• negotiate and get the tariffs dropped.

    From August Abolins@1:153/757.21 to Rob Mccart on Mon Apr 14 19:33:00 2025
    Hello Rob!

    Well, Canada can do what many other countries have done:
    negotiate and get th
    tariffs dropped.

    Right.. he's offered us 2 ways out of it. To either move
    all our car plants to the USA, and lose 125,000 direct
    jobs and many times that support jobs, or join the USA as
    the 51st state..

    The offer is ridiculous. T is not interested in a win-win
    arrangement respecting existing countries and economies. If is antics/strategies can't show more jobs and lower cost of living
    for USA citizens, the Rep party has a little to no chance in
    getting re-elected next time around.


    I'm not sure why Pierre Poilierve would be of much use.
    Mostly he is more like Trump than the others. [...]

    That said, Mark Carney is a banker and will cause problems
    of his own. He is still ahead for the past 4 or 5 weeks
    [...]

    Carney seems to be more level-headed and calm than PP.

    PP is a master complainer. He hasn't actually shown HOW he
    intends to implement all the wonderful stuff he says Canadians
    *should* have.

    Yes, if his ideas stay in place it will likely be many years before
    they start to show any positive results, other than Trump's gov't
    taking in hundreds of $Billion in tariff money.

    True, although he is trying to back off on that now that he's
    seen how much he bugs a lot of people, especially women.

    No, they mentioned that after the debate tonight, that everyone
    is making promisses but not explaining how they intend to pay
    for them.

    We won't know for sure until the last vote is counted but the
    current thinking is that Carney is pretty much guaranteed to
    win the election and the battle now is for whether he wins it
    with a Majority of seats or not..

    Popular vote polls shows him 5 or 6% ahead, but when it comes to
    who will win more seats, the difference is even more in his favour.
