@Masterflip_ Taking Vlad's comments at face value, we're supposed to believe that a team signs a free agent to a big contract just to thank and reward them for the job they did in the past with another team?
@yahhhbro@Masterflip_ It isn't true that's why they're given the contract. What's true is the amount of the contract is based on an expectation of future performance consistent with proven past performance. If a player has performed demonstratably better than others, they're considered a good risk.
@Sharkkey_@Masterflip_ He's completely wrong. Which means you are for saying that. Past performance isn't what he's getting paid for, its the trust in that proven past performance that leads to the expectation he will continue at that level.
@Climbingmod48j@TrumpTruthOnX Seriously? The Canadian Prime Minister is responsible is responsible for the rise in global oil prices since he took office 18 months ago?
@DEngerdahl@TrumpTruthOnX@MarkJCarney The tariffs and tradebwar was started by President Trump before Carney was elected. Indeed, that's why he was elected and enjoys an unprecedented 70% support for his handling of such amongst Canadians.
@CarolEl29548627@Mel__Gibson01 I understand. Try not to take it personal like the victims who are venting at all Americans. Once that leader is gone there is hope that the USA will right this wrong and hopefully people on both sides can put the chaos and anger he created behind us.
@ryangerritsen@TheEconomist@IvisonJ Its not good or the Americans would state the tariff rates that Canada rejected. They haven't because they know they are numbers that would cause auto makers to leave Canada and cripple Canadian lumber, steel and alluminum industries. Trump has said thats what he wants. Listen.
@CarolEl29548627@Mel__Gibson01 Its about the leader. Thing is he was elected twice, so that makes it more alarming to be treated in this way. A lot of Canadian's livelihoods could be turned upside down so there's an edginess.
@provocateur_One@MarcNixon24 I think its worth asking why the USA agents didn't play by the rules. US and Canadian law enforcement always work together. Canada's rift with China was because Canada held the Huawei executive because of a USA extradition request.
@GregsonBruce@FoxNews Nice! Thanks, I was not aware of that. Bottom-line is Canadian banks are more conservative in the risks allowed which means lower fast profits than USA banks, but less exposure to legalised hedgefund Ponzi schemes as the USA experienced in 2008.
@jrjcm88@RpsAgainstTrump okay, but what about the 2 Trillion dollars worth of stuff that 10 million Americans make for export? Ready to say goodbye to that?
@RpsAgainstTrump Only a child thinks if you stop buying from others they will still buy $2 trillion a year from you which employs about 10 million Americans.
