@smalltimecrimes @ericvideos91 I think it’s about time we turn off the taps on the maple syrup flow to the US, coming out of Quebec and Ontario. What do you think?

@FrenchLJohn @horror_hearted @solar_dragon24 Can you, at least, stop using such profanity?

@ztisdale Are you advertising your foolishness? Do you actually get work at Tisdale Analytics? It’s unclear…

@HankDesmondPhD Why wouldn’t he just give the money now, and ask for voters to support Republicans, in return?

@podadaim @Justiceforal1_ I’m not sure many of the people posting here are old enough to know what you’re referring to - the 2003 blackout - or, they are in such mental decline that their memory of it is hazy.

@Jfperrau @HaroldPimpaka @hansmercier51 We just have to watch out. He is an abuser, which means he’s capable of ordering and committing lethal violence against perceived opponents - or abuse victims - like Canada.

@ApesGamestop @oldpunker1 @creativewaves New York, Minnesota, Vermont, Michigan, Maine. Your failure to mention these other states alone is a pretty good indication that no such plan for “rerouting” exists 🤣.

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@kristalynnterry Yeah, the “percentage of GDP” value does not reflect what would happen if those transfers stop. The percentage of GDP reflected the dollar value of the import but not its importance in established supply lines.

@ApesGamestop @oldpunker1 @creativewaves How exactly would (1) be achieved? You do know that many Northern states are powered via Canadian power plants, right?

How would a blockade work, especially over time, given the size of Canada’s border? How would you overcome the intra-Canadian systems that cannot be blockaded?

@hardyrenos Canada is pursuing, and will very likely achieve, diversification enough to offset any throttling of its supply chains into the US. Canada definitely has supply. The US has the demand Canada needs, but that's not a clear advantage for the US in its negotiations.

@VegasVirago @NoNameMan47 @Teapot22222 the US uses vast quantities of pesticide ad its drought risk increases every year. We can grow our food in greenhouses if you want to ensure quality and business in Canada. Most tomatoes, for instance, are hothouse tomatoes grown and sold in Canada.

@VegasVirago @NoNameMan47 @Teapot22222 Okay. So, what changed when Trump became President? Change of party, yes, but Canada has developed free trade with Republicans in power before. The real difference is that Trump imposed 25% tariffs and then violated the CUSMA agreement.

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@NoNameMan47 @Teapot22222 @VegasVirago A primary reason why the US has such a large economy is because of free trade, and especially free trade in raw inputs. It requires these raw inputs to power its economic growth. Erecting tariff walls effectively throttles those inputs.

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@VegasVirago @NoNameMan47 @Teapot22222 what? I'm having a hard time runderstanding what you mean - in particular, the "it's REP President TRUMP" part.

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@Americanvalues @Terpin8or @RepJasonSmith @POTUS Canada expanding its military budget does not look like the outcome of some genius strategy of Trump's. They do not deserve much, if any, credit. The rest of Trump's actions do not logically follow.

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@Americanvalues @Terpin8or @RepJasonSmith @POTUS Sure, he is and was a catalyst, but then, how smart is it to then alienate such a close ally and trading partner as Canada, which had committed to expanding its military, as he had (apparently) wanted it to?

[Leon Migneron @ELMigneron]

@NoNameMan47 @Teapot22222 @VegasVirago The trade war will accelerate this shift away from US dependence. It's painful, but then again, so is getting in shape. These challenges are surmountable. Canada will regain markets, and the US will be left scrambling as it contends with higher prices for inputs into its economy.
