Yep, But you should of seen that when she first got elected! There are those who are beginning to see what a huge mistake she is for Alberta ,for Canada 🇨🇦
The unity of Canada? Are you talking about the unity that no longer exists because Trudeau and his corrupt government have done everything they can to destroy it? I don’t consider Alberta part of Canada anymore and there’s little to be proud of in being Canadian. Drinking beer, watching hockey, legalization of marijuana while allowing millions to flood into this country so taxpayers can house them, feed them and pay for their medical expenses. Are the many homeless encampments something to be proud of, how about the drug addiction the government encourages with free drugs? Maybe we should be proud of the high cost of living and the most expensive real estate in the world? Can we be proud of our ever increasing tax burden and national debt? I’d would have been disappointed if Smith hadn’t gone to talk to Trump since there’s no one at the federal level that is capable of doing it and no one on the federal level that cares about Alberta. Trudeau would love 25% tariffs on Alberta oil going into the US if it helped shutdown the oil and gas industry in Alberta and keep the oil in the ground. Smith did the right thing by going to talk to Trump on her own instead of letting some incompetent liberal throw Alberta under the bus to gain something for Ontario and Quebec. When Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline project where was Trudeau and what did he do or say to try and get Biden to change his mind? Where was the unity then?
I'm sending my American Pension here in Canada 🇨🇦 I purchased mostly Canadian and foreign products. I stopped purchasing American goods just for suggesting tarrifs on Canada! Trump can take a hike no return !
Now is the time for Canada to move to a more efficient use of our own resources. Right now, we only recycle 9% of the recyclable plastics. I don't know how much plastic we import from the US, but it's time that stopped! Doing more to recycle will create jobs _and_ useful products.
All industries, lumber. We could single handedly solve the housing problem in one election cycle. Build cheap homes on crown land. Produce, do what Spain, and Quebec are doing. Massive greenhouses built to supply the country. Oil, the Kitimat refinery must be somewhat close to ready. That’ll push our oil refining rate above our oil consumption rate.
The people who are going to suffer are Canadians we need to sent a message to corporate America who are profiting on the backs of Canadians while we pay to much at the pump Americans are enjoying cheap fuel we need to build a refinery in Canada
Nobody has built a refinery anywhere in the last 30 years. An upgrader plant was built in Edmonton a while back but that's only to extract diesel from crude.
If canada wants to hit back it's potash where the most damage can be done, slap a fat export tax on that critical mineral. The US is 96% dependent on Canada and there is no other option to replace from unless they want to go to Russia.
@@bigdaddyof2007 And aluminum. They have next to no commercially viable deposits and import 99% of what they use. Half of that comes from Canada. An export tax? Maybe. I'm thinking an export *ban* - suddenly losing 50% of their supply would cause their manufacturing a *major* crisis. Layoffs; business closures... We also need to *ban* the import of certain products. They have been pushing for greater access to the dairy market - so shut them out completely. Ban the import of liquor and tobacco. And so on. Preferably, hit things produced by red states.
As an resident of Alberta most of my life I can't believe we don't have one of the largest refineries in Canada right here in Alberta. Smith is a joke.
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SS! will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with Stephanie Janis Stiefel my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

I’m planning on moving to Thailand in the next 5 years if trump’s government doesn’t do anything with the high prices of groceries and taxes What about you??
Canadians, please don't try to talk to Republicans using facts and logic. They don't know what that is. Just tell them how much God loves them and you are praying for them and Trump really is Jesus Christ. They will believe it all and don't know what the hell a tariff is.
Someone who can stand up to Trump. Canada should impose commensurate tariffs on the US. It would hurt Canadians as much as it would hurt Americans. However, everyone would know that the US started it.
How did the US start it? Trudeau and his ilk haven't done a damn thing to strengthen the border in the nearly 10 years of their misrule. I don't blame the US for basically saying "Okay, fine. If that's the way you want it." Trudeau refused to act, so Trump is going to. We can either keep our side of the bargain, or get economically pounded into the dirt. What say you?
@Sewtired if canada wanted to truly respond tariff would not be needed but an export tax on critical minerals like potash to which America is 96 % dependent upon canada for, I wonder how their farmers would like it if that would double in price.
Many people are already saying they go to the states every year for vacation and now they are choosing to go somewhere else. Also a lot of snowbirds are thinking of selling their American vacation homes.
Who in their right mind wants to vacation in Miami or Vegas from Canada right now and spend $1.43 CDN per 1 US Dollar? Go to Jamaica or Mexico instead. Not USA! All CDN sunbirds need to sell their properties and leave Florida asap or go broke!
@@Conservativetomycore Im from Alberta. Yes we are hurting Canada by trying to buddy buddy up with Trump. She loves Trump, she clearly has no problem giving Trump everything he wants while hurting you or I.
