A Sucker Punch From Your Neighbour/Friend?

[1st Vette]

It’s an ugly situation to say the least. As a Canadian, all I can do is avoid buying American products, and avoid all travel to the US and it will be a long time before I venture there again. Hearing many other Canadians are doing the same!
What I do is a drop in the barrel but at least it makes me feel good. .

The US only accounts for about 4.2% of the world’s population. There are a lot of other interesting people and cultures in over 100 other countries that are still safe to visit just waiting to be explored. I never could figure out the attraction of Florida which has basically become one big strip mall. Not to say that there aren’t nice areas and people as well south of the border but they have had their day , for now at least.

I saw on the news that Canadians are being harassed by some USAn's. "Are you here legally?" Idiots.

Apparently now anyone entering the US has to “ register “ with I assume “ Homeland Security “ . Although they generously said that Canadians don’t have to submit to fingerprinting. Yet . I wonder what our friend Billy Bob would think about that lol.

So ... where the f*(&& does it end ? 1 000 000 % tariffs on everything ? What a joke all the way around
Ford is in alot of ways just like trumpet beating his chest and playing tough guy ... but even I'll admit that I would take Ford any day over Demon Dickhead ...

Just one quick glance at this lick dick or lutnik or what ever his name is and you can tell he is criminal to the core and has a crooked sophistication that only the billionaire bunch can understand

And Dougie is going to meet with him ?

God help us

Interesting to see Trump in front of the cameras today saying they have a strong man up there in Canada and he was very polite. Speaking of Doug . Trump is a hard thing to figure out.

Here' s my take on that ..... Dougs words with regards to this situation have been ( for lack of a better word that I cant think of right now ) comforting to some Onatrians and Canadians ... because he's pushed himself into the position of pseudo prime minister ... however IMHO trusting Ford is like trusting a recovering sex addict in a whorehouse ... ( hope that sparked a grin )

But seriously .... although Dougie has seen some success in the business world with his daddy's company Deco labels ... he is not ( by any stretch of the imagination ) anywhere close to being in the league of these insane billionaires . If you google all the people surrounding the demon ... they are ALL billionaires

Me thinks that they possibly could have had some free time on Thursday and decided they wanted some entertainment to flex their power and who better to provide that diversion to them at this given point in time than some cry baby from Canada .

Remember how Trump praised Zelli at the beginning of that infamous meeting saying what a pleasure it was to have him at the whitehouse ... and we all know how that turned out .. then he kicks him out ... what a class act he is eh?

I think the demon is just stoking the fire ... like he has any respect for some yahoo from Canada who is threatening him back ...

Ford said that the electricity tariffs would be in place until ALL US tariffs were off the table now he's back tracking because they extended him an "olive branch " ... No no Dougie ... they just bought and sold you

Trumps demon press secretary said that the tariffs on steel and alluminum are going to be applied " without exception "


I feel that with regards to this " meeting " Ford is little better than calf to slaughter

Just my opinion ... and with that and 2 bucks you can buy a Kit Kat at the local convenience store

Not sure where they found their Press Secretary but she certainly doesn’t come across as a very pleasant individual. In keeping with the majority of the current administration. In other words, a perfect fit. The only one who knows what Trump is thinking is Trump and often that seems questionable. Impossible to predict what’s next and that certainly seems to be by design.

Again, if you read about the rise of Hitler it is very similar to what DJT is trying to do.
Anything he says is a bunch of crap. He doesn't care about the USA. He sees the USA as his company now so he will cajole. threaten and anything else to weaken his competition.
All in the sake of enriching himself, family and billionaire friends/companies.
I mentioned it before but he will either seek a third term or anoint one of his family to continue the T dynasty.
A true hypocrite as he said he was getting the US out of all wars and here he is threatening Panama, Greenland and next Canada with military action to get what he wants - money.
Unfortunately he is destroying what the USA stood for over the last 80 years, a symbol of democracy. Russia and China will look at this and emulate him. Wouldn't surprise me to see Taiwan fall within five years.
A very sad predicament for every one in the world.
We can not lock arms with our US cousins anymore.
Standing on our own is the only way to do it.

