The "job killing" carbon tax.

This is bad news because low unemployment leads to shortages of workers and rising wages. Workers will end up with more money in their pockets and start spending more! Families wont have to eat pasta and tomatoe sauce seven days per week. Those f.....g liberal morons what are they thinking? This is going to be bad for businesses who need lower wage workers. This is a disaster. Canada is a third world country already and this will make it worse and its all Turdo's fault!

Hey you know absolutely everything that goes wrong is Turdo's fault. There can be no other explanation. I am moving to the USA where everything is bright and rosy. Trump is the the smartest most honest president ever and he tells the truth and talks just like an an average guy. He's a no bullshit kind and wants to bring China down while having american consumers pay for the extra import taxes on everything. Make America great. Trump was so successful he only lost $1 billion in ten years. Good thing daddy gave his self made son a few extra million to cover his losses.

Buffet loses a billion in a day in the stock market, gains it back, loses. Trump did the same. In the early 90s there was RE recession going on. The fact he survived at all is amazing. That's how business works. Its risk, but you wouldn't know that. There are ups and downs.

Leave it to Jazz to explain how losing a billion dollars is a sign of a successful business. Is Art of the Deal your favorite book? Lol

Trump is subject to the same market forces we are, interest rates, bubbles, govt policy, regulations and cyclical ups and downs. Would you call a farmer who ran into trouble and expanded just at the time when the market turned a failure?

Unlike you chuck, I respect people who take calculated risk to get ahead. That's capitalism. I took a loss on some condos a decade ago before I bought more farmland. I don't consider that a failure at all. The wrong decision at the wrong time.

Down here where I live , (Maple Creek) and only one hour from Medicine Hat Ab, things are quiet. VERY quiet. Machinery dealerships, one in particular , hasn't sold one new piece of equipment in a year. The other one is busy fixing stuff , but nothing hardly going out in new iron. Hardware , agro , etc. is quiet. If Stats Canada would publish real facts and figures for the west , maybe the country could wake up from it's brainwashing.

Same thing here 2 hours east of Yorkton. The hardware stores don’t need as many people working. I need needed a electrician and had one in two hours. I also had two very good people that should be working asking me if I had any work for them.
As Donald Trump once said “right now our biggest enemy is the news media”

David Rosenberg doesnt beleive it either. Says its all fickle youth employment, debt. Should have been a 4% GDP attached to it.

Well, it's not a real job if it isn't a union job......

Trump's economy might be half smoke and mirrors, but ours is all Care Bears.
One leader has a record of getting things done. The other hasn't ever done anything at all.
The truth in time might show in the tax rate. Let's see where ours has to go in comparison.

apple, microsoft market cap dropped over 100 billion each in a couple months then went back up. yah, these companies sure most not know what they are doing.

Don't confuse public companies share values that go up and down on the stock market that are required to report their profit and losses with Trump's privately held businesses where there is almost no information available. There is a reason he doesn't want to release his tax returns.

The 10 years of tax information the NY Times came up with showed that Trump lost a billion and then bragged about being a great businessman and then lied about his success in the his book "Art of the Deal". He has made a career out of show business and relied on daddy's money to prop him up. Without his daddy's money he would likely have been small potatoes. His book should have been called "Art of the Con"

But if these types of leaders impress you with their business savvy then I have got some swamp land in Florida for you!

When i file my taxes each year, i show as much profit as possible every year, just like every other small business.

Trump is so savvy that he went tits up on two, not one but two casinos. Now that takes real talent.

Took a million dollar inheritence, or 60M if you beleive the MSM and turned it into a 10B business empire. Doesnt sound bad to me regardless of a few hickups on the way.

Trump doesn't want to show his tax returns because he has used debt and leverage to make that business like all RE moguls do. He might have high debt to equity ratio right now. Who knows but to call him a failure is a mistake. Guy could have sat back with his inheritance and just partied around NY for the next 30yrs. Lots of casinos have come and gone in vegas before. Nothing new.
