Apparently Bush implemented steel tariffs in 2002 and it was a disaster and repealed in 2003. I'm not a Trump fan but I thought how he presented the steel tariffs was ok except for the grandstanding with the steel industry employees brought in. However, I'm waiting for the NAFTA shoe to drop to...

Job creation momentum began under Obama; my memory was something like 10 million jobs created since the bottom. There is a big difference between taking over a country when it's in a huge US financial crisis ( the worst in our lifetime ) and years into a recovery. The true test of Trump and his...

Trump will do whatever he does, and people will adapt. In some ways, when bad decisions are made, the reasons they are bad decisions become more clear and the correct path comes into focus. Poster "Jem" has been complaining about his $7K in medical insurance premiums. That's a real life impact...

I bet most of them will do very well in life and can easily afford their homes. You just can't relate to their success. My daughter is 24 and already makes $100K US, already paid off all her student loans, and is on a nice career path. The current economy works well for certain people, not so...

Are you really so clueless to think the US can just pull out of NAFTA and not suffer serious immediate consequences ? Even Trump has an inkling on this.

The claim was made by the other poster that it was "tanking". I addressed that claim. You don't have deeper connections in Canada then I do. That is very clear by the bs you post about Canada on this site. In fact, you just come across as an uneducated baboon on the topic.

The point is our economy is not tanking on any measure. If anything, Toronto is strong right now.

Did you read what he wrote. Seriously, what he says is nothing close to what you have been saying.

Our economy is not tanking; in a recent time period we had the strongest economic growth in the G7. Our government is actively encouraging a lower dollar, and has done so since it was over par. We also raised interest rates in advance of the US, and further hikes are coming. They prevented a...

There is no point in your fanciful predictions you can't make money off of them. I said before we wouldn't see negative interest rates in the US in our lifetime, and that rates would slowly climb over multiple years. I said that in 2015 before the first US hike. I can't see SPX going to 1200 in...

Again, I couldn't care less about Oil, I don't live in Alberta and my immediate family is in IT related careers. Toronto has an expanding IT sector ( 4th largest IT hub in North America ); maple syrup isn't even on the map. We also have the banks which seem to be buying up US interests since...

In a trade war scenario, Canada would end the right for US professionals to work in Canada taking away employment opportunities for qualified Canadians. That is how protectionism works. Don't worry, we'll somehow find Oil for our cars and IT guys for our companies, we aren't really short on...

I never meant we'd ship all the Oil elsewhere. We'd shutter a big part of that industry. Jobs would be lost and it would be bad for Alberta. Our economy would take a short term hit but so would yours. We'd adapt as we always do, our economy was in much worse shape in the past. The US buys the...

I don't live in Alberta and Oil means nothing to me. I also have zero personal exposure to US trade deals. So don't get "cocky" making empty threats. Canada is on the upswing and saw much tougher days in the 1980s when inflation was huge, the federal debt was huge, and we had even less diversity...

You are wrong, we run a trade deficit with the US and without NAFTA on the Canadian part your economy wouldn't be as strong. The more you talk about getting railroaded or taken advantage of by Canada ( a ridiculous claim ), the more you encourage Canada to just decide you guys are nuts let's...

Enough of this bs, you are a clown. You have been forecasting a major correction or crash every year for 9 years. When the SPX was 1900 and change, you said a 40-60% crash was imminent. Markets then rallied up 40-50%. You couldn't have been more wrong. Even in the worst case scenario, US...

Consumer prices will go up immediately if the tariffs stick. Certain sectors of the US economy are already being restrained by new tariffs; US home builders need Canadian lumber but it's artificially expensive now. Trump has no idea what he is doing. Everyone else is scrambling trying to...

He's extremely ignorant and can't help himself. It's just a small step from his usual bigotry to open racism. This time he slipped up and crossed the line. He's a walking, talking example of how some states and rural areas in the US have poor education standards and have a lot of people who...

The US is basically nuts right now with this liberal vs conservative nonsense. You never see this kind of conversation in Canada, there is no attempt to categorize people by their political beliefs and in particular these polarizing "us vs them" talking points.

You seem uneducated and disrespectful on many topics. When it comes to WW2, it's pretty obvious.
