Trudeau sends a message, or three, on Asian summit tour - Politics - CBC News

Trudeau scuttles TPP because it didn't go his way. Way to isolate Canada!

Insulate stupid.

I don't think that the Philippinos are going to be inviting them back, any time soon. Sophie better not need a nanny.

He did say something but all again geared to promote his bid for a seat on the un security council, this goal has preoccupied him leaving scant focus time for trade deals. Still it was not nice duterte gave him what for over critizing how he deals with drug thugs and how we dump our garbage, duterte is clearly not in the hug a thug world of justins'. Not a good trip for justin with his host scolding him and un honchos learning of canada using the world as our dump.

Australia is little bit under Asia.

Australia lives or dies depending on what time happens in Asia.

Someday, a jealous Asian country will try to invade Australia, again. It almost happened in 1942 and the appearance on the American army there, back then may have been all that stopped Australia from literally becoming Asian.

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

Socialists like Trudeau and Trump don't like free trade. Tarrifs generate dollars for their pet programs.

Trudeau at least gets to pretend he likes free enterprise and this in turn allows his fans like Flossy to pretend for a while that they are also free enterprisers.

Trumpites? They're really too stupid to know what they believe in other than dark people are bad

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.
