Talking about trade.....

[errolanderson]

Commodities are under pressure from Trump tariff threats. Will the timetable be pushed forward again? The heat is also clearly on the U.S. Global retaliation and White House spat blowback likely shocking the administration.

Apparently, US losing global contracts everywhere. Now American economy tanking rapidly. World trade quickly realigning. What comes, goes around in world trade . . . .

They elected a grifter that went bankrupt 6 times because he was such an astute deal maker. Why should they be surprised if he bankrupts a country? Warren Buffet said tariffs are an act of war. So is the U.S. at war with its trading partners?

Actually the US benefits from tariffs because there are no other markets. We have been trying to export beef into Europe for the past 30 years. How is that going? This is why every body is losing their minds over the tariff. Producers will pay 80% of the tariffs in this case. The tariffs will not significantly effect US exports as they are already the supplier of last resort. Nobody buys American if there is any other supplier so how can there be any actual global retaliation? What does the US export? Heavy machinery that is not produced anywhere else. If you want a combine you buy US or Europe. Buying from Europe because you don't like US tariffs: well when does anywhere in Europe import anything from canuckistan?

Trying to trade with the EU makes the US look like a trip to Disneyland.

Buffet started out with nothing, and is now the 6th richest person in the world, while Trump along with the 6 bankrupties has also squandered the $413 million that daddy left him.

Now Putin's loans keep Trumps' casinos afloat.

Trump's the best example of a socialist.

But there are many on Agriville waiting with "open arms" wanting to be the 51st state and Trump the socialist to be their POTUS.

Musk is reportedly the richest man in the world.
Made his money on innovation and extreme efficiency.
Also stated with nothing.
Mother was born in Regina.
Putin may be richest but has to hide it.

Musk makes rockets that deliver for 30x less money.

The first thing the EU will require is the end of supply management. That will cost Canadian taxpayers a fortune to "compensate" tbe industry.

Then consider the intentionally onerous environmental hoops we will have to jump through.

The EU is a net food exporter. Farmers won't be exporting much to the EU.

M....

Just to be precise, the rocket that claims to be 30x cheaper is still in development and hasn't delivered a single kilogram of payload to orbit yet.
This thing may be another Full Self Driving/Hyperloop fever dream, or it might actually come true. Time will tell.

That's totally correct...dreamers

The precedent had been set for the end of federally mandated agriculture programs back in the 1990s.

The government's compensation to prairie grain growers for the end of the Crow Rate certainly didn't cost Canadian taxpayers a fortune. A one time payment of $1.6B to replace a reoccurring annual payment of $0.72B ended the whole program.

Offer supply management 2X the difference in wholesale prices between Canadian and world prices for their annual production and call it a day. Heck, let them have 3X to be charitable.
