Living the dream

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@Noahpinion Global Oil prices declined, population growth from temporary residents (been reversing the last year) and bad policies by Trudeau .

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@jbsteinberg Oshawa and Oakville plants weren’t getting relief

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@scottlincicome Mr Lutnick who a month ago pulled last minute shenanigans on delaying a new bridge opening

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@FreeTradeBryan Moreno who seems to be looking for distractions the past month or so

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@petereharrell He can’t raise 338 past 50% ? Assuming items he didn’t tariff he does not want to (energy, potash etc). Sounds like he doesn’t have a lever to further retaliate?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@NickKouvalis Trump can’t increase the 50% rate I believe. He isn’t touching energy, potash etc. so what cards does he have to increase

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@RHFontaine Great points, biased here but we feel other than some potected industries (diary) Canada has been an ideal partner. Trade surplus is from discounted crude. Also missing a relevant story from a month ago when the USA refused to open a border bridge paid fully by Canada.

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@ExnerPirot How much more tax revenue are we getting from the energy/resource sectors ?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@NickKouvalis Honest question. Can us increase their pain? They are limited to 50% rate (?) and sounds like they are questionable from a legal perspective

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@fhoro I’m sure vastly oversimplified, but a 10% increase in energy from 2025 would cover 50% tariffs (aware that they are paid by importer). I imagine we have seen a yoy inc in those commodity prices ?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@RichardDias_CFA Come on rich, no one should be arguing we want a relatively fair deal. We don’t know the details but conflicting stories. Likely in between. However one country has a recent history of last minute shenanigans (see bridge, other trade deals).

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@MAAWLAW @USTradeRep So us can’t escalate tariffs further since 50% is the cap?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@AnthonyFarnell Even if it cost zero dollars wasn’t worth not be accessible for over 3 years

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@wickdchiq Did you miss the clawback part?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@MikePMoffatt I’m assuming older baby boomer parents with kids who no longer live there are “none”?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@RichardDias_CFA Still above cpi though?

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@PaulofTarsus88 @MPelletierCIO It’s over 1% gap, look it up. Looks like apples to apples it’s 5.4% as I said earlier higher no doubt. I may know far less that @MPelletierCIO about treasury yield however I think it’s important to get datasets accurate!

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@PaulofTarsus88 @MPelletierCIO USA needs to include active job seekers. Stats Canada has a comparison , Canada is r4 USA is r3. https://t.co/W5VpmuWVYs

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@guy_ngl @PaulofTarsus88 @MPelletierCIO It’s more than that. I provided stats Canada it’s over a percent. My point is you need to compare apples to apples comparison. I never said it was the same (“I am not doubting our unemployment is higher”)

[John Pollock @j_po87]

@PaulofTarsus88 @MPelletierCIO What was your choice to get to .1% because I’m seeing over a percent.
