sure lets end this now, put 50 million americans at risk as temps drop to freezing overnights. nothing ushers in 51 state faster than threatening american lives and a thousand A10's screaming over the border brilliant plan
its actually not a good move. A targeted USA retaliation on energy, not electricity but fuels, can crush the entire east of Canada in days. People are not thinking.
There are multiple cities in Ontario with bans already. As a kid I had my house go up in flames because of fireworks set off down the street had landed on my roof and ignited the shingles. Ive wanted a ban ever since. FYI...shingles burn and ɓurn hot!!!These are explosives in the hands of untrained and most times not too smart individuals.
Until laws are changed the police will charge you and the crown will prosecute you also will also be open to civil litigation if injuries occur regardless of them being in the act of a crime. I remember a store owner being charged with kidnapping,forced confinement and assault when he tied up an armed thief. He lost everything in court battles!So if you are willing to risk criminal charges and losing your home and future then have at it. If the store security won't stop them then that tells you all you need to know about ur civilian options. A skill saw is not worth it and Ford is a fool for saying so under today's laws.
Canada better be careful. All Trump has to do is slap a large tarrif on refined fuels exports and it will shut Canada down. 80% of our fuels come from the USA and there is no replacement. Can you imagine a US 25% export tarrif on gas/diesel? Then add the carbon tax increase April!Looking at well over $2.00 a liter in Ontario. It will crush our economy. Ford is playing with fire
I just watched the full clip from Ronald Reagan and it was edited greatly and misrepresented what Reagan said.Fully cut was Reagan saying tariffs in some cases are a necessary tool, using the USA vs Japan trade war at the time as an example, to ensure trade fairness for the American people.I would be angry as well seeing the edited Ford ad with the actual address side by side.What in the world was Ford thinking? Ford is not helping Canadians one single bit with these actions or his constant anti-American rhetoric on american news channel appearances.
Tina Binda. The debate continues and has never been "debunked". And current studies and stats have only 4% of hard drug users NOT starting with marijuana as the first drug of use. Thats 96% of hard drug users starting with Marijuana use. Same as "Marijuana is safe" were as any cardiologist will tell you it is not if you have heart problems and can be fatal. Only Marijuana users are those that deny the truths and claim otherwise.
Existing orders remain in effect. 0% on USMCA compliant goods. 25% on non compliant goods. non compliant energy 10% and a reciprocal 12% on Canada's current tariffs on USA goods .And now there are offers of Canada to drop all existing tariffs on USA goods if USA drops its tariffs. Canada should just drop its tariffs anyways on USA goods. Some are as high as 270%!!!!
Canadians need an education in MMT and banking economics.The US dollar is going nowhere in our lifetimes. The amount of outstanding USD denominated debt and dollar demand worldwide is in the area of 100 trillion recorded and another 65 trillion unrecorded creating an astronomical demand for the USD.The Brics and EU combined x 10 would still have nowhere near the financial power of the USA. This is why the USD is accelerated in value against all other currencies on Earth despite an increase in domestic debt.Its this lack of knowledge that has the average Canadian saying join the EU or Brics.If Canadians knew the facts, Canadians would be looking to join the USA on current and future USD demand alone.Like it or not the USA will greatly outperform the world over the next generation simply as there are not enough USD that the world owes. And the US treasury/Fed has also been pulling dollar liquidity creating more demand.. World in trouble but USA is not!
Completely not interested in this unnecessary show. Some loyalist boomers like Carney may bend a knee to this outdated pointless useless clown show but those numbers are dwindling fast.
So whats the cost to taxpayers to get out of the contract? What is the backup plan to serve these communities? Who gets the next contract and how many years later? Do we give up an American supplier for a China one? There are consequences to this tit for tat not being reported.
Kevin. ....it was fully edited and cut out where Reagan stated tariffs were an essential tool to ensure fair trade using the at the time trade war with Japan as an example. Watch the full unedited clip
I'm tired of Trump Trump Trump. This is Canada, our own policies are our own fault.Keep blaming your neighbour for your own foundation having unrepaired cracks for a decade is ridiculous. Canada would have been in recession already as the only thing holding us up last 8 years has been government spending and government hires.That's pre Trump!!!
very disappointed in Canadians lack of knowledge. A) Canada imports 333 million gallons of refined fuel/petro products a day from the USA. That's the equivalent of 8 million barrels a day. We only export 4.4 million a day.So those calling to hit them in energy are you really prepared? I guarantee you are not. B) Canada government retaliatory tariffs are focused on consumer products. Products Canada does not have enough supply of on its own. Everything from shampoo to soup is going to skyrocket because of Canada's response.Read the retaliatory tariff list line for line.Where do you think the bulk of our food comes from during the winter?I guarantee you didn't can your winter supply of food last harvest season.Blame those in parliament for poor business climate and poor policy that led to Canada being reliant on the USA in the first place. Our politicians and media are leading us in the worst possible direct & retaliatory tariffs will hurt us more than Trump.
This wont end well. Look for a USA retaliation export tariff on fuels and refined petroleum products. It will crush Ontario/PQ and the entire eastern Canada who rely on USA for nearly all gasoline and diesel and will also badly hurt Alberta who imports 80% of its distillates to even move its oil to refiners. Remember the USA buys oil to process and send back to Canada. Its a big circle that benefits Canada more than the USA.Any export tariffs leveled by the USA or export tariffs or reduced exports by Alberta hurts our own worse than the USA.It will create chaos.Eastern Canada will see soaring fuel prices and the west will see massive reduction in production requirements leading to layoffs and potential shutdowns. Canada does NOT have the refining capabilities to process our own needs or infrastructure to supply it.
