Donald's 25% tarrif threat! Merry Christmas!

[chuckChuck]

Geez thanks for the early Christmas president Donald!

Nothing like threatening a 25% tariff on everything, just to cheer up your biggest trading partners.

It's not like Donald was ever able to stop all the drugs and illegals coming into the USA, let alone stop all the criminals and drugs going from the US into your trading partners!

But Donald the dumpster fire makes policies on his smart phone and sends them out on social media willy nilly.

Welcome to the next 4 years of misery for businesses including farmers who will watch as businesses pull back investment and prices for commodities fall based on threats and implementation of bully tariffs on a whim!

I hope some of you Trump supporters are having second thoughts about Trump?

Donald is going to cost you a lot of money, but that's just too bad. Because America comes first don't you know!

Just like Donald comes first! Nothing else matters to Donald.

Having second thoughts Crop?

And why do you spend so much time here if it is just for kids Crop? LOL

[biglentil]

Trump stated until Pierre is elected. It's called tough love.

[chuckChuck]

Trump is interfering in our politics then?

I thought he just wanted the drugs and illegals to stop and more secure border?

That wont be good for PP's image when the tariffs and disruption continue! He will be tarnished and associated with Trump and look like a weakling!

second thoughts on what ? and i come here to learn and try to understand how the crazy luney leftists got to be so brainwashed
and you never fail to bring the insight and silly

[chuckChuck]

"Luney" you mean loony!

Donald is going to cost you money and you are going bend over and say you like it Crop?

Like a good little sheep?

[cropgrower]

i would gladly take a cut in income if it resulted in getting his country back on track , the downhill slide has to stop and i fully understand it will cost for a while , you just keep living in dreamland cc

Schadenfreude much there chuck?

You don't seem concerned about how this will affect your 6,000 acre farm, only how it will affect your ideological opponents.

[checking]

Those are just the excuses for tariffs. If it wasn't those, it would be something, or things else to continue the tariffs.

Question is, what are you going to do about it? As said, I hoped his election would not come across borders. Hope fades fast. Buckle up.

Trump is misrepresenting tariffs.

They are paid by the importer not the exporter.

They are designed to make imported goods more expensive to give local producers a competitive advantage.

Canada/USA trade is fairly well balanced.

I wonder what it would take to dislodge the blind support of the coalition, so an election could be triggered, and then I read Chuckchuck and I realize, nothing we can do to dislodge the dogmatic.

Canada is screwed by a week constitution with zero checks and balances.

We do need constitutional reform and an election.

If you need to compete with US suppliers, that is not the case.

Not overly concerned
he can tariff up whatever he wants but at the end of the day a global markef sets the price. We dont move a ton of canola to the usa so if the market drops ( like it has) then it will get dragged back up when the oil complex goes up. Wheat our value is in the basis anyways so big whoop. American dolllar goes up.. we win.
no money in wheat right now anyways unless you are growing 75 + bushels.


So trudeau will have a choice... either sacrifice our energy and ag sector or sacrifice some supply management as an olive branch. Either way he loses and will be out. I expect that PP will vote to cancel the mexico/ canada/ usa trade agreement and come up with something more favourable for the us. End of the day we jist ship less to the us and more to global markets. Less corn coming up across the border will be good for us... prob up feed barley and thus malt barley prices.

Equipment values were never going to come down anyways so meh. Just dont be a dipshiza and have 100+ $/ ac in equipment costs and you will be just finnnee..or pay 150$/ ac rent * snickers*

Can you remind me again, which of those is a Quebec political football, and which affects Western canada?

I think I know which will get sacrificed.