Stop watching CNN!!! They are liars. Canada has had 300% tariffs on USA agricultural goods for a very long time. AB premier has it right. POTUS win huge in the popular vote and the college vote. Open borders- 12 million illegals. Woke policies, dems free medical, hotels and meals at tax payers expense etc. etc. fir the illegals Kamala as POTUS and that VP moron? I don't think so? More damage was done under Biden: 2 wars, high inflation, open borders and huge deficits and a ballooning debt. - approx. $ 37 T.

Stop watching CNN!!! They are liars.

So we should watch Fox News? CNN is a lot more reliable. They all have opinions, but fox is by far the worst. They are no better than a propaganda spreading outlet much like Russia's news agency.

CTV seems to agree with CNN! You should check your facts.

Fact check: What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200 per cent on dairy products imported from the U.S.. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact.

I would trust the National Enquirer before Fox News ….

Until last week, I kept a little wad of usa cash.
I enjoy(ed) annual Appalachia vacations, two or three Vegas romps, and the odd week in Florida during the winter.
f*** all that.
My new wad is in CDN$$ and my vacationing will be right here, in Ontario for the foreseeable future.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I hear the Hamilton Beach Strip has excellent cottage rental rates Nov-April lol...

Replacing the US in favor of discovering more of Canada is a great switch. Being from the far West I look forward to checking out Quebec City. To you all out East our Okanagan (Kelowna) has an international airport, fantastic hospitality services, scenery and wineries galore. Summer in Vancouver is not to shabby either.

I sold off some US equities a few weeks ago which I have held for quite some time. Thankfully at a profit and given the current situation as well as the level of the CAD figured the time had come. Looking for something interesting on this side of the border now. Hopefully more are doing the same. Might not be a big thing but principles are just that.

And now the Feds are applying tariffs on U.S. steel tonight.

Last year was the first time my Wife and I actually took our RV on a long-term trip (8 weeks) into the United States.
Sure there were short, isolated visits in and out, but never anything substantial.
Having been across Canada a few times already, it seemed only logical to expand our horizons.
The people were great.
The geography was terrific.
Our plans were to do the same thing over the next few years, altering routes until we had essentially 'passed through' most states.
It's not cheap travelling, and while I'm sure our contribution to the U.S.'s tourism industry goes relatively unnoticed, it was significant.
Now, with the way things are, forget that nonsense.
I'll be sticking to Canada, thank you very much.
We still have the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to check out, so there is no shortage of natural beauty to behold.

Adding to this change in attitude, is our company's annual 'team building' excursions.
We have taken a group (usually around 10 - 12 people) on 4 day 'outings', either to Vegas or Miami, every year for the last 10 years.
Guess what?
Not anymore.
This year it will be stay 'home', meaning Canada, or stay 'home', meaning if you don't like it, don't come with the rest of us.
I'll not be spending hard-earned money in the States, only for this clown to blame his problems on us.

It's utterly amazing how this one man can singlehandedly drive a wedge between old friends and allies.
I truly wish the American people would wake up and put a stop to all of his antics, before it is simply too late.

Until about 1968........been converted to $1.5 million "residences".

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I drove the Beach Strip on Monday. There are still some original shitholes you could rent, with a unique view of the hydro towers from your beach front location...

This demon clown has done more damage to the USA in 6 weeks than all other potus combined have done cumulatively ...

And the Maggot crowd is eating it up as they love the fact that the US is being deeper and deeper isolated on the world stage as the vast majority of them are hermits who like nothing better than sitting around all day in their dirty underwear ... drinking beer .. watching re runs of the price is right and glued also to fox news ... and bitching about Liberals ....