@ hurting Alberta ? Where have you been these last 10 years of a Trudeau government, if you want to talk hurting Alberta: we have all wanted Alberta to separate, As far as that goes Ontario and Quebec can rot in hell for the continued screwing of Alberta, look closely as you are watching Alberta’s separation from Canada, don’t think so, well the liberals have all but put Carney in the chair and nobody voted for him.
You make good arguments and a lot of US business people and political leaders agree, the problem is that the Donald doesn't seem to understand and simply won't listen to these arguments because he has already made up his mind on how things work.....
Day 1. Ban ALL exports of minerals to USA. CDN goverment will buy/stockpile them for resale at a profit at later date. 2% Export tariff on CDN Oil. to recoup the funding of energy producers like Shell. (read green loans) Accellerate Import of European cars.
Hmm I feel like 2% is a little low. It would NEVER happen but if we are going to suffer short term wouldn't increasing that tariff to something like 4% with a substantial investment in refining in-country?
Bud there's not going to be any 2% export tariff on CDN oil. Dani's sold us out! Even Albertans are pi$$ed; it's only a minority oil and gas lobby that's looking to appease Donald. But yes, all exports of minerals to US should be halted. They can't mine, and even if they do, it'll take them years to get the resource from the ground. The US armed forces need antimony to make night vision goggles and China's stopped supply of it to the US. They'd now need to get it from Canada. If Donald pushes it, we need to punch him in the face and critical minerals are the way to do that, among other things. Have you stopped buying American yet? I'm thinking I'm going to drop Albertan suppliers for any projects that I'd work on. I'm specifically targeting AB because their Premier couldn't care less about the rest of the nation. Well fair enough, stop buying from AB and soon their own people will turn on her! I chose AB suppliers when I could have bought from ON. Dani's really ticked me off by going to Mar-a-Lago and kissing the ring and not showing a united front. AB needs to pay!
@femiogunsola5436 China is on that! They have an alliance with 45% of the world’s population, with plans for a joint currency. If Trump had a brain, he’d worry about that 45% and not Canada! He’s going to destroy western countries, and the BRICS+ (China’s friends), will rule the world!
Actually the central banks have started using a basket of currencies. (including the CAD), for this reason: The US debt to gdp ratio is 123% Canada's is 42% this means the US has to borrow massive sums of money to keep their government running, while Canada doesn't. Central banks like stable currencies.
Because we are too nice 🙄, and we depend on them for security. We need to be more independent. Build our military and increase our trade relations across the globe.
Ask the Eastern politicans why the pipe line to the east coast or the northen gateway wasn't built. There was only one choice to sell the oil snd that was to Americans. The government of Canada made billions but could have made much,much more. Trudeau wants to keep oil and natural resouces in the ground. Now you got what you got.
I have watched the tariff talk coming from both sides of the border, not a single person who claims to understand them has ever referenced the first across the board tariffs the US ever implemented and the disaster it wrought on the American economy. How can they claim to know these things without studying the 'Smoot Hawley Tariff Act'. It would be an interesting exercise for economists in the know to speculate on ways today's Globalized world trade will amplify the negative consequences to America.
Canada, Provinces and Municipalities should create insentives for tiny house building and parking or small lots. Focus on affordable housing that helps business, communities and individuals at a lower income level.
Indeed. Showing he has no understanding of trade deficits. Add that to the pile along with tariffs, governance, democracy, climate change, integrity, etc.
Haha. Look deeper, general knowledge will help no one...we need to take more steps to see the truth in all the noise. particularly with tarrifs and political ideologies....
End the USMCA. Yes it will be tough on Canada in the short run, but that is the problem created by not investing in your own economy and willingly becoming a branch plant vassal state economy under US control. Canada is a country with unlimited natural resources and should be a powerhouse and yet the gov't has turned Canada into a financialized economy where only the FIRE (finance, insurance and real estate) sectors benefit.
The problem is everyone is reacting to extreme rhetoric with extreme rhetoric. If people wanted independence from the US, then steps should've been taken years ago. The wake up call from 2016-2020 when all of this happened before with steel and aluminum. Wanting sweeping change a week before tariffs are imposed doesn't work either. That's the advantage Trump has under section 232 and he can be as petulant as wants, without oversight under the guise of national security. It will be mutually assured destruction but America holds the nuclear football.
All resources belong to Canada that’s right we give you the resources and you know it because the US Don’g know how to find their own they have still from others.
Also America has 10 times the population of Canada, is Trump really this stupid? Somsbody make a list of made in America products so Canadians know what not to buy when TSHTF.
