Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.
Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.
I suppose Albertans in oil and gas should call Danielle and tell her to stop the clown tricks and join Team Canada now.
“Team Canada” is bogus crap. Interprovincial trade barriers mean the cult mantra of "Team Canada is a distraction tactic from blaming the Liberal party for any tariffs and loss of jobs in Canada.
I can’t imagine 12 of 13 premiers would agree on taking some of the heat off of any federal party, especially one that’s all but leaderless.
Is the federal party that you are saying is leaderless? Why do you say 12 out of 13? Who are you not counting, and why?
I’m sure you must know the answers already but clearly I’m replying to your comment and referring to the Liberals, the party whose leader has announced his resignation. And once again, it’s pretty clear Danielle Smith is the odd one out. She refused to sign off on the first ministers letter a couple weeks ago and every single other premier has been specifically quoted as supporting a team Canada approach, even Scott Moe.
Danielle Smith’s priority is making sure Canadians keep their jobs. Tariffs on Canadian imports results in layoffs of Canadians so they are out of work, out of a job.
I’m sure it is, but her approach is like when younger kids are playing sports (hockey, soccer, lacrosse) and there’s that one kid that refuses to play their position and just ends up chasing the ball. Sure, they’re all aiming for the same net, but that one kid can undermine the rest of the team’s strategy. At best the rogue kid leaves an opposing player wide open, at worst they steal the ball from their own teammate and shank it into the stands.
You are wrong, it’s the exact oposite. Smith’s priority is trying to work with the other side to build an agreement, and everybidy else is being a spaz and complaining “We want it our way or we’re not playing! Trump won’t do what we told him, he started ths fight!”
If Truseau won’t secure the border to block people crossing illegally in Anerica, Trump has a right to wreck Canada, damage Canadian businesses, and have thousands of people in Canada lose their jobs and be unemployed.
Trump never said Canadian shouldn’t accet immigrants, he’s only demanding that Canada block the border to America outside of a USCBP

If the US net exports oil, why does it need ours?

Don’t they have to rework their refineries in order to replace Canadian oil? Instead the refineries currently working with Canadian oil are specifically built to process dillbit, due to having been built to use Venezuelan dillbit originally.

Trump can go fuck himself!
“We’re going to be demanding respect from other nations,” Trump said.
Respect needs to be mutual. He sounds like the typical asshole uncle that always acts like they’re owed respect be have never showed any in return.
Then I guess Canada can just switch lumber production and construction standards over to metric now.
Make America Great Depression Again
“Felon who has had no need or interest in the price of oil, gas, vehicles or lumber makes statements about the necessity of oil, gas, vehicles, and lumber”
Fixed the headline
That’s the thing, Canada is mostly a raw materials exporter and the main importer is US industry.
It’d basically be like when China tried to “Wolf-warrior” Australia and ended up with coal, pork and grain shortages.
What a moron.
I mean we could just close the borders/ air travel a few days a week as a trial run to see how it goes. A trail separation if you will
Trump can ban Canadian imports to prove that he’s not bluffing
But we do need the Food that Canada grows and exports to the US. So fuck you trump you idiot. He bankrupted a CASINO!!!
I’d love to watch the US handle skyrocketing prices because they got rid of all the immigrants, then they got rid of Canadian lumber and oil, causing those prices to skyrocket as well.
Add to that the costs of the yet again border wall, costs of the immigration
death campsvacation parks with all the guards, legal shit and transportation, the tax cuts for the wealthy and the extra taxes for people who already can’t make it to the end of the month.So far, el cheeto is doing GREAT!
Something occurred to me while watching some news yesterday. It won’t take ICE raids removing people from farms for the effect to materialize. The fear from raids will cause people to stop showing up for work at the farms before that. That’s why I think we’ll see the effects on food prices quicker.
Absolutely, the results are already visible, and prices in the US keep rising.
People voted trump to make the inflation go down and he just started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and is about to start one with Europe
Seriously, by the time he’s gone, the US will be in shambles. Soft power will have evaporated, any good deals they had world wide will be gone, the US will likely never recover
He’s probably right wrt the USA needing our exports, as much as it sucks for us.
Maybe now we’ll actually diversify our industries and seek out new buyers.
Probably not though, since PP is gonna be in charge and that man baby only wants to double down on selling oil to the USA, and thats the entire extent of his economic plan. And by that I mean he is gonna throw money at oil companies and hope it magically turns into more sales to the USA.
What’s the opposite of diversify?Consolidation.
