"The Chinese government, for example, has been asking our companies what sort of things are you importing to China from the U.S. that you cannot find anywhere else and so would shut down your supply chain," American Chamber of Commerce in China President Michael Hart said on Friday.

Some companies represented by the U.S. business group have reported that they had imported goods in the past week without the new tariffs being applied, Hart said.

The chief executive of French aircraft engine maker Safran said on Friday it had been informed last night that China had granted tariff exemptions on "a certain number of aerospace equipment parts," including engines and landing gear."

Even Fox News...IMO, GOOD!

"A man who came into office vastly exaggerating the mandate that voters had just given him — and has governed accordingly — appears to have, per public polling, squandered whatever mandate he was given with his brazen actions. And indicators are increasingly dire on a number of significant policy fronts for him.

Multiple polls this week showed Trump hitting new lows. His approval rating has been double-digits underwater in surveys from the Pew Research Center (minus-19), Economist-YouGov (-13), Reuters-Ipsos (-11) and now Fox News (-11)."

 
I'm struggling not to hate, between trump being a Russian Allie and his 51st state comments and the tariffs in the news every day it's just bringing out anger. We all know when Cheetos got elected it was going to be bad but never expected this much bs. How do we as Canadians over come out feelings of being hammered every day with this it's on the news on the coffee shop it's parents talking as they pick up their kids from school . It's going to be a good few more years before he's gone if we are lucky.some of the maga members are really pushing buttons now. . its kinda sad when China looks like the better trade partner then the USA. I really wish other provinces follow Manitoba and start stopping the flow of energys flowing to the USA. The only people I really fell bad for is point roberts they are more like Canadians.jmvho

You could thank your lucky stars that you don't live south of our common border and have pity on us.

We have no idea what he is doing from day to day, but all indicators are that people who really matter in the US economy, the US education system, the US healthcare ans disesease surveillance system, the US senior programs, the US disaster prep and response organizations, the US climate and weather forecasting system, the US military and defense system, et alI - none of them have any idea what is going to happen next.

Debilitating Uncertainty has truly set in.

All us peons can gauge is from supermarket prices or from our savings and retirement funds. Waiting for the next shoe to drop.

At least Trump is not your president. Make sure someone like him isn't elected. Where I live, there are people who approve of his approach. I'd never vote for them.
 
I mean, at a time I should be working in my garden and getting my house painted, I am following the World Cargo News website.
Our world in America has become almost like a drug. Everyday I think I'm not going to look at any news, I can't handle anymore of this and then I finally break, turn the news on and crash and burn. I hate him and his enablers!

The USA Government likes to wear people down. The USA government does it on a daily basis in the USA, and is now trying that same dirty trick with Canadians. Those people down South are bombarded on a daily basis with propaganda messages that they are victims of immigrants, Canadians, Europeans, China, cheaters, unfairness, theft ... They are supposed to feel so helpless that their only hope is to turn to the USA government to solve the problem - no questions asked.

Canadians are not accustomed to daily verbal assaults of doom and gloom, so it is unsettling. However, we need to remember that, although the USA declared war on Canada in February - meaning life will become difficult for a while, we will land on our feet. We need to look at what we can do as individuals - boycott USA and USA products, no unnecessary spending for a while, don't listen to USA propaganda, realize that the USA government is in chaos as they destroy democracy. They will self-destruct if they remain on this path.

Look at this disgustingly disrespectful nonsense. The man cannot say anything without immediately contradicting himself while speaking in sentence fragments:

"The president sat down for an interview with Time magazine, during which a reporter suggested Trump may have been “trolling a little bit” with his repeated comments that Canada should be absorbed into the United States.

Actually, no, I’m not,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday.

“I think Canada, what you said that, ‘Well, that one, I might be trolling.’ But I’m really not trolling,” Trump added. “Canada is an interesting case.”

The president repeated his frequent claims that the U.S. is losing money to Canada because of trade deficits and that there is no need for America to import Canadian products.

“We’re taking care of [Canadian] military.
...

The president told Time that Greenland “would be very well off if they — I think it’s important for us for national security and even international security.”​

idk if im the only one with this thought, but to me personally, i think what makes it worse is the fact that the average american voter is not evil, rather the avg voter here is just incredibly uneducated, and, sorry to say, *very* stupid. not even as an insult, but in a pitiful way. its very sad how uneducated many are here.

Please remember that 79,999,166 people that voted did NOT vote for Trump.

In 2020, Biden had more votes than Trump and he also had more votes in 2020 than Trump did in 2024.

The number of people that Trump won by is quite small. It's that damm Electoral College stuff that makes it look bigger.

The question is, what is going to change about that in four years? To me it's interesting to see people admit that they made a mistake. Is it just because they were negatively affected themselves? Then there are others who put ideological issues before anything, including the economy and would vote the same again.

Despise that electoral college stuff. RUINED our country, the people did NOT vote t in.. the electoral college did.. THEY mostly have NO idea what that even is.
 

Execution Matters

When the Trans Mountain expansion (TMX) began shipping last year, the discount on Canadian oil narrowed immediately. LNG Canada with the Coastal GasLink pipeline will soon deliver our first natural gas exports to Asia — generating 100,000 jobs and billions in tax revenues every year for the next 60 years. But it took more than a decade to approve and complete these projects.
 
Lots of deranged answers:


But I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there. And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.
