U.S. survey says 2 Americans surveyed oppose tariffs to every one who supports them ....
And why?
Interesting split in perceptions ....
And why?
Interesting split in perceptions ....
- "60 per cent of Canadians say the U.S. is the countries most important trading partner. Just 13 per cent of Americans say the same of Canada.
- That said, two-thirds of U.S. respondents say that the trade relationship between the two countries benefits each close to equally. Half in Canada say this, while 37 per cent say the U.S. derives more benefit from trade
- Asked what they consider “victory” in this trade conflict with Trump, 64 per cent of Canadians say no tariffs at all. Eight per cent say lower levels of tariffs would be a win, while one-in-five say there is no winning."

The people in Industry are scared right now. I know because I talk to them on the regular. The Government & Politicians will puff their chests out but the reality is far different.A good example of bad economic policies driving business out of Canada, which will make us even more vulnerable to any tariff action by the US.
This review is likely too little, too late, and focused on the wrong issues e.g., the high cost of doing business in a socialist and actively anti-private sector culture

And the Americans aren’t going sit back and watch the CCP get any more control of a resource rich nation on their border.

He's got an altered sense of time too, apparently:
Can Donald Trump put an end to the war in Ukraine?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated him in a post on X, in which he recalled their face-to-face talks in New York City in September. “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer,” Zelenskyy wrote.
However, as the moment of Trump’s return to the White House keeps getting closer, the 47th president of the United States of America might have given it another thought and another timeline. What started as “24 hours”’ has now turned into half a year.
In a rather harsh reality check, Trump said a six-month timeline for ending the war was more realistic. Ukraine's former Economy Minister Tymofiy Mylovanov told Euronews that this timeline revision is a good sign for Kyiv.
Can Donald Trump put an end to the war in Ukraine?
As Donald Trump returns to the White House, questions are being asked about arguably his most ambitious campaign promise: to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Since then, it seems like Trump might have given it another thought and a new timeline. Could it be good news for Ukraine? #EuropeNews

Not sure about that. It might be better phrased as MSM's narrative of DJT's world view is not coherent.
Trump has already got Hamas/Israel closer to hostage release, there is talk of a Ukraine/Russia ceasefire with UK/French troops monitoring a buffer... Provinces in Canada are clamoring to increase border security (since the LPC doesn't really care)... Mexico is doing something about the migrant caravans... just off the top of my head, that seems like a lot before even taking office....
If that falls apart and it looks like it is , will that be on Trump? I have no doubt that BB knows he’s going to get pressured by JT. I think though is Warhawk allies in his parliament DGAF.
Day one? Doubtful.
despite the fact that the feds have poured 1.6 billion into it. Something something narrative…
Until the midterms when caravans will suddenly mysteriously be back
Sure. They’ll also take credit for the sun coming up in the morning too.