For Canada I think an export tax on oil, gas and electricity is the way to go. America is not in the position to immediately close the pipelines or power grid to Canadian exports. Gas prices consumers pay at the pump would immediately jump as would heating bills. 1979 energy spike would return to America. There isn't a politician alive who would not feel the heat from industry paying 30% more for electricity or drivers paying a buck or even 2 bucks more per gallon. Than the huge increase in that winter heating bill. WTI oil price has already spiked $10 a barrel recently some I'm sure is due to Trumps ideas. If the cost of Canadian oil goes up $25 a barrel and Canada disperses that revenue to Canadian consumers I think WTI $90 by May. The rub is, I think Canada should not just accept that 25% duty removal as enough, Trump will be on his back heals and Canada will want more and likely get more. America can't shut down 26% of it refining capacity, they can't buy heavy oil from Venezuela, they have a trade embargo there. Lines at every gas station within a fortnight.
Tariff is a tax that will be paid by the consumers. US consumers will suffer from hyper inflation, higher housing prices and so on starting feb 2025. Buckle up, you're in for a crazy ride.
This gentleman comes across informed, well-spoken and tough. Exactly, the caliber of person we should have representing Canada's interests on networks like CNBC and CNN.
Trump's policies had been viewed by many experts as more positive for the financials sector, spurring this massive rally. It's enticing to consider purchasing some stocks, I'm contemplating investing more than $300k. Thoughts?
It seems like there's potential, but caution is warranted. hence I will advice you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points
I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started investing. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over 90% in a little over a year, my advisor chooses entry and exit orders
Lisa Grace Myer is the licensed advisor I use and i'm just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
On a per capita basis we buy 8X more from them then they do from us. Trade deficit cannot be looked at without considering population size. This should be said every time we discuss this topic.
The big reason there is a trade deficit now is oil. Canadian oil is cheap for the US to buy. The US refineries need heavy oil and they don't have much so they get it from Canada. Take out oil and the US has a surplus balance of trade with Canada. Canada needs to build the Gateway oil pipeline to increase oil exports to other countries. The New Shell LNG facility will be completed in 2025. Japan would be a perfect customer for Canadian natural gas.
the gov of canada would send periodic relief checks out to offset tariffs for low incom canadians, trump would not, so belies the porblem for low income americans... 😮
For 4 years of the previous Trump Presidency, I did not go to or pass through the US. I just didn't feel comfortable. I'm getting that feeling again....
I was always behind Danielle Smith, but what an embarrassment she turned out to be and a traitor to Canada the only premier in Canada, that’s not on board disgusting
Thank you for the education lesson. Okay everyone stop getting your nickers in a knot, this will get resolved by our new Conservative federal government, all you civil servants working from home get back to work at the office, time to get this country back on track.
THe conservatives won't be able to do anything more than the Liberals. Smith has a stomach full of Trump's DNA and not even that would help. (though she did it just because she wanted to)
PP is as much a MAGA, as Danielle Smith. The 2 of them will sell out Canada. To quote Trudeau, there’s not a snowballs chance in hell I’ll vote PP, and I’m from Alberta!
All these talking heads are just ignoring the obvious. Trump wants auto manufacturers back in Michigan. Full stop. Why should Canada manufacture cars to USA when their head offices are in USA?
Because they sell a *lot* of vehicles here. The agreement has always been that building them here gave them duty-free access to our market, while people building elsewhere were charged an import duty. That's why Toyota and Honda opened plants in Canada, for example. But hey, if that's how Trump wants to play, then we freeze out any US-made vehicles... and drop the barriers for, say, vehicles from China.
Canadian and American auto industries have been integrated since the 1965 Auto Pact. Since then the general rule is that the US imports as many cars from Canada as they sell in Canada. This deal has worked well for both countries for 60 years.
@geraldbrowne Don the con wants far more than cars manufactured in the US. China quit selling them rare minerals, so the con needs to annex Canada and Panama, so he has access to our rare minerals. He also talks about the water tap in Canada. In Alberta, we’ve been on water rations for watering our lawns for years. Once the glaciers are gone, there is no water, and yet Arizona, Nevada and Californians all have swimming pools. They need to quit wasting water, just like Calgary did last summer. Then I might feel sorry for them, but Americans are gluttons. It’s always America first. They take advantage of everyone!
Because Canadians are more tech savvy and better educated. If you look at what is manufactured where, you would the the delicate and complicated parts are made in Canada. Simple stuff that needs to be made in bulk is in Mexico, and the other stuff is in the US.
@@Dstinct Europe may be the answer for canadian auto. Europe is trying to get away from Chinese ev's. Ontario is pouring a huge amount of money into battery production. Ontario is one of the few jurisdictions with the entire supply chain from mining to recycling . They also have the CEDA free trade deal with the EU.
