@TheTorontoSun Trump just gave Canada the social license to get a new pipeline built. No amount of opposition will stop it. The country will demand it to secure our economic position in the future
@freedombunkr If you’re going to bullshit people just make statements that can’t be easily proven wrong. No Canadian paid 60% tax in 1998. The top marginal rate was about 54% on high income earners. Your point about high taxes in Canada is valid but your hyperbole is bullshit.
@MarkReid42 Trump secures a supply years away to replace what Canada is going to sell to other countries when the pipeline is built. He chooses an unstable country that no oil co wants to invest in over Canada. Guess he doesn’t realize how much USA investment is in the Alberta oil patch
@jkenney Thump has his worshipers that will never leave him. As for legacy the only thing he cares about is how much money he can pad in his bank for his family. There never was nor will there ever be anything he does that is good for anyone other than Trump
@markcritch How about we rename the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant near Lake Ontario “Trump Tower”? The shithouse is a fitting tribute and well aligned with his character.
@globeandmail@fordnation please rename the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant near Lake Ontario “Trump Tower”. The shithouse is a fitting tribute and well aligned with his character. How a great country like America elected him as President boggles the mind.
@FoodProfessor Other countries don’t have the same consequences given how much we trade with the USA. It’s never going back to the way it was but the PM is risk managing while the economy is reshaped in our country.
@hrh_elliot It’s about buying more at home to boost production and wealth. Reducing buying American (like the targeted tariffs) is bringing consciousness to the American people about what’s going on. We need non-Maga Americans advocating for us. They are, and always will be, our friends.
@JigglyPants44 There’s one thing for sure in Canada. We are all on side until we have to do skmerhing beyond words. All you need to do is look at interprovincial trade barriers. We are nowhere close to being where we need to be. Canada, we can do better.
@JigglyPants44 When things simmer down (ie Trump and those like him are back to screaming in a right wing echo chamber) I will again. Have a lot of friends in America and overall it’s a great country but just can’t support a place that’s attacking us at this time.
@sarobertson_ Of all the experts in the USA who could be advising on the economy Trump chooses this fraud. Perhaps he’s building a rapport so they’ll get along well when they are cell mates in the future.
@trainofangels00 He’s not scared he’s a sociopath. Whatever can keep attention off of Iran, the cost of living (although our spat isn’t gong to help him there) and the Epstein stuff is his goal. We are just the most recent distraction. There was also Venezuela and Cuba. What comes next?
@ianbremmer@bruceanderson But they won’t fight for us. Even post Trump we will be paying some form of tariff and more than we were pre Trump. That doesn’t make them bad people as most Americans are great people. But they’re having an existential crisis in their country. We are not top of mind.
@trainofangels00 If this goes 2 years and gets worse it’s going to be quite difficult. Canadians will have to make difficult decisions on how we spend our tax dollars. We need to plan for an improved relationship post Trump but things will never go back to pre Trump 2.0.
@DeanAllisonMP Trudeau and Carney are worlds apart. But I am not a fan of the Trudeau Ministers who are still hanging about. They were part of the problem too. Thankfully Carney is a one person show. Find an electable leader for when Carney is gone.
@alanfryermedia I miss the PC Party. Their disappearance allowed the Liberals to drift as far left as they have. It was always a tussle left and right of centre. We haven’t seen that for a long time. But Carney is coming closer than anyone in a long time. But still way to go.
