Between the threat of Tarrifs and this fifty first state that is being tossed around...... the CDA USA relationshiop has changed , and what used to be a friendly , cooperative situation is gone. The Trump USA cannot be trusted. (by anyone on the planet ). He is not only changing America into something unknown as yet.............but is changing various parts of the world .........(again......with threats , revenge and instability. He is breaking laws and could care less as he believes he is now entitled to do as he wishes. Let's not forget that a lot of his behavior and decisions are part of his "Retribution " tour. There are a lot of people , agencies and countries on his "hit list" He and Musk are two vile men that now have far too much power ...... and we are seeing the direction things seem to be going. (consolidating power and increasing wealth He and Musk are the constitution's nightmare.

Fixing the problems several decades of left leaning governments have forced on us. Face it, if turdOWE and his ilk had not done so much damage to Canada, we would not be in this position. We are now about like Greece is in the EU.

I've specified some good things he's done. You respond with dull-witted whataboutery, and can't be bothered to even argue whether or not what he has done is good or not.

Thanks. Now I know how much attention to pay to your contributions.

The current government has de facto cancelled two pipelines and a dozen oil sands and LNG projects, and increase the red tape preventing not only the other others from being approved, but from even being considered

Canada remains at the mercy of the U.S., a customer that receives a discount as a result because we have limited capacity to sell to anyone else…& though very valuable, this is just one industry and one export commodity.

If there are proponents for new pipelines that would reduce that dependency, their approval should be guaranteed and fast-tracked in the national interest.

China (in reaction to Trumps threats) further tightened export controls on its critical minerals, as part of its retaliation to the 10-per-cent tariffs Trump announced last Saturday. As the U.S. Geological Survey’s mineral summary for 2024 illustrated, the U.S. is reliant on imports for more than half of the 50 or so non-fuel minerals it needs for its industry. China is the main source for 24 of those; Canada for 23.

Despite Trump’s protestations that America doesn’t need anything from Canada, his administration has clearly identified this country as a strategically important asset that should be acquired by hook or crook or economic leveraging.

Uhm…25% tariffs on all Canadian products except energy related at 10%, that’s currently on a ticking clock reprieve for a few more weeks, or not, depending on whatever Trump pulls out’a his hat next for grievances? Those kind of threats? Or those tariff threats aren’t threats?

You may think they aren’t going to happen, but I’m scrambling like many many others to get things done ahead of the next Trump deadline unless that goalpost moves again…over maybe border issues, or maybe NAFTA pre-negotiations, or maybe something else that hasn’t been thought up yet…& it’s a huge amount of extra effort including several hours this morning so far.

We all have problems. Is the EU a Canadian problem like Trump is currently? Are the Brics currently a problem directly for Canada like Trump has made himself? These are two separate questions.

Why scramble? Anything ordered before imaginary tariffs is exempt.

EU is getting Trump and BRICS threats too. It's not good for the Euro if somebody were to jump ship and go BRICS is it?

By any chance are we as part NATO and outside of NATO involved in war or proxy war against any BRICS nations? Is there any threat of any other BRICS nations getting violent?

Do we have the capacity to protect ourselves?

China? The C in BRICS....

The BRICS that make up OPEC who have control of the price of our oil. The price of oil is the value of our dollar.

We’ve currently got about 8 dealerships that don’t wanna take that risk, and I want all of their inventory up immediately…where others have cancelled their orders on a wait and see what happens sort of thing.

Trudeau’s round two (that was announced to come in February 21 in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs from February 4) specifically mentioned RV’s & it reads like at the point (time) of import, not time of purchase, or time of finance…if it crossed the border on or after Feb 21st etc…

Well, I’ve been reading about the Trump threats against the EU this last week.

Yes, the R in BRICS is currently invading Ukraine, & the C in BRICS is currently retaliating against Trump tariffs.

Is it? It’s not good for Canada for its supposedly closest ally to have its head of state behave like he has for the last couple weeks…which is the bigger threat currently, to Canada?

Physically violent? Economically violent?

Yes physically violent. We are in on fighting Iran through Yemen. 2 more BRICS nations attacking international freight and israel.

You won't have any worry after an elction is called. It will be ASAP. Then you'll get insane busy when the oil boom starts immediately after.

Huh…how about that. Iran isn’t just a scapegoat then? The alignment of Iran & Russia & China (& North Korea) on the whole current Middle East goat rodeo isn’t just the appearance of a coincidence then?

So you’re saying, in NATO vs the BRICS, that what’s happening to Israel is a bad thing then (?) and the Russian/Israel correlation you keep trying to draw…well, that’s for a different thread. Anyway…

I’m thinking that someone (perhaps NATO?) needs to remind America’s current leader who his allies actually are if he really thinks the threat is the BRICS…& trying to squish the economies of his allies it’s probably not great policy. Is that NATO’s job (?) or that of his own administration?

Yes, Canada needs to step up to the plate with respect to its military and defence capabilities…& yes, America economically, threatening (& it’s not over) it’s closest physically connected & in turn largest natural trading partners & allies is probably borderline diplomatically retarded, & will not end well for anybody, including America. If Trump for America is harming its closest trading partners (outside of the BRICS nations), then it’s probably a bad thing for NATO & a great thing for the BRICS then?

I need someone to direct my thoughts towards the obvious? Why? Should I let myself be gas lit the way you've been gaslit by media to freak out over tariffs that were settled Dec 17? How's that working out for ya?

Do you know why domestic media isn't covering the BRICS threat and dollar crash? They'd have to support what Trump is doing.

Right now, everything hinges on Saudi Arabia and what to do about Iran and Israel/Palestine.

Trump can't tariff or sanction Saudi Arabia or stop them from driving the price of oil to $20 completely killing "drill baby drill" and the US oil export cash machine.

US has zero control on the price of oil.

. . . One Republican president later, high-level members of the Trump administration and allies of the president are leveling attacks on religious groups, including Catholics and Lutherans, who do the same work Bush praised, questioning their efforts to help migrants. These attacks may signal a new political approach toward religion, some experts say, one comfortable belittling faith groups — despite President Donald Trump’s self-described brand as a champion of Christians. More broadly, it has aligned some Republicans against religious groups that in some cases propelled their rise to power, Trump’s included.

Several religious groups working overseas say they are facing a cash crisis after the Trump administration ended funding for programs to resettle refugees from around the world in the United States. World Relief, the country’s largest evangelical refugee resettlement program, told its members in an email Wednesday that it is facing “an urgent $8 million funding gap.” The group said the funding lapse would immediately impact 4,000 refugees it works with.

. . .

On Sunday, on the social media site X, right-wing Trump ally Mike Flynn accused Lutheran organizations that receive federal grants to help the needy of committing “money laundering.” Flynn put quote marks around the word “Lutheran” — one of America’s largest Protestant groups — in the post.
Billionaire Elon Musk’s then shared Flynn’s post, calling “illegal” multiple Lutheran organizations that work in the United States to provide health care to homeless people, run food pantries, and help migrants and refugees. “The @DOGE team is rapidly shutting down these illegal payments,” Musk said, referring to his U.S. DOGE Service, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency.

I approve. Government money should not be going to religious organizations.
