Basically, Canada needs US markets a lot more than they need our markets, or anyone else’s for that matter.
Beaudry contrasted Canada’s dependence on global trade — roughly 40 per cent of the economy — with the U.S.’s much lower reliance at about 15 per cent. That difference, he said, helps explain why Washington can afford to use tariffs as a political and fiscal tool without triggering the same level of economic disruption seen elsewhere.
We’re in for a multi-year recession.
Yep, can’t spend our way out
Carney’s going to try.
I would argue we spent our way into recession.
Nah … you’re just “transitioning” to a ‘clean, green, sustainable, economy. Ohhh sure … there may be a little economic pain during the transition … but eventually … Canada will be powered without a speck of fossil fuels and you will all live happy, long, disease-free lives whilst holding hands with your multi-culti neighbors singing songs to Gaia. Your green future awaits … when EVERY Canadian respects mother turtle as religiously as the FN.

If you remove increased government spending in the last decade when were we not in a recession?
Exactly. The fckers printed money and brought in 5 million dummies to make it seem like the GDP was rising.
” The fckers printed money and brought in 5 million dummies to make it seem like the GDP was rising.”
Plus they continued to calculate Canada’s GDP differently than every other country does, in a vain effort to make us look less poor than we really are.
Yeah but uber-moron Carney and his Librano$ are convinced we’re just gonna pull ourselves by our own suspenders and just be magically better.
Why Carney won’t go to the negotiating table is beyond me. But he does seem hellbent on committing murder-suicide like every other country dumb enough to vote a leftwing government into power.
Simple. He wants Canada’s downfall to be pinned on trump instead of Liberal globalist policies.
“Simple. He wants Canada’s downfall to be pinned on trump instead of Liberal globalist policies.”
Absolutely, Jamie. That’s what the whole “Elbows UP!” scam was all about, wasn’t it? Generating a wave of faux-patriotism to suck the most gullible Canadians into voting Liberal once again, while at the same time *daring* the other parties to oppose them? I wish I could say I was disappointed that Pierre Poilievre fell for it so easily, but my expectations for him were so low anyway that it barely mattered to me when he did.
When reality,such as cold hard numbers,imposes itself upon Liberal Delusions,tantrums shall occur.
“Elbows Up”.
“Orangeman Badd!”
What “negotiating strengths” does Can Ahh Duh actually have?
Trade is supposed to be mutually beneficial.
Both sides gaining something from the exercise.
Otherwise why bother?
President Trump has stated that he believes the USA does not benefit from trade with Canada.
Or at least does not see enough benefit to justify the costs..
And then there was Justine and his minions,such pathetic entitled nitwits..enough to turn even a hardened businessman’s stomach.
And under Little Lord Carney,that very same attitude continues.
Somehow Canadians seem to believe that we are so much so superior to our American cousins, an attitude for which there is no evidence and no good explanation..Spite and Envy being Ottawa’s speciality.
Common interest and shared values will prevail.
This is why WEXIT will happen.
Money talks,past results remain,new evidence is at hand.
We know now that we have no rights nor freedoms in Canada.
And that we never did,all we had were pretty lies.
We know the stealing from Ottawa will never stop.
We know the demographics guarantee continued impoverishment for those who choose to work in Canada.
There is no future in the status quo.
And our Dear Leaders,their paid mouthpieces and our idiot but intellectuals all deny what is real, of the current reality.
That being the North South nature of our trade routes and our overwhelming dependency upon the US market.
Western Separation amounts to taking out the middleman,who has demonstrated a blatant hostility and willingness to obstruct the very trade that makes us all richer.
Why are we paying these Destructive Parasites a commission for work they contribute nothing to?
Carney will cozy up to Communist China to find a way around trade negotiations.
Here are just some historic tariffs Canada hits America with.
Milk: 270%

The Americans need us to become a responsible, mature country, and disempower the mewling quims and nutless cowards who have turned the place into a Shithole.
PM Chretien said in an interview that he foresaw ALL Canadians working in offices.
He also said that once all farmland was lost to office buildings and apartments, Canada would become a net importer of food.
Yes, and he also drooled all over his shoes. Life is too short to pay any attention to Chretien.
