Talking about trade.....

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Have you ever been more depressed about having the wrong person for the job as today when Trudeau is negotiating on our behalf?

I wonder if Trump will ask if there are any adults in the house he can speak to instead, then just tell him to put Danielle Smith on the phone.

I will almost guarantee that Canada won't get to the concessions that Mexico got. Trump Liberty promised that if we retaliate with counter tariffs he will increase the tariffs. So what did we do?

Trudeau will not negotiate or back down. He wants utter turmoil, then he can stay planted on the throne - and maybe a convoy is the way to wake up this country again. Trump wants a true ally, not some petulant child over here pandering to terrorists, illegal immigrants and drug smugglers not to leave out Chinese gangs. Trump wants this mess cleaned up - and we should too.

Today is the day to see who blinks first

I don't expect anything good to come from Trudeau negotiating with Trump.

He has to go.

I’m of the opinion a retaliatory response is warranted. Mexico has a real problem with cartels running roughshod through northern Mexico and not stopping influxes of migrants. Otherwise Trump going after Canada for same reasons is preposterous but he holds the hammer. Funny how he crafted the need for tariffs as a matter of national security. Otherwise house and senate needs to agree on it. We bitch here about Trudeau using pmo powers to be a dictator but this ashat doing it in plain view with his soft brains repeating it’s a border issue. Trump has 100 days to create as much chaos taking out any one or institution which tried to indite him previously.

Clamp down on the border and stop the drugs, why is it so hard to commit to. Be a good leader and a good neighbour. Should have been done a decade ago.

The Art of the Deal.
It was to gain attention for him at home and for the issues abroad.

Mexican National Guard patrolling the border overdue. We don't have the manpower to crackdown on a toilet seat let alone verify port traffic.

We shall see what changes in Vancouver. I'm not optimistic.

Stolen vehicles are in an eastbound container and on the water in days.
We'll see.....
No Starlink? That's a laugh.
Stop smuggling heck they couldn't even ban the First Nations SKS rifles.
Get tough on the Triads?

Attention to these matters is a good thing. Unfortunately we focused on TDS. And political brownie points at home.
Nothing much will change here I'm afraid. Joe Public on both sides of border seem to be generally uninformed. Prone to agitation by these antics.

But it will be an interesting USMCA round.

Our guys stood strong and got us another month of this.

I have this feeling no one in Ottawa has read any of DT's books.
That or their Dumb and Dumber act is for our votes.
I read JT's and I called that turd.
I bet Doug Ford's Chicago business doesn't hurt his feelings.

Don't let your guard down, this resembles domestic violence. After alot of threats of getting a beating and it doesn't happen.... the honeymoon is back on! Until the next tirade, and the next and the next.... until someone gets hurt.

Absolutely dysfunctional!

We're supposed to be grateful now!
Until the next deadline...
