TDS is growing in Canada and you thought it was bad before the mention of Tariffs
We haven’t seen the tit for tat retaliatory Tariffs details yet. I will continue to make my cross-border shopping trips to stock up on items we can’t buy here for various reasons. Lines at the border will likely thin out soon.
Trump is dismantling decades of insanity in the span of weeks. My thoughts are that he wants Canada to do the same. No one wants a crazy neighbour next door. The only method he has is what we are seeing now.
I welcome good changes. Will it hurt Canada? Sure. Will the US feel some pain back? Sure.
Imagine if Canada is forced to dismantle our bureaucracy at all levels. We would be more efficient and get things done.
There are industries in both countries that can’t survive without massive subsidies. That is why trade between countries is necessary. Only protect industries that are deemed of strategic interest.
I would prefer to have Canada remain sovereign unless it slips into Communism via the Globalists. Multiculturalism has destroyed many Western Nations. The 2015 UN Migration pact was never about assimilation or the melting pot of the past but the destruction of Western Civilization.
The short-term pain may not appear to be good but if we come out the other side intact without all the insane policies we have experienced for decades by both parties, I say let the games begin.
Canadians can protect their purchasing power by moving a percentage of their wealth to Au and Ag. Realizing that the value will fluctuate as the paper games die. You can ride it out. Unemployment could rise from here and I understand the threat to many protected jobs.
The WEF coalition would love nothing better than to wrap themselves in a cloak of fake patriotism, and blame Trump for their poor border controls, which lets drugs and terrorist cross with impunity, and lead to these tariffs.
Rather than talk about the issues that Trump raises, the WEF puppets would rather confront him, and any damage to Canada just helps WEF in its planned destruction of Canada, in line with their Agenda 2030.
Too many suffering from TDS will just lap it up!
We need an election NOW!
Yesterday Trump clarified his tariffs for Canada as “starting with 25% and they could move higher”. He has also stated the option that Canada is welcome as the 51st US state. It seems logical that DJT perceives he has given Canada generous carrot vs stick alternatives.
We are ALREADY witnessing actions being applied to those his administration perceives to have “done wrong” over the years. Essentially he is freezing them out of the process (ie: 51 intelligence officers that signed the note).
Canada should expect that any knee jerk response to tariffs via a tit-for-tat action will simply bring the stick down hard.
Canada is a “fly on the elephants ass” and the new administration has bigger battles ahead of it than dealing with Canada. They may simply decide to squash the fly and move on to more important items. Should they decide to close the border and/or impose 100% duties — well that would do the trick.
Note that the Liberal/NDP coalition in Ottawa (pro-WEF & UN & IMF one-world government) may actually prefer to see Canada destroyed in order to meet WEF/UN/IMF/BIS objectives. Without an election, they retain the governing power to accomplish such an outcome by HOW they choose to respond to this crisis.
Oops we made a mistake – not our fault – we thought threatening DJT with a bad name would fix the problem – how did we know he would just close the border – type of mistake.
Excellent thread. Columbia’s analysis was his usual insightful balance and both comments were spot on. Well done all. It will be quite interesting how it plays out.(Mexico’s reaction as well)
Yup. Trump at heart is a visionary.
You have to be if you want to be a successful real estate developer.
And now he shows us they are transferable skills.
Sharp elbows were necessary to work the land deals and keep construction teams from getting you rolled.
Those are absolutely the right skills for this age.
Think big and act proactively, putting your adversaries ON THEIR HEELS.
As opposed to the HEELS UP posturing we would have had.