That's Trump's *excuse* - not the *reason.* By claiming it has to so with "national security" he can use an executive order and bypass restrictions that might otherwise slow or stop implementation. It's what he did last time over aluminum and steel. (And BTW, if you bothered paying attention, there actually *has* been a lot of effort made on the border security issue - not that Trump will care.)
NO IT ISNT HE SAID NO ITS TRADE DEFICIT INSTEAD AFTER THEY STARTED DOING BORDER STUFF AND GOING BACK TO HIM AMD HE SAID THE ECONOMIC FORCE IS FORCE ANNEXING
Trump also wants to annex Canada, Geeenland, and Panama. He wants Canada’s water and rare minerals, without paying for them. With Don the con, nothing is as it seems!
At the end of the day, since the Canadian dollar is worth 33% less, it’s obvious more Americans will buy cheaper Canadian goods than the other way. You can’t have it both ways.
I am canceling 2 subscriptions to financial services on january 21 if tariffs and instead going with Canadian services, cause i'm pissed now. The 2 subscriptions are worth $400 usd $575 Canadian, being that I live in northern BC I use Amazon a lot, tariffs would really encourage Canadian e-commerce in Canada to put a 25 % tariff on Amazon. I have made tools purchases for my business from a company in Ontario called Atlas tools in the past and been very happy with their service and prices and I don't care so much if they are sourcing from America because they are Canadian I am dealing with a Canadian company might have to do, but hopefully they source out Canadian suppliers to supply me.

The unity of Canada? Are you talking about the unity that no longer exists because Trudeau and his corrupt government have done everything they can to destroy it? I don’t consider Alberta part of Canada anymore and there’s little to be proud of in being Canadian. Drinking beer, watching hockey, legalization of marijuana while allowing millions to flood into this country so taxpayers can house them, feed them and pay for their medical expenses. Are the many homeless encampments something to be proud of, how about the drug addiction the government encourages with free drugs? Maybe we should be proud of the high cost of living and the most expensive real estate in the world? Can we be proud of our ever increasing tax burden and national debt? I’d would have been disappointed if Smith hadn’t gone to talk to Trump since there’s no one at the federal level that is capable of doing it and no one on the federal level that cares about Alberta. Trudeau would love 25% tariffs on Alberta oil going into the US if it helped shutdown the oil and gas industry in Alberta and keep the oil in the ground. Smith did the right thing by going to talk to Trump on her own instead of letting some incompetent liberal throw Alberta under the bus to gain something for Ontario and Quebec. When Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline project where was Trudeau and what did he do or say to try and get Biden to change his mind? Where was the unity then?
Smith lies all the time just like DT.. I remember the disinformation she spude when she was the leader of the wild rose party
I'm sending my American Pension here in Canada 🇨🇦 I purchased mostly Canadian and foreign products. I stopped purchasing American goods just for suggesting tarrifs on Canada! Trump can take a hike no return !
Now is the time for Canada to move to a more efficient use of our own resources. Right now, we only recycle 9% of the recyclable plastics. I don't know how much plastic we import from the US, but it's time that stopped! Doing more to recycle will create jobs _and_ useful products.
I agree, I was looking into plastic to oil technology.
We export a lot of plastic to the US.
All industries, lumber. We could single handedly solve the housing problem in one election cycle. Build cheap homes on crown land.
Produce, do what Spain, and Quebec are doing. Massive greenhouses built to supply the country.
Oil, the Kitimat refinery must be somewhat close to ready. That’ll push our oil refining rate above our oil consumption rate.
@Hrrrrrrrrrreng so you're saying we should become a socialist command control economy...
@@spicybbqtasty3960
Helping the less fortunate in your own county is always a bad thing with Conservatives, lol
In short, they need our raw materials more than we need their widgets.
The people who are going to suffer are Canadians we need to sent a message to corporate America who are profiting on the backs of Canadians while we pay to much at the pump Americans are enjoying cheap fuel we need to build a refinery in Canada
Nobody has built a refinery anywhere in the last 30 years. An upgrader plant was built in Edmonton a while back but that's only to extract diesel from crude.
lots of refineries in Canada, what will one more change?
If canada wants to hit back it's potash where the most damage can be done, slap a fat export tax on that critical mineral. The US is 96% dependent on Canada and there is no other option to replace from unless they want to go to Russia.
@@bigdaddyof2007 And aluminum. They have next to no commercially viable deposits and import 99% of what they use. Half of that comes from Canada. An export tax? Maybe. I'm thinking an export *ban* - suddenly losing 50% of their supply would cause their manufacturing a *major* crisis. Layoffs; business closures...
