John Ivison: Trump has ‘unusually positive view’ of Canada and things should ‘go well,’ top adviser says | National Post
Justin should probably start listening!

Looks like Trump has Canada's back!

- Start date
Trump is proving to be an action man, which is what most countries need. I've been saying all along that TPP was crap, and NAFTA needed to be changed to benefit more Canadian workers. These free trade deal agreement provided an out for CEO's to move businesses out of Canada/US to save money on labour, all at the expense of Canadian/US workers who need more than $6/ hour to survive. The top 1% have gotten very rich with trade deals. I hear Trump is already moving with XL, I'm starting to like this man more and more.
yup...positive signs
like I said before:
the art of the deal is that everyone gets what they need to make it worthwhile
we are 1/4 th of the US's market back and forth
The US needs us to do well to prosper themselves
its that simple
Trump understands and likes winners
and BTW, lb for lb, CANADA is a winner
our dollars are going to drop - the US especially as QE is repatriated, ours will follow.
but if we have our manufacturing back,
we will do fine
if we don't,
we wont be able to afford to inport anything nor will we be able to even keep our own resources

Yep, it's amazing how many people can't see that. (I think the A$$hole side of Trump emerges when he's not busy)
As long as the a$$hole and us are on the same page
its all good
If you have to deal with everyone's else's a$$holes
who better then an A$$HOLE?

For the most part all our trade deals have just been make work projects for otherwise useless political hacks. Except for the old Auto pact none of them have really benefited Canada.
Don't believe Trump has Canada's back. Trump has one agenda.. put America and American workers first.. he does NOT care about Canadian workers, that's our job, the job of the Canadian government.
The so called 'exemption' prospectively offered to Canada on tarriffs is something with a very sinister subtext. If Nafta goes, we are left with the FTA, which preceded it. That, under that idiot Mulroney, entrenched a COLONIAL status on Canada as an exporter of unprocessed raw natural resouces.
We cannot compete with America in terms of economies and scale, and financial resources, without our OWN protective tarriffs. We see that right off the get go, with Trump's approval of the Keystone Pipleline which ships unrefined oil to refineries in Texas. That will happen over and over, unless we find a leadership strong enough to put its foot down.
Justin is such a weakling, so berefit of vision and passion for Canada, that he does not realize the the Trump Presidency places an urgent imperative of Canada to protect and reintegrate its own industrial economy, and most immediately with respect to primary resource processing, which requires substantial government supported investment.
Trudeau is morally, intellectually and patriotically unfit to manage the challenge.. in fact he's too stupid too realize there is even a problem.

Unusual isn't it? Past US administrations watched jobs go overseas and shrugged their shoulders. It wasn't their job... it wasn't their kids jobs.
LMAOooooooo
I've heard that water threat for years now in here. You aren't going to do a thing but sell it to us if we want to buy it.
We're running out of water...Don't be foolish.

care has ZERO to do with it
he needs our markets and supply chain as well as raw materials too
as I said if the repatriated dollars do as the astute pundits have predicted
the US won't be able to buy up resources from higher value currencies
our dollar may end up doing better then it has but it will still stay near par at best
On economies of scale, BC can't compete with Ontario either. Interprovincial tariffs, anyone?
how about transfer payments to balance inter provincial trade instead
I think that's part of the job of a national government to figure that out
since votes come from all the provinces
Unless we bring industry back to Canada, all the jobs and wealth creation will go south. The U.S. does not need Canada's markets, and without an industrial base, unless we start making things again, starting with refined petroleum, steel, processed primary metals and lumber.. we won't be able to afford what America produces.
Clever boy, you got that one surrounded in a hurry. Get your cheque-book out.
Sure we'll pay as always. Just don't get foolish.
that would be globalism
nationalism - good
globalism - bad
i have been building for american money for years

You sound like you'd be a great partner!

Then I can do you one better than nationalism. Provincialism. Or how about localism?
