I have numerous people blocked I couldn't care less. Dum dums like TreeFrogTrader are just a running example of how horribly uneducated some Americans are. Isn't Maine a colony of Nova Scotia ? I just heard that our PM quietly reminded Trump at one point that if he blocked some of the masks going to Canada we could shut down some of our power exports to certain states. End of block.
The rumor actually was that Trump knew that
Canada was the largest foreign supplier of crude
oil to the
U.S., accounting for 48% of total
U.S. crude
oil imports and for 22% of
U.S. refinery crude
oil intake.
Canada exported 3.7 million barrels per day to the
U.S. in 2019, 98% of all
Canadian crude
oil exports.
- Yet, Trump was surprised to learn that Canada exports about 8% of the electricity it generates to the United States...more so to the Northeast United States.
I don't know if it was the Prime Minister that reminded Trump about the above facts but I'm sure at least someone from Canada that's in Washington D.C. reminded Trump about the above facts.
A few other notable facts, in Trump new home state of Florida...Canada spends a
few billion dollars each year in Florida alone with a slowly growing income expenditures in Cuba and Mexico. That's a lot of money that can easily be diverted from Trump's home state to Cuba or Mexico especially as more Canadians are having 2nd homes in those countries.
That's negotiation power towards Canada regardless what was huffed/puffed about in the public.
As for Ford, he has always seen his province as very problematic with Covid from Day 1...never seen an statements of him pretending they were better than any other country. More important, I do remember him once stating that vaccines (vaccination) could be used by some countries (he didn't name any specific country) to use in trade negotiations which is something he strongly opposed.
- The title of this thread and several different discussions in this thread in comparison to the title is just a trolling topic by a troll that someone had butt hurt.
The trolling is obvious when the topic was changed multiple times in this thread by the troll as he attempts to create multiple sub-threads inside of the thread topic.
I actually "like" this thread because it gives recognition and exposure to the things that the United States is arguably dependent upon from Canada that many seem to take for granted.
