  • Trump’s Canada Rant is Worsening

    The Bulwark channel breaks it down very nicely. Trump is losing it. He continues to repeat falsehoods.

    Like….

    1. The USA is subsidizing Canada. False. The USA buys Canadian goods and pays Canada for them. What, are we supposed to give these to the USA for free? When Trump is talking a subsidy of $200B he is referring to the trade deficit which is wrong on two counts. First, it’s not a subsidy. Second, it’s not $200B, it’s $63B according to The Office of the United States Trade Representative (you know, A USA GOVERNMENT SITE!!!) https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/canada As usual, Trump can’t get the basic fact correct. If he can’t do that how can we expect him to do the job of President? Exactly. We can’t!!!!
    2. The USA doesn’t need Canadian cards, Canadian trees, Canadian energy. THEN STOP BUYING IT TRUMP! We’re not twisting your arm. For fucks sakes, this is our problem that you buy Canadian stuff? Get a brain, ya dope!
    3. That Canadians are the worst at negotiations. Huh? I don’t even know how to answer this one. Let’s see…..Canadians go to the negotiation table to discuss trade with the USA delegation, details are worked through to arrive at an agreement, and then both sides sign the agreement. What does one expect beyond this? Trump – You signed the USMCA agreement! Are you a dumb ass for doing so? Is that what you are saying? If so, I agree that you’re a dumb ass but not for USMCA but in general. Probably the biggest dummy in politics today.
  • St Patrick’s Day – “Couldn’t Think of a Better Guest”

    This guy has a longer rap sheet than some of the people Trump has had deported of late.

  • Trump Not = Carney

    I guess “dumb stuff Trump does” should be contrasted with the intelligence and insightfulness of Carney. Here’s Carney first press conference during his first trip to the UK and France. Well worth a listen. Particularly if you need a “brain cleanser” after watching one too many Trump speeches.

  • Annexation Talk Continues

    In this past week’s G7 summit at Charlevoix, Canada the annexation topic was mentioned. And Rubio, America’s Foreign Secretary did nothing to diminish it. The other G7 countries got the straight goods from Canada’s Foreign Minister Joly.

  • Respect Trump!!!

    I find it priceless that the guy demanding respect from other world leaders and countries is a convicted felon, business fraudster, rapist, adulterer…..and he wants our respect?!!!!

  • What chatGPT says about tarrifs

    What Trump says. All roses and lollipops spoken like a true politician.

    Question: If a country applies tariffs on all products it imports, will it become rich?

    Answer:

    Not necessarily. While tariffs can generate government revenue and protect domestic industries, they also have significant downsides that can hurt a country’s overall wealth. Here’s why:

    1. Higher Prices for Consumers – Tariffs make imported goods more expensive, which can lead to higher costs for consumers and businesses. This reduces purchasing power and can slow economic growth.

    2. Retaliation from Other Countries – Trade partners may impose their own tariffs in response, making it harder for the country’s exporters to sell goods abroad. This can hurt industries that rely on international markets.

    3. Inefficiency and Lack of Competition – If domestic industries are protected from foreign competition, they may have less incentive to innovate or improve efficiency. Over time, this can lead to lower productivity and stagnation.

    4. Supply Chain Disruptions – Many industries rely on imported materials and components. Tariffs can increase production costs, making domestic businesses less competitive globally.

    5. Economic Isolation – Countries that heavily restrict trade may struggle to attract foreign investment and technological advancements, limiting long-term growth.

    While some historical examples show that temporary tariffs can help specific industries develop (such as in early-stage industrialization), an economy that permanently isolates itself through high tariffs is likely to become less competitive and poorer in the long run. A balance of trade policies is usually the better approach.
