Trump ‘serious threat’ to Canadian prosperity, business leaders say

[checking]

cc. Lots of C69's, but I'm staying with your topic.

The IAA, also known as Bill C-69, also known as the no pipelines act at least by some,strengthens federal authority to assess the impact of new resource projects and potentially stop them, if they affect climate change, public health, Indigenous concerns, fisheries and federal lands.

My questions to you remain the same.

The budget passed long ago.

Chuck2 you list all that the government has done above that in your mind is positive, why is it that the US economy is growing at a much higher rate than Canada’s and why is the support for the Federal Liberal’s as low as 16% in one recent public opinion poll? It appears to me that the above federal legislation has fallen flat on its face!!!

More convinced by the day Chuck2 that you are payed by the Federal Liberals to troll Agriville.

That's an old Bill C69 then!

But how is this staying with the topic Trump ‘serious threat’ to Canadian prosperity, business leaders say?

Trudeau is done and he got the TMX built which has been a boon to oil industry which is much more valuable with Trump in power and Canada needing other markets.

Apparently Trudeau did not kill the oil industry! But Trump may set the oil industry back far more with tariffs than Trudeau ever did.

That's the much bigger issue by far!

Your question is not really relevant or and not important in the current state of affairs.

Yes the Impact Assessment Act, also known as the no more pipelines bill is certainly responsible for a lot of the economic stagnation in Canada today.

Donald Trump’s willingness to use trade as a weapon represents an existential threat to Canada’s prosperity and requires this country to secure its economic independence – both by increasing its capacity to export resources to other markets and spending more on defence, a group of Canadian leaders in foreign affairs and business says.

“Our country faces the most serious threat to its sovereignty and economic prosperity since the Second World War,” says a statement by the Expert Group on Canada-U. S. Relations.

“In less than three weeks, the United States will have a new President who has signaled his willingness to do severe damage to our country. Our response must be a strategy to put Canada’s interests first.”

The U.S. trade deficit with Canada on an annual basis reached $100-billion as of early December – something Ottawa says is largely caused by Canada’s significant oil and natural gas sales to the Americans.

Canada must ramp up its capacity to export energy such as natural gas, as well as critical minerals, to other markets besides the United States in order to lessen dependence on American trade sanctions, the group said.

“This will require major regulatory changes to make infrastructure and resource projects easier to develop and to reduce restrictions on oil and gas production,” the group said. “The federal and provincial governments must fast-track key projects and not subject them to endless environmental impact assessment reviews and regulatory hurdles.”

Mr. Beatty, in an interview, said Canada is currently giving the United States a discount on energy because Canadians earn less for their petroleum sales than they could in other export markets.

“We’ve allowed ourselves to become captive to one customer, he said. “Mr. Trump talks about the U.S. subsidizing Canada, but we have been subsidizing them by not getting world prices on our oil and gas, because we have not shipped to global markets.”

Chuck's favorite bills never deal with making money.
Our own policies as big a threat as any.

The lunatic NDP think they can run a country by taxing the so called higher earners more , totally clueless on how wealth is created , they are even worse than the liberals if that is possible

[chuckChuck]

So is PP planning to get rid of the progressive tax system? He hasn't said that at all.

He has little room to cut taxes during a Trump presidency when the country goes into recession.

Get ready for a PP deficit because he won't be able to cut as much as he thinks he can with all those centrist urban and suburban MPs.

[cropgrower]

yes we know all the NDP chucks will be whining if they loose any of their free stuff

[cropgrower]

watch Jordan Peterson recent podcast with PP , PP outlines a lot of his plan to try to get things back on track , well worth watching
