Trudeau sends a message, or three, on Asian summit tour

[Cannuck]

believe what you wrote here? Tariffs are to spur domestic product sales,

I didn't believe that 30 years ago when Ed Broadbent and the Dippers made that claim. history as proven him and you wrong.

Free trade is good, regardless of what Broadbent, Trump and the rest of the socialists think

Australia is little bit under Asia.

Only the one on top is queer.

Do you really believe what you wrote here? Tariffs are to spur domestic product sales, by making foreign cheap crap harder to dump into the local market place by raising their costs to the approx. same price as domestic product. In this way the shopper decides on quality and loyalty over price, of course you knew that and were just playing silly bugger right.

The revenue from the Tariffs of course are put into the general revenue of the government like all other taxes.

As far as Trudeau goes he hasn't got a clue what is right for Canadians in the market place until somebody tells him what he needs to do and why he needs to do it.

Cannuk thinks a conservative is someone that saves cigarette buts for later.

So before this became a thing about Trump how were all the other tariffs bothering you?

Tarrifs are taxes. We don't need more tax. We need to cut spending

nafta?

Yes they are and yes we do, but tariffs are put into place to help protect our products and resources but you knew that from the post earlier didn't you?

nafta?

So then you were OK with the Egg, Beef, Dairy, Pork, Gasoline, etc. and the many manufacturing tariffs that were in place for NAFTA? When you order products from the States and you pay duty on them do you know what that is called? I'll give you a hint it starts with T

 

[Hoid]

I am fine with tariffs.

merely pointing out that it is the consumer who pays them.

 

[Angstrom]

That Cannuck, what a classic fruit cake.

Yep meant to make the consumer make a conscious decision about the product and not an unconscious decision over the price

If that ever worked there would be no Walmart

Why not Walmart reduces the profit margin and makes up the profit over volume compared to the smaller retailer that must maintain the profit margin to be viable because he can't make up for it over volume.

 

[Hoid]

Everything Walmart sells is chinese at best. Everything the West runs on is made cheap somewhere poor. It seems sort of pointless to protect washing machines but not everything else.

 

[Cannuck]

.. protect our products..

Our products? Which company do we own?

Is that all you can poke out of all that pffft OK

 

[Curious Cdn]

That would be the america that drove japan to war by cutting off their oil and who also lied about pearl harbor?

Next the US will be saving them from Iran

Yeah, those poor Japanese didn't start building multiple carrier fleets, each with the ability to land tens of thousands of troops a day until the very last second. It was a spontaneous decision.

 

[Cannuck]

You can't answer the question?

Look, it's really not a difficult concept to grasp. Since NAFTA was signed, manufacturing output has doubled in the US. Clearly tarrifs are not required to protect the manufacturing industry....only inefficient companies. If you want to protect "our products", you'll have to explain to me which ones are ours. I may rather get rid of them if they are so poor they need protection

Junior can't hear you, what's a few more $billion in public debt for fat cat libs? Spending cut...don't hold your breath the trudough clan know only one fiscal term.. spend.

Spending $6mil for a sheet of ottawa ice hasta to be one of the dumbest spending urges junior & co. ever cooked up. A world famous sheet of ice is steps away and much, much less expensive... but hey it's only money.

 

[Angstrom]

There will be a 800 people stadium with it. So the winter classic game will make money

It will recovers costs.

 

[Cannuck]

Junior can't hear you,

At least he has an excuse then, unlike Trumpites