We also need to *ban* the import of certain products. They have been pushing for greater access to the dairy market - so shut them out completely. Ban the import of liquor and tobacco. And so on. Preferably, hit things produced by red states.
As an resident of Alberta most of my life I can't believe we don't have one of the largest refineries in Canada right here in Alberta. Smith is a joke.
We need to send them a bill for Gander.
One the worst things that we did as a country was not producing products from our wealth of natural resources. Perhaps time to get going on this.
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SS! will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with Stephanie Janis Stiefel my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
I know this lady you just mentioned. Stephanie Janis Stiefel is a portfolio manager and investment advisor. She gained recognition as an employee of neuberger berman; a renowned investor she is. Stephanie Janis Stiefel has demonstrated expertise in investment strategies and has been involved in managing portfolios and providing guidance to clients.
I’m planning on moving to Thailand in the next 5 years if trump’s government doesn’t do anything with the high prices of groceries and taxes
What about you??
Been debt free for two years thanks to Stephanie Janis Stiefel. So sad to see my friends in their 40s with car loans, mortgages and credit card debt.
My sister lives in Aussie. They have good healthcare better than America. I am also moving there after I retire.
Please let’s stop gentrifying countries
It has to be said again tariffs are a tax that is paid by consumers and American businesses people will react to higher prices by buying less
Canadians, please don't try to talk to Republicans using facts and logic. They don't know what that is. Just tell them how much God loves them and you are praying for them and Trump really is Jesus Christ. They will believe it all and don't know what the hell a tariff is.
Someone who can stand up to Trump. Canada should impose commensurate tariffs on the US. It would hurt Canadians as much as it would hurt Americans. However, everyone would know that the US started it.
They have started a list that includes Florida orange juice, ceramics, and steel. The list is very specific to cause political fallout in the US.
How did the US start it? Trudeau and his ilk haven't done a damn thing to strengthen the border in the nearly 10 years of their misrule. I don't blame the US for basically saying "Okay, fine. If that's the way you want it." Trudeau refused to act, so Trump is going to. We can either keep our side of the bargain, or get economically pounded into the dirt. What say you?
@Sewtired if canada wanted to truly respond tariff would not be needed but an export tax on critical minerals like potash to which America is 96 % dependent upon canada for, I wonder how their farmers would like it if that would double in price.
@@bigdaddyof2007think of all the free health care!
@@bigdaddyof2007 Or export *bans.* Simply stop selling them the things they need.
Maybe Americans would like to join Canada!
And there is tourism. Canada is the USA's biggest tourists. There is restaurants, hotels, attractions and airlines
And I avoid those things as long as trump is in power.
Many people are already saying they go to the states every year for vacation and now they are choosing to go somewhere else. Also a lot of snowbirds are thinking of selling their American vacation homes.
I know many people that are vowing to not go to the US with their orange Jesus in power.
Who in their right mind wants to vacation in Miami or Vegas from Canada right now and spend $1.43 CDN per 1 US Dollar? Go to Jamaica or Mexico instead. Not USA! All CDN sunbirds need to sell their properties and leave Florida asap or go broke!
About $18 billion was expected this year but......
Alberta is blowing it for us.
Kissing up to a guy like Trump doesn't work

@@terryma2916 Huh, yet it didn't help. Strange......
Also, Trudeau went down to speak to Trump way before Smith did. Nice try.
@ hurting Alberta ? Where have you been these last 10 years of a Trudeau government, if you want to talk hurting Alberta: we have all wanted Alberta to separate, As far as that goes Ontario and Quebec can rot in hell for the continued screwing of Alberta, look closely as you are watching Alberta’s separation from Canada, don’t think so, well the liberals have all but put Carney in the chair and nobody voted for him.
@@terryma2916 Been explained to him over and over. By the feds. By other Americans. Trump is too stupid to understand.
Tarriffs ( bullying ) are not welcome.

We desperately need to find other trade partners. The US is NOT our friend!
You make good arguments and a lot of US business people and political leaders agree, the problem is that the Donald doesn't seem to understand and simply won't listen to these arguments because he has already made up his mind on how things work.....
Don the con is only about padding his own pockets, and the pockets of millionaires. MAGA are too stupid to know that!
Exporting millions of good American jobs to slave wage countries like Communist China 'works' by crushing the American middle-class.
Tax American company profits that flow back to the US.
Day 1.
Ban ALL exports of minerals to USA. CDN goverment will buy/stockpile them for resale at a profit at later date.
2% Export tariff on CDN Oil. to recoup the funding of energy producers like Shell. (read green loans)
Accellerate Import of European cars.
Hmm I feel like 2% is a little low. It would NEVER happen but if we are going to suffer short term wouldn't increasing that tariff to something like 4% with a substantial investment in refining in-country?
