
You can slice it any way you like at the end of the day Canadians out spend you 6.6 to one per capita and your president still wants more.
Those jobs don’t dry up over night , regardless of what the tariffs do it’ll take years to retool the auto sector. Most likely the auto industry isn’t going to do anything but make hollow promises for the next 18 months to the U.S. administration and wait for the mid terms.
Food staffs your...
Yes Canada is a terrible friend to the U.S. what with every Canadian out spending every American in cross boarder spending by a mere 7000$. If the spending was actually balanced the canada/U.S. trade deficit would be to the tune of 2.38 trillion annually.
@WAB would have a better idea on timeline but it seems to reason that the time it would take to retool a refinery and the time it would take to construct a pipeline are probably aligned to see Canada ship oil via ocean in the medium term. Any leader that doesn’t build a pipeline in the next term...
I think your wrong on Canada every leader with a chance of taking the election is talking hard ball and carney who is (unfortunately) ahead in the polls is looking to form a joint trade coalition with the E.U. I don’t see a quick resolution to Canada U.S. trade and I don’t see a long term...
