Patently untrue - look at the historical West Texas Intermediate data and tell me how Notley or Trudeau caused the price drop of oil.

Find a graph for Canadian priced crude

Why? this one clearly shows there was a global downturn in oil prices that was nothing to do with Notley or Trudeau which was the point of my post.

Furrow. As silly as Trudeau looked.
You can not blame him for India's
Tariffs. The Aussie got hit with them too.
And I think for while a special tariff , when the
First one did not stop the Aussie shipments.

There. Are lots of legitimate gripes about all politicians.
Let's worry about them.

There is now debate about whether the U.S. Federal Reserve should utilize negative interest rates in the next economic downturn. Chances appear to be increasing the Fed may actually begin cutting rates within the year.

But Bank of Canada rhetoric suggests the Cdn economy is growing and strong enough to absorb further rate hikes.

Oh how the cookie crumbles . . . .

Trudeau legalized the bail in last year. When zero percent rates aren't enough to save the too big too fails pucker up savers.

It will be a matter of time before our canola market gets thrown under the bus from the Chinese.

I am 60% sold on canola, trying to deliver this month.

On March 1, Canada has to decide whether to turn over meng or not. next up they have to decide whether or not to ban Huawei which members of the security group 5 eyes have recommended. Think we are going to piss off our number one trading partner the US. Our china trade is 10% of what goes through the US.

China WILL retaliate. Maybe time to send that expensive seed back. 90% of our canola goes to china.

China has to have a deal with the US so it will sc**** up the last few uncommitted $USD to buy US products in order to make that happen. Therefore it will not have any spare $USD to buy commodities from anyone else. Remember there are $40T worth of mainly $USD denominated debt in China and servicing those loans will take a lot of spare change. I hope the US maintains a tariff on Chinese products so that they have the money to service their own treasuries. A tariff is much preferable to domestic taxation as those Chinese exports have no other home than the US market. China is only about 30% of the canola market but making canola sales now likely a good idea.
