In the private sector sick days etc are similar to the US. In the public sector sick days depends on the strength of union bargaining and I have seem some really ridiculous contracts given out with days off etc.

One thing that Trump has done to Canada is set alight the patriotism that was so sadly lacking in recent years.

Would love to see mining unleashed in many of the desolate areas of Canada which are many.

The “ring of fire” in Northern Ontario is just about to come on line after the provincial government agreed to build a road from the site. This area has much promise and loads of materials for battery production.

China is busy locking up mines in Africa and South America. The US will need us to ramp up our mining.

Excuse spell check

should have read average incomes in Ontario only higher than one state Mississippi

He did mention rare earths need to be protected but I came in behind that conversation. Trudeau is a puppet and socialist and not a capitalist.

I don’t even know why they call people in capitalists city’s socialist. What they are is the socialists supply chain looting your country and giving it to them. Now Mexico and Asia has your jobs and many of ours too, especially Asia. It’s time to get them back.

Many jobs were driven out because of the politicians and lobbyist.  They need low taxes balanced by fair wages without need of unions if that’s possible and protection from unreasonable side factors that have to do with regulations or  globalist like using climate change to sabotage business that drive them away. Remember when they tried to say it was because it was more affordable to outsource and buy China’s cheap copies and why they did it. That was total BS. Companies need and  want to make money not lose it.

China was studying prices and regulation they don’t have for years slowly building a industrial city. I remember talking to someone on a flight decades ago who just got back from China.  She said it was a bit concerning and scary what she saw. According to her there was a whole manufacturing city there where trucks were going in and out day and night and you had to have a pass to get in.

I heard in Germany they have unlimited sick days, and 7 weeks paid vacations. Free medical and free college education. Does Canada have that too?

It was the beginning of a NWO, and the beginning of our loss of independence. Nine eleven was the beginning of the ending of the Fed Res act of 1913. Before 1913 no income tax, maybe a tax on profits and tariffs paid for things here.

Henry Ford started EXPORTING millions of Model Ts and Model As so we got bamboozled into importing.

Living standards have fallen faster in Canada than America. We have lost a very large portion of manufacturing to Mexico and Asia. Indeed in Ontario the largest province in Canada our average names are below all US states except Mississippi. This is partially our fault with socialist policies.
We have shot ourselves in the foot.
As buygold said we have to diversify and end any reliance on the US.
I do feel though that Trump would not be happy if we do an energy deal with China and start shipping our much needed rare earths and Lithium to Asia.
You do need a lot of what we have and your prez knows it.

Just agreed to permanently put 10 thousand Troops on the border. Agreed not to let China send them Fentanyl. Canada’s Trudeau still up in the air. Trump said billions of  our dollars are spend on things we don’t need to buy from them because we have them here like energy, lumbar or american cars made there which he prefers made in the US states. That Europe sells us cars on a one was street but you won’t see American cars in Europe. They won’t take out agriculture but recognized the pesticides involved and has RFK assigned to that. Many of us agree with that and about time. Congress usual suspects don’t want their pharma money stopped. Bernie got over a million from that alone and was that in just one year? Amazing for a guy who was too good to start out at the bottom and do real work and never held a steady job in his life before he got into government Pocahontas said to have gotten 500k

If you’ve been asking yourself questions like, “what cars are made in Canada?”, you may be surprised to learn that the following models are produced not too far away from home:

• Dodge Charger
• Dodge Challenger
• Dodge Caravan
• Chrysler 300
• Chrysler Pacifica
• Chrysler Grand Caravan
• Chevrolet Equinox
• Lincoln Nautilus
• Ford Edge
• Ford GT
• Toyota RAV4
• Lexus RX
• Honda Civic Sedan
• Honda Civic Coupe
• Honda CR-V

Comment: My brand new 1989 Chevy Van was made in Canada, very annoying when I found out.

Thats what it looks like, but the opposite happened, US trade deficits, for the USA, since 1970 was one hell of a huge TAX on Americans. All those trade surpluses for all other nations, for decades has pretty much bankrupted the USA.

Our living standards have been dropping since the 1970 high. High school graduates used to get a job, buy a new car and get married within three years after graduation high school.

All because we were infiltrated by global communists that made us PAY other nations to do our work. Making them wealthier and the USA poorer, re $34 trillion national debt. Globalization is or was global socialism. And it started falling apart with 9/11 the tipping point.