Bud there's not going to be any 2% export tariff on CDN oil. Dani's sold us out! Even Albertans are pi$$ed; it's only a minority oil and gas lobby that's looking to appease Donald. But yes, all exports of minerals to US should be halted. They can't mine, and even if they do, it'll take them years to get the resource from the ground. The US armed forces need antimony to make night vision goggles and China's stopped supply of it to the US. They'd now need to get it from Canada. If Donald pushes it, we need to punch him in the face and critical minerals are the way to do that, among other things. Have you stopped buying American yet? I'm thinking I'm going to drop Albertan suppliers for any projects that I'd work on. I'm specifically targeting AB because their Premier couldn't care less about the rest of the nation. Well fair enough, stop buying from AB and soon their own people will turn on her! I chose AB suppliers when I could have bought from ON. Dani's really ticked me off by going to Mar-a-Lago and kissing the ring and not showing a united front. AB needs to pay!
Let the world stop using the US dollar as standard and watch their economy crash 😢. Empires fall, and new ones rise. Maybe it is their time to fall
@femiogunsola5436 China is on that! They have an alliance with 45% of the world’s population, with plans for a joint currency. If Trump had a brain, he’d worry about that 45% and not Canada! He’s going to destroy western countries, and the BRICS+ (China’s friends), will rule the world!
Actually the central banks have started using a basket of currencies. (including the CAD), for this reason: The US debt to gdp ratio is 123% Canada's is 42% this means the US has to borrow massive sums of money to keep their government running, while Canada doesn't. Central banks like stable currencies.
And replace with communist Chinese??
First off, why are we selling them things for cheap just for them to sell it back to us at a mark up. The hell?
They have infrastructure to process certain goods that we do not and vice versa
Because we have a 'resource only' mentality. We do this everywhere. It's just ridiculous
Because we are too nice 🙄, and we depend on them for security. We need to be more independent. Build our military and increase our trade relations across the globe.
Ask the Eastern politicans why the pipe line to the east coast or the northen gateway wasn't built. There was only one choice to sell the oil snd that was to Americans. The government of Canada made billions but could have made much,much more. Trudeau wants to keep oil and natural resouces in the ground. Now you got what you got.
@tinacolbourneart1091 join brics
Canada should diversify to other countries the exports and imports. Rest discussion is temporary remedies
Daniel Smith, Canada's Neville Chamberlain
Canada needs to diversify. Join the BRICS.
I have watched the tariff talk coming from both sides of the border, not a single person who claims to understand them has ever referenced the first across the board tariffs the US ever implemented and the disaster it wrought on the American economy. How can they claim to know these things without studying the 'Smoot Hawley Tariff Act'. It would be an interesting exercise for economists in the know to speculate on ways today's Globalized world trade will amplify the negative consequences to America.
Someone needs to get a big crayon and explain how Tariffs work to Trump
He still won't get it, too dense.
He doesn’t care about his people, only himself.
Canada, Provinces and Municipalities should create insentives for tiny house building and parking or small lots. Focus on affordable housing that helps business, communities and individuals at a lower income level.
So a trade deficit is a subsidy?🙄
Indeed. Showing he has no understanding of trade deficits. Add that to the pile along with tariffs, governance, democracy, climate change, integrity, etc.
Haha. Look deeper, general knowledge will help no one...we need to take more steps to see the truth in all the noise. particularly with tarrifs and political ideologies....
@@jomo4435 ...what are you talking about?
It's all made up bullshit from the "Turd Reich 💩
@jomo4435. Are you an American, or Canadian MAGA? It might help, if you could read.
Thanks for electing a petulant toddler as head of state😢
End the USMCA. Yes it will be tough on Canada in the short run, but that is the problem created by not investing in your own economy and willingly becoming a branch plant vassal state economy under US control. Canada is a country with unlimited natural resources and should be a powerhouse and yet the gov't has turned Canada into a financialized economy where only the FIRE (finance, insurance and real estate) sectors benefit.
canada was founded as a branch plant vassal state; all that’s happened is switching our vassalage from the british empire to the american one
The problem is everyone is reacting to extreme rhetoric with extreme rhetoric. If people wanted independence from the US, then steps should've been taken years ago. The wake up call from 2016-2020 when all of this happened before with steel and aluminum. Wanting sweeping change a week before tariffs are imposed doesn't work either. That's the advantage Trump has under section 232 and he can be as petulant as wants, without oversight under the guise of national security. It will be mutually assured destruction but America holds the nuclear football.
Agree re. the whole “branch plant” point; natural resources are not unlimited.
Canada would be happy to sell our minerals and materials to Germany and France and Denmark and Finland and Japan and South Korea, etc.
All resources belong to Canada that’s right we give you the resources and you know it because the US Don’g know how to find their own they have still from others.
