@Sean_Speer The basic issue is trust. The US reneged on Gordie Howe bridge…essentially embezzeling money from Canada. You have lied about Canada imposing tariffs when they were over quota tariffs that you negotiated within CUSMA. Canada needs to diversify its trade.
@_PA_KAG_girl Canada has a better debt rating than the US…the 10 Yr treasury rate is lower than the US which tells you that the bond market is more concerned with the US $40 T debt…and with higher inflation and low job creation and GDP at 2% you are screwed.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that the Federal Reserve may be forced to raise interest rates due to Donald Trump's mismanagement of inflation. Wow.
@_PA_KAG_girl 2X rate of Canada so if you are using that metric is a detractor you need to become better informed. The US looks so weak under this admin…naming lakes and losing wars to Iran seem to be current capabilities
@_PA_KAG_girl Better to pivot from a nation in decline with the growing deficit, skyrocketing debt, spiking inflation and muted job growth. Canada has a median net worth that is double that of the US…so more robust middle class to absorb transition impacts. The US also trades with China at
@_PA_KAG_girl Upset that Canada is not accepting that they need to be a vassal state of the US. For a country that seemingly has no interest in Canada and doesn’t need anything from Canada it is puzzling that there is so much concern and animus.
@_PA_KAG_girl The US seems upset because Canada is making pivots and diversifying away from the US. This is a good thing for both parties. If Canada felt that the trade war negotiations were unbalanced, where the US was threatening then it is their sovereign right to decline. The US seems..
@jimcsek Agree that Canada has squandered last ten years. When adjusted for the cost of living and purchasing power, Canada's median income is estimated near $45,300 USD, compared to the U.S. median of about $41,200 USD. US has ultra wealthy which skews results.
@greg_ip@Noahpinion Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): When adjusted for the cost of living and purchasing power, Canada's median income is estimated near $45,300 USD, compared to the U.S. median of about $41,200 USD. This puts the typical middle-income Canadian roughly 10% ahead of the typical American
@tallRevere@Lars08146271 The median net worth of Canada is double that of the US. While Canada does not have the few ultra wealthy like the US the vast majority of Canadians are much more wealthy than the vast majority of Americans.
@richarddeitsch Grab anything that it can take on its way down. Sad. And mystifying that America regardless of political stripe wouldn’t call out the non-ethical behaviour in real time.
@richarddeitsch More recently: how does any American justify their country’s actions in reneging on the Gordie Howe bridge? America was once viewed as the leader of the western world, belief in law and order. It is now acting like a lawless unethical world leader on the decline and will to….
Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.
@USAmbCanada Who are you trying to convince? You already showed your true colours by renege on fairly negotiated agreements such as Gordie Howe bridge and CUSMA. The US used an illegitimate provision to apply tariffs that circumvent CUSMA. The world is witnessing the lack of ethics. Sad.
@USAmbCanada@USTradeRep Illegitimate provision that is outside the spirit of CUSMA that your emperor heralded as the best free trade agreement ever negotiated.
@USAmbCanada@USTradeRep Right because the US is completely trustworthy. You have proven that you consistently renege on fairly negotiated agreements. Defend the position taken on Gordon Howe bridge where you effectively embezzled financial benefits. The tariffs US applied to Canada are using an..