If some unpatriotic anti American wants to buy a new high quality Honda, a new BMW, or a new Volvo, then they and the importing dealers, SHOULD happily pay the tariffs.

I was busy between work and helping people manage Covid back then but remember that NIH was funneling money to another agency that sent the money to the Wuhan Lab. It’s unbelievable the layers of tax dependent jobs throught up and the amount of tax money going out apparently faster than it was coming in.

I hope Musk is assigned  heavy duty secret service protection if he can trust it along with his own.  This is the biggest sting operation in history. It must be now.

You may be right about some protected sectors of the economy. The problem is your prez signed a Free trade agreement heralding great gains some years ago which is due to be reviewed in 2026. He broke his own “great” agreement without even a conversation.

I would love to see areas like telecommunications and banking open up some. As an example our cell rates are among the highest in the world.

I think Trump sees the global tariffs as a means to reduce the budget deficit. It is a tax on Americans through the back door.

Let’s see where the political chips fall

If Trump wants Canada as a 51st State he could be in Ottawa in 20 minutes without a shot fired….Perish the thought

Maybe Canada should consider opening up their markets a little and throw Trump a bone. They currently tariff our dairy products over 250%, similar with pork products. Obviously they do that to protect their farmers. How about they drop them to 25%? Maybe better prices for Canadian consumers.

There’s the rub right? The world freaks out when we want to protect our jobs and make things here but has no problem taxing the crap out of our goods. Literally every western country does that to us.

I worked in the nuclear industry. The hoops we had to jump through to do business there were unbelievably onerous. As a small business with 300 people I came back and told the owner we were wasting our time.

USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab—research that likely led to the creation of COVID-19.

The CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID’s long history of serving as a CIA front organization.

And that’s exactly what Canada should do, double output, increase production and diversify their customer base. Run the country like a business.
Trump’s war is on the Globalists, Trudeau cares nothing about Canadians as you well know. He and his ilk care about control.

This is the auto hub between Canada and the US. Some of the car parts pass through the border upwards of 7 times. The effect of this with just in time inventory will jam up the car production and lay off up to potentially a million jobs in this sector. Not good news here……

I heard Canada and Mexico were in talks with President Trump last night.

Last I heard is that Asian countries are lining up to take the oil and gas from Canada! Are they stupid?

With Trudeau out of the way they could double output in five years and ship to the East out of the already built pipeline.

Dog

Maybe Canada has decided to play ball? Maybe Trumps PPT is playing paper games? Maybe the Saudi’s decided to fill the gap with cheap oil?

So much winning!

Whoops they just dropped the hammer on pm’s as Mexico caved.

The airport doesn’t have a independent reading. It gets the reading off the aircraft altimeter. If the aircraft has a wrong reading the tower will get a wrong reading. Since the tower got a wrong reading it wasn’t off. There’s no autocorrect to alert them.  Although I can see why with autocorrects.

It’s a critical instrument all the way through. If it was set wrong and off a 100 feet it would throw off every factor of the flight. False reading  high your running into power lines and buildings. Too low your running into airplanes. That’s not to mention landing. They think their 200 feet up and landing and there really 300ft up.

The young are like revved up motors ready to go. I don’t think there’s too many of us looking back anyways who haven’t though they were invincible unconsciously at least one time in their life.  They need to learn how to control and direct that energy in a meaningful, strategic  and skillful way when learning and also know when to slow down and do things right the first time. Part of their test should be recognizing for safety reasons when to ask for clarification or help and not be in a hurry and guessing.  Every upcoming pilots and current trainees should watch that video with pilot Blackstone.

Giving a little boost to the SM. Shouldn’t hurt pm’s either.

Interesting that bonds are rallying. They normally would but they’ve been so weak lately. Wondering if now that Trump is back and Musk and DOGE are shredding waste and fraud, if the world finds the U.S. a more attractive bet?

I’m wondering if this is more of a currency/inflation/safety play with gold and even silver to a lesser extent. Gold is obviously holding silver up at the moment.

Right now the world’s currencies are cratering against the dollar and might really start to hurt demand for those two industrial metals. Just a guess.

Assuming that the USA would like to obtain Greenland we should

obtain it by peaceful means only (91%, 29 Votes)
We don’t want it screw em! (6%, 2 Votes)
I don’t know (3%, 1 Votes)
obtain it by force if necessary (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 32
