“I expect that ask to be coming.” – Scott Moe is asked by David Cochrane “Does that comment you just made mean that the federal government has asked some premiers to remove their booze bans
Related: What’s most interesting are the things he has exempted: potash, energy, critical minerals.
Of course we aren’t going to tariff potash, energy, and critical minerals. That would be cutting our noses off to spite our face, and in more ways than one if you really think about it.
But we can tariff other things, and again for more reasons than one or two if you think about it.
Potash, and energy, come from the two provinces that aren’t totally cracked like the rest. Critical minerals? Good luck getting those with the earth firsters and here firsters in the way.
“What’s most interesting are the things he has exempted: potash, energy, critical minerals.”
You mean, almost as if this is all bullsh1t and flag-waving, and making the #Lieberals look like imbeciles?
Yeah. Kinda.
It’s a little bit more than that. It is however making your government look inept to say the least, yes.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Canada pushed America away.
Idiot King opened the Borders, promoted depravity – islam & trans.
Idiot King lied to the World about a Septic Field and Shamed Old Stock Canadians with a LIE about Genocide.
SNC, Truckers, illegal Emergency Act…
Fat BlubberDuggie needs to keep yapping about President Trump, it will destroy us faster.
I hate this Place.
How many Canadians are employed by their respective industries and in what provinces are they the majority — both new tariffs and non-tariffed? Overlay that with the national and provincial unemployment rates, and what information do you get?
What affects are the wild fires potentially having on the timber industry, might as well throw that in there too, and what province(s) are potentially most affected? I bring this up because the fires have become an issue within U.S.-Canada negotiations (if they actually happen, maybe, eventually).
“What affects are the wild fires potentially having on the timber industry,…”
It’s actually the shutting down of the timber industry that has increased the risk of forest fires. I can name several sawmills and at least 20 pulp/paper mills that have shut down forever in the last 30 years here in Canada, none of them tariff related.
The lack of logging in the related forest lands over the past 30 years has allowed trees that would have been harvested to now be the mature fuel for the natural forest renewal cycle of fire.
Thank you!
And of course, we’re going to use it — why shouldn’t we?
Here in Canada the earth firsters and here firsters won’t let us use the resources that make civilized life possible and worthwhile.
Does Canada still clear cut mountain tops? TBH … that doesn’t LOOK like “forest management”? Is that just a relic of the 1970’s and earlier … when I witnessed the practice up close and personal in BC? Has the timber industry changed its ways?
“Has the timber industry changed its ways?”
Yes. It’s less than half the size it used to be, for one thing. For another they’re not allowed to pursue proven forest management and fire mitigation, because its “bad for the environment.”
So instead it all burns every summer. I’d say more, but now we have laws where you get in trouble for stuff like that. Pretty soon I may be forced down to only a word or two.
139 closures in Ontario happened during the 2003-2009 period, but somehow that’s Trump’s fault
It’s impossible to explain economics or second order consequences to a liberal.
If can get them to understand either they cease to be liberals.
“It’s impossible to explain economics or second order consequences to a liberal.”
I’ve found over the years that it is very, very hard to explain things to a guy whose paycheck depends on not understanding them.
They actually know all that stuff, Stan. Kinda makes it worse, really. Deliberate sabotage vs. mere stupidity, right?
” …to camp out those three individuals that I had mentioned, Janice Charette, Ambassador Wiseman and Dominic LeBlanc, to essentially camp out in Washington, D.C. ”
If you wanted to do everyone a favour, you’d camp the fuggers out on Ellesmere Island.
Well said!
CAGE
Here’s an idea then! Canada should simply Jack up the price of energy, potash, and critical minerals.
And send US suppliers looking elsewhere for better deals. Not to mention jump-starting and expanding our own natural material exploration and exploitation. Basic marketplace behavior.
How long have you had that wire in the PMO? 🙂
We’re already doing that with S. America and Africa; plus that lifting of sanctions on Belarus.
Fun fact, there is no ban on American booze. The provinces just elected to stop buying from the US.
I have to say though, I’m surprised so many on this site are enjoying getting bullied. I understand not liking Carnage, welcome to the club, but why are you so keen to cut off your nose to spite your face?
I live in the Arsehole of the Universe – the GTA. I’m surrounded by otherwise reasonably bright people who are absolutely pig-f*cking ret*rded when it comes to economics, politics, or basic moral philosophy. They’ve outsourced all their thinking to the TV. And they vote. That’s why we’ve had fifteen years of Liberals looting the treasury right in front of our faces without any consequences – and then kicking us in our faces when we try to protest. Again, without any consequences.
I can’t speak for the other commentators, but I and many of my compatriots have reached the point of despair. This country cannot be fixed from within. We have passed the point Yuri Bezmenov described as irreparable demoralization. As Bezmenov put it:
We’re cheering on Trump because Trump is the closest thing we have to that military boot. He’s the only thing that might finally shake this ridiculous little country out of its smug complacency and force people to look at what’s actually going on. You can’t eat smug. You can’t build a roof out of smug. You can’t block a junkie or a Mohammedan’s knife with smug. The worse things get in Canada, and the more we see how much better things are in the US, and why they’re better in the US, the more likely it is that we can start to fix our own problems again.
The Americans understood this thirteen years ago.
I really detest what’s going on right now. Americans are my family and my friends. But all I see is ideological capture on Both sides of the border. The Americans are on a downward slide and have to make hard choices in order to get out of it but they won’t do it. The Canadian government is captured by CCP and lets everything fall apart for their 30 pieces of silver. The US and Canada should be working hard for a win-win and instead they’re caught in a tit for tat trade war so a few elites can profit off the common man’s misery.
“…instead they’re caught in a tit for tat trade war…”
Yes. Now, instead of mere detestation, how about you THINK for a second? Hmm?
1) Who -benefits- from a trade ware between the USA and Canada? Somebody is making money here. Who?
2) What would it take to convince the leadership of a Western nation to behave so foolishly? A house painter can see this is all rank stupidity, how much more can an international banker see it? So what skeleton is banging on the door of whose closet?
3) Trump revealed that the USA 2020 election was stolen by Chinese interference. Does anyone think they might have been doing the same thing here, except more, faster and better?
4) Just a reminder, what country owns the biggest antimony mine in N. America, which is in Canada? Oh, and closed that mine by the way, during a shootin’ war. Google is your friend.
These are but a few of the questions I have.
Just elected to stop buying – ha ha Dougie and David are the senior leadership of their provinces. Transparent conspiracy.
“…why are you so keen to cut off your nose to spite your face?”
Because nothing we have said or done for 30 years has moved the needle. The slow, inexorable slide into the toilet continues. Do you know how much money is fleeing this country every week? It’s a lot.
Every time #Donny kicks #TheLieberals in the b@lls, that’s a good thing. Canada isn’t sliding sideways into d1ctatorship because of tariffs.
