The ad is a success imo. Trump saying he’s canceling trade talks is all about Carney being off in Asia right now looking for new trading partners, not about the ad. The ad is just an excuse.
TL;DR The ad quotes Ronald Reagan talking against protectionist tariffs.
Trump and the Ronald Reagan Foundation are freaking out, and claiming that it’s taken out of context.
But it really isn’t. You can judge for yourself:
Yeah leave it up to the cheeto to bitch and moan about facts
I heard when Mexico and the USA get in a trade dispute, Mexico stops shipping those specific goods north until the USA caves. Perhaps we should do the same.
Stop shipping critical items to the USA, such as potash and softwood lumber. They can’t produce enough domestically and need to import.
There is plenty of money to pay the businesses and workers if we cut the military spending from 5% down to 1% and put the border security back to where is was when all this trade crap started.
Carney needs to play hardball, it’s the only thing Trump understands.
I’ve been saying we need to put a nice export tax on potash. If the US wants it, they pay an extra 50% or something to take it out of Canada. That collected tax can be used in our new build up Canada movement.
The US has no other real option for potash. Canada is the worlds largest supplier and we fulfill 85% of the US need - around $3.6 billion a year. They can pay more for it and Canada can use that money to improve our position in the world stage.
I know one of the big potash companies just said that they would stop selling to the US (I am fairly sure it wasn’t Mosaic, I don’t think it was BHP, and I am blanking on the other big one), I just hope they keep the embargo up.
I’m with you.
It wouldn’t be surprising at this point if he used this as an excuse to invade Canada.
If he does invade, and our military hands out guns, remember one thing … soldiers don’t wear body armour on their faces.
The US doesn’t have a good record when it comes to invading our territory, the people here have a habit of getting shit faced and burning down the White House. Trump has given us a head start tearing down the East Wing.
Just hand out a bunch of knives.
Carney needs to play hardball, it’s the only thing Trump understands.
I disagree with this, Trump knows how to say gimme.
Canada proving that the despite its more northern latitude, there are more snowflakes in DC in the White House.
This guy really is a fucking snowflake.
He’s so fucking fragile.
Fuck this fat orange bitch.
