  • I don’t even know who I am talking to half the time when I am on here the names are so small Lemmy needs avatars so I can tell what crazy you are, if we are up to 4 that’s a lot less than the original isn’t it? … how many did you say there were? I also get lost wandering around here as well LOL now I know how my father feels Where were we… What do I need to back up. Afghanistan? Was Trump supposed keep the troops there in a country that has been fighting since Christ was a Cowboy, Man the Russians tried to win that war and they pulled out of there in 1988-89 because it was a no win war and Trump knew this and was tired was seeing lives wasted so he started the end of the end. Sleepy Joe didn’t seem to have a problem taking possession of the Trump agreement to withdraw troops and hand all the military equipment over to the enemy. Don’t like the name calling don’t start it.













  • So I was wrong on one thing. Meh Now like it or lump it Trump is playing by his rule book and it is full of loop holes and he is using everyone especially the **“For National Security” **one

    Now Mag. Retard onto the War and Military. We would never have a military attack against the US or at least not a Canadian sanctioned attack. The US will only take Canada by Economic means and they can wait us out.

    Do you know How many countries in the world are still having troubles with Trumps Tariffs? Major trade disputes Doesn’t seem like all over the world

    China

    • Tariffs: New 2025 tariffs on Chinese goods started at 10% in February and escalated to a total of 130% by November, not including the expanded metal tariffs.
    • Trade talks: Negotiations are ongoing between Washington and Beijing, leading to a temporary reduction of some tariffs as of May 2025, which was later extended.
    • Retaliation: China has responded with its own tariffs on U.S. goods and new export controls, particularly on critical rare earth minerals.

    Canada

    • Tariffs: Canada has been heavily affected by the new tariffs, particularly in its steel, aluminum, and automotive sectors. This led to a brief trade dispute in March 2025 that saw Canada impose its own retaliatory measures, although some were later removed.
    • Negotiations: Intense negotiations with the U.S. have led to some relief for goods compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
    • However, as of September 2025, Canadian tariffs on U.S. steel, aluminum, and automobiles remain in effect, as do the U.S. tariffs on those products.
    • EDIT We all know how this is going now Thanks to Doug Ford and Now David Eby in all of his wisdom is planning on running ads.

    European Union

    • Tariffs: The U.S. imposed baseline tariffs, and in July 2025, reached a temporary agreement to cap the rates for the EU at 15% on most goods.
    • Negotiations: The agreement includes continued talks on other tariffs, with the EU suspending its own retaliatory countermeasures.

    Brazil

    • Tariffs: Brazil faces some of the highest tariff rates in the world, with a 50% reciprocal tariff on most goods.
    • Negotiations: Negotiations are ongoing, with a delay announced in July 2025 to increase tariffs further.





  • Big war tactician are you, have lots of time in the trenches? I am well aware of our trade situation and I wouldn’t call it a war by any means. That’s just the legacy media fear mongering the sheep Bhhhaaaa The Actions of our PM of not communicating with the President and by flying all over the world and delivering huge Nothing Burgers back to Canada. He had made 1 US trip and very little attempts to make any real deals with Trump himself.




  • Yeah about 40 years ago, we should have been maximizing our resources not hindering them. Also encouraging manufacturing not taxing and burning it in red tape at every step forward. We have an oil refinery on the East Coast that has to buy oil from the Middle East or Russia because we can’t get our own oil to this location. Although we have shipped Alberta oil from Burnaby BC down the West Coast to the Panama Canal through to the Atlantic Ocean up the East Coast to Irving Oils Refinery. Isn’t that Green? If only we had a way to get that oil across the Country. Now our feet are in the fire and we have a PM that is dragging his ass and using every excuse to not build a pipeline in Canada, Brookfield has lots in the US and elsewhere though. This is the easiest solution to get things rolling in Canada. But no, he is using existing projects that are already nearing completion. We need to start selling our oil, gas, minerals, wood, grains, meat and everything else to the world but we still need the US market for the stuff that we just don’t have. We are not Euro trash we are Canadian and I will buy American before I buy an EU product.
