I’m not as worried about the tariffs as some. We just need to find new biz partners, which can’t be too difficult given the resources we have to sell. Everybody wants them. So, let’s not get our knickers in a knot over it. Let Trump place a 25% tariff on Canadian products and let’s see how the average American consumer likes paying for his tax cuts for the rich. It won’t take long for them to start baulking. In the mean time let’s go find new trading partners who actually want our products…
Cool. I hadn’t heard that story. Thanks for sharing.
Altogether we have less population than the state of California, so I doubt they would take us as individual states, but anyway, why would we want to? Look at the mess they have down there?
I fight corruption here in Canada because it’s getting worse, but Americans are surrounded by it. It’s everywhere. It’s really sad. We don’t want to be a part of it I guarantee you…
The way out of it is to secure new trading partners. There’s no reason why Canada can’t:
A pipeline to the Maritimes from Alberta is a non-starter. Quebec has already said no. But it could go across the Northwest Territories to Hudson’s Bay. And then shipped from there.
