    The Tarriff Hype.

    Are you capable of answering a question without just throwing out vague questions? I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m just swimming in so much other stuff at the moment that without an answer I’ll have to come back to this in eight or 10 hours.

    Large shipments of Canada-bound meth and cocaine worth nearly $3 million were seized at the Alberta border on two different days back in December and January. http://apple.news/AEoLaPbVMRWWesZfL6pzmwg

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    The U.S. sided with Russia and China to win the United Nations Security Council’s backing for a resolution crafted in Washington that didn’t blame Moscow for the Ukraine war and called for a swift end to the conflict, as President Trump said he was in talks with Russia about an...

    Fentanyl

    http://www.ckom.com/2025/02/25/sask-cracks-down-on-fentanyl-traffickers-with-1m-fine/ Can you imagine how much methamphetamine and fentanyl these criminals would have to further sell in order to pay their fines?😳 The new measures also include policies that would cancel provincial licences for...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    I think that was one of the news stories yesterday. Joly, who people look at, but don’t listen to, was cited as saying so much. Joly said Canadians have received positive feedback from American officials about efforts at the border. She noted the U.S. is a net exporter of guns, migrants and...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    So, English Lib leadership “debate…” The Tuesday debate was largely polite and respectful, but Mr. Carney was challenged (?) when he said he would not immediately boost defence spending to 2 per cent of GDP, and for his sharp criticism of the Trudeau government’s economic management.😳 Ms. Gould...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    So, you don’t want Carney as your PM? Neither do I. I also don’t want Trump dictating Canadian policy either.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The White House has clarified (???) that North America-wide tariffs are not a done deal, as many news headlines suggested following remarks Monday by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had been asked Monday whether he's proceeding with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, currently paused until March...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Trump is the American President, not the Canadian President. Doesn’t that irk you somewhat?

    Trump 2.0

    …& the other way too, but not right across the board on everything. Softwood lumber today, not after the 25% incoming, is already tariffed from Canada to America at 14%, so add another 25% & that’s 39%. If 25% across the board on Canadian goods comes into effect on March 4th, then on March 12th...

    Trump 2.0

    As an oil exporting nation, assuming you where not in the screwed position Canada is in…so like some other oil exporting nation, with multiple customers and access to them other than through America for the most part…would you rather drop your price 5% and sell your oil elsewhere, or be at the...

    Fentanyl

    Cold as that sounds, that might be part of the answer.

    Perhaps you could share this knowledge that Smith (& I’m assuming yourself) know with others because, frankly, I’m tired. Hell, the Newfoundland Premier could’ve been let in on this secret before he resigned today over this bullshit & crazy shifting goalposts. It’s becoming clear this was never...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    Ugh…ok…who…who was trying to use triassic to cretaceous image to denote modern flooding from climate change, as opposed to humour with respect to… Key words being “some ocean-front property in Alberta” if you believe his bullshit. Maybe I should’ve stuck to a less Canadian cliché like “buy the...

    Discount their units 10% & flood them into the American market, or try to, to compensate for Canada being about 10%-15% of the current North American market for these items….or scale back production by “at least” 10% across the board, or some combination of the two? Canada reciprocating on...

    But, if tariffed at whatever percentage you wish to throw at it as an import tariff, the importer has to pay the tariff at the time of crossing, or it doesn’t cross. It’s not like it has no effect on anyone, & that importer has the pass that cost onto someone, like his customers, & he might...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    That makes no sense whatsoever, and weirdly there are fossilized sea life at the top of Mount Everest, and it didn’t get there because of carbon taxes or what have you. Elevations change, & I’m not even pretending to know more than I do, which is just the tip of a knowledge iceberg, but nothing...

    I’m also involved in cross border trade (the transport of such) to some extent. I’m in touch with customs Brokers on a regular basis also, and they don’t know what the hell is going on either, and all they know is that if/when reciprocal tariffs happen from Canada, CBSA & Canadian customs...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    I know this is totally a sidetracked from this thread, but North America has had a seaway across it several different times, and the Canadian shield going east to west (more or less) across Canada was once a mountain range. Just throwing that out there. is there one of these that you like more...

    I’ve been working my arse off beyond what I normally do which is working my arse off, for weeks & weeks, & I’m freaking tired. You may not be worried, but there’s many many that are.