Lets play hardball with Trump . This should be our WAKE UP CALL . Our leaders have let us down for decades . Canada Strong and Free .
Also America has 10 times the population of Canada, is Trump really this stupid? Somsbody make a list of made in America products so Canadians know what not to buy when TSHTF.
Daniele Smith puts Alberta ahead of Canada. Traitor.
Thank you, Jim Stafford.
This conversation is so far above tRump's understanding capabilities. He would be like a deer in the headlights!
You are right self inflicted wound
Let's just stop doing business with them see how he talks then Canada will not be bullied
How do you get Smith to capitulate? Shes too busy kissing the ring, and yet it didn’t help us in Alberta!
As an American, I say screw trump.
Sanctions make brics stronger
I wish canada could just join brics, that would be the easy smart move, not possible while sanctioning brics countries and whatever else
Jim Stanford was the best economist the CAW had . Don't show your hand before the negotiations begin, Like smith did. love him
Crazy how many Trump supporters don’t understand this
Loud and clear 😊👍
For Canada I think an export tax on oil, gas and electricity is the way to go. America is not in the position to immediately close the pipelines or power grid to Canadian exports. Gas prices consumers pay at the pump would immediately jump as would heating bills. 1979 energy spike would return to America. There isn't a politician alive who would not feel the heat from industry paying 30% more for electricity or drivers paying a buck or even 2 bucks more per gallon. Than the huge increase in that winter heating bill. WTI oil price has already spiked $10 a barrel recently some I'm sure is due to Trumps ideas. If the cost of Canadian oil goes up $25 a barrel and Canada disperses that revenue to Canadian consumers I think WTI $90 by May. The rub is, I think Canada should not just accept that 25% duty removal as enough, Trump will be on his back heals and Canada will want more and likely get more. America can't shut down 26% of it refining capacity, they can't buy heavy oil from Venezuela, they have a trade embargo there. Lines at every gas station within a fortnight.
Trump slept through economics.
Trump raised the debt ceiling 3X in four years & added 8 trillion to the debt. Grab your 🍿
Tariff is a tax that will be paid by the consumers. US consumers will suffer from hyper inflation, higher housing prices and so on starting feb 2025. Buckle up, you're in for a crazy ride.
Canada needs to join BRICS
Good luck with that ! You will by 3 pencils instead one at a bigger cost if you live talking about pollution also
The BRICS are a mess? Absolutely not. The UK, Australia, New Zealand, or the EU might be better options.
The Fascist Alliance? I think my friend below is correct about Commonwealth and other democratic leaning countries

Trump's policies had been viewed by many experts as more positive for the financials sector, spurring this massive rally. It's enticing to consider purchasing some stocks, I'm contemplating investing more than $300k. Thoughts?
It seems like there's potential, but caution is warranted. hence I will advice you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points
I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started investing. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over 90% in a little over a year, my advisor chooses entry and exit orders
Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve my financial goals
Lisa Grace Myer is the licensed advisor I use and i'm just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
When dad and mom argues on whos providing more, it's the child that usually gets the bill.
What about talking about the issues such as immigaration, drugs, guns etc.
Americans guns are coming into Canada
That would be the smart thing to do. That's why it's never mentioned by our politicians or our media.
On a per capita basis we buy 8X more from them then they do from us. Trade deficit cannot be looked at without considering population size. This should be said every time we discuss this topic.
Hey Trump you want something from Canada? You can have Danielle Smith maybe rent her a room at Mar-a-largo!!!!!!!
The big reason there is a trade deficit now is oil. Canadian oil is cheap for the US to buy. The US refineries need heavy oil and they don't have much so they get it from Canada. Take out oil and the US has a surplus balance of trade with Canada. Canada needs to build the Gateway oil pipeline to increase oil exports to other countries. The New Shell LNG facility will be completed in 2025. Japan would be a perfect customer for Canadian natural gas.
Canada will defend its country where a very proud country but don't forget Mexico Mexico has played a very vital part in the South and the North
Trump’s head is like a bingo machine. Idiotic thoughts bounce around inside his skull until they fall out his mouth.
Yup - Danielle Smith folded when she held a full house. She paid asking price. Terrible negotiator.
the gov of canada would send periodic relief checks out to offset tariffs for low incom canadians, trump would not, so belies the porblem for low income americans... 😮
Jim Standford , thanks for the info Sir.. And yes Smith is a turncoat .. Canadians must stand together bottom line....
So why can't Canada convert the raw materials like the US does?
For 4 years of the previous Trump Presidency, I did not go to or pass through the US. I just didn't feel comfortable. I'm getting that feeling again....
What happened to our FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS US MEX CAN?
