How has Canada been screwing us? They have goods and resources we want and need and they sell it to us at a fair market price without currency manipulation. Both sides benefit.

Maybe they should stop depending on the USA.

Sounds like a good time to find other trade partners to me.

They should start with finding a new Pharmaceutical Partner.

Don't forget their leftist actors. What would we ever do without all of them?

Unfortunately for you, he isn’t wrong but you as usual are. If I were wrong as often as you are, I would quit posting or speaking for the rest of my life

To be far, Rog is in need of a lobotomy now that Trump has been elected twice. He is a broken man

If GM wants to buy German Steel, why does the government need to be involved?
because that is a duty/power assigned to the federal government in our constitution…

The real take away from the video clip is why is the U.S. subsidizing Canada $200-$250 billion a year?

The US is not subsidizing Canada. Trump was saying that the trade deficit amounts to the US subsidizing them. Of course that’s not true. But as folks have pointed out on here, Trump is setting up for negotiations on tariffs.

Until the 1970s the US ran trade surpluses with the rest of the world. Was the rest of the world subsidizing the US? Of course not. Today the US runs a trade surplus with The Netherlands; are they subsidizing the US?

Do we really need their lumber? Have you ever driven through the American southeast? It’s one solid pine tree. Admittedly I’m ignorant to the hardwood industry.
Yeah stop buying Canadian lumber so maybe I can find someone to thin my pine plantation.

Every single thing they have is a MUST SELL to the US, or their economy collapses overnight

You are being obtuse - oversight of interstate and international trade is a power reserved and assigned to the federal government

You may not like our constitution, but it says what it says

That just sounds incorrect, lol. Not really even plausible.