I was always behind Danielle Smith, but what an embarrassment she turned out to be and a traitor to Canada the only premier in Canada, that’s not on board disgusting
SMITH IS A TRAITOR
What a doofus that Danielle Smith. If someone from America came to Canada to negotiate concessions they would of been prosecuted.
I suggest we tell Trump where to shove $7 billion worth of F35s and buy the Gripen from our allies in Sweden.
Exactly. Sure, we'll increase defence spending, but we'll avoid US defence contractors.
Amen Jim

THe conservatives won't be able to do anything more than the Liberals. Smith has a stomach full of Trump's DNA and not even that would help. (though she did it just because she wanted to)
PP is as much a MAGA, as Danielle Smith. The 2 of them will sell out Canada. To quote Trudeau, there’s not a snowballs chance in hell I’ll vote PP, and I’m from Alberta!
I pay for parking in Vancouver, CA , to the USA????
All these talking heads are just ignoring the obvious. Trump wants auto manufacturers back in Michigan. Full stop. Why should Canada manufacture cars to USA when their head offices are in USA?
Because they sell a *lot* of vehicles here. The agreement has always been that building them here gave them duty-free access to our market, while people building elsewhere were charged an import duty. That's why Toyota and Honda opened plants in Canada, for example.
But hey, if that's how Trump wants to play, then we freeze out any US-made vehicles... and drop the barriers for, say, vehicles from China.
Canadian and American auto industries have been integrated since the 1965 Auto Pact. Since then the general rule is that the US imports as many cars from Canada as they sell in Canada. This deal has worked well for both countries for 60 years.
@geraldbrowne Don the con wants far more than cars manufactured in the US. China quit selling them rare minerals, so the con needs to annex Canada and Panama, so he has access to our rare minerals. He also talks about the water tap in Canada. In Alberta, we’ve been on water rations for watering our lawns for years. Once the glaciers are gone, there is no water, and yet Arizona, Nevada and Californians all have swimming pools. They need to quit wasting water, just like Calgary did last summer. Then I might feel sorry for them, but Americans are gluttons. It’s always America first. They take advantage of everyone!
Because Canadians are more tech savvy and better educated. If you look at what is manufactured where, you would the the delicate and complicated parts are made in Canada. Simple stuff that needs to be made in bulk is in Mexico, and the other stuff is in the US.
@@Dstinct Europe may be the answer for canadian auto. Europe is trying to get away from Chinese ev's. Ontario is pouring a huge amount of money into battery production. Ontario is one of the few jurisdictions with the entire supply chain from mining to recycling . They also have the CEDA free trade deal with the EU.
You have to increase the digital tax if they don't back off not concede it back.
Has anyone else noticed the media only talks about tariffs but they don't talk about the securing the border which is the reason behind the tariffs.
That's Trump's *excuse* - not the *reason.* By claiming it has to so with "national security" he can use an executive order and bypass restrictions that might otherwise slow or stop implementation.
It's what he did last time over aluminum and steel.
(And BTW, if you bothered paying attention, there actually *has* been a lot of effort made on the border security issue - not that Trump will care.)
NO IT ISNT HE SAID NO ITS TRADE DEFICIT INSTEAD AFTER THEY STARTED DOING BORDER STUFF AND GOING BACK TO HIM AMD HE SAID THE ECONOMIC FORCE IS FORCE ANNEXING
Trump also wants to annex Canada, Geeenland, and Panama. He wants Canada’s water and rare minerals, without paying for them. With Don the con, nothing is as it seems!
@@Doug-tc2px Trump’s border issue is a ruse.
Hypocrite Trump didn't care when people were crossing from New York State to Roxham Rd in Quebec.
trump thinks America is the Centre of the universe he is going to be in for a rude shock
Jim Stanford was spot on, particularly why should the Alberta Premier meet with President Elect Trump as he said, when everyone knows the outcome.
Like listening to BNN daily.
At the end of the day, since the Canadian dollar is worth 33% less, it’s obvious more Americans will buy cheaper Canadian goods than the other way. You can’t have it both ways.
Well said.
A 100% tariff for trump and the US a gift from Canada
Excellent ✅
I am canceling 2 subscriptions to financial services on january 21 if tariffs and instead going with Canadian services, cause i'm pissed now. The 2 subscriptions are worth $400 usd $575 Canadian, being that I live in northern BC I use Amazon a lot, tariffs would really encourage Canadian e-commerce in Canada to put a 25 % tariff on Amazon. I have made tools purchases for my business from a company in Ontario called Atlas tools in the past and been very happy with their service and prices and I don't care so much if they are sourcing from America because they are Canadian I am dealing with a Canadian company might have to do, but hopefully they source out Canadian suppliers to supply me.
