Canada's largest trading partner has become unstable, and that was Canada's mistake. Trade deals are meaningless , when it changes with the wind. time for Canada to get its oil and gas, and other products to tide water, on both the east and west coasts. were do Canadians think the bulk of the equalization payments come from???
Remember that the Ukraine war will be ending shortly and Russia will be looking "very aggressively" at European and Asian markets to sell its oil and gas. Their plentiful oil and gas is already overseas. Not sure what the plan is for Canada getting it's product to tidal water then......who are we going to sell to???
@@rmartin5285 Yes it takes 10 years to build a solid market and be ready for a crisis . Canada has fallen back . Didant have to fall back but it chose to .
Joy..our government is *proactive"..drives me nuts. Serious issues: it's always the same..imigration..homelessness..taxation, lack of affordable housiing. I tuned you out when you uttered those words. Work for Canadians damn it!!!
How about the government in Quebec allow a pipeline to be built across Quebec to allow our Alberta oil to reach tidewater on the east coast of Canada. Quebec is eager enough to accept equalization payments from Alberta but don't want a pipeline across their ' Belle ' province. We could then give the middle finger to Trump.
Canada already exports 150,000 barrels a day to the UK on ships leaving the Houston port. The keystone pipeline comes to Cushing OK and then the oil is put on another pipeline to Houston. It'd be cheaper to just pay us a 25% tariff on that oil and continue exporting through Houston. Canada will continue exporting their oil and we get a little pocket change at the same time.
A Tariff war between nations is a zero-sum game that nobody wins. Impacted consumers and voters should encourage their elected representatives to focus on improved communication and negotiation, as opposed to increasing taxation or deficit spending. Our elected representatives should collaboratively build strategic plans with institutional investors and savvy blue chip private sector organizations to become more productive, cost effective, and nimble enough to diversify their supply chains and target markets to avoid or minimize exposure to tariff wars. The overall objective would be to improve Canada's domestic supply chain resilience. Reducing taxes and state bureaucracy would also help in this regard.
War, War, War, you and David Eby. What jokers you both are. Canadians lose everything if it came to war and the Americans gain it all. In 1 whole hour.
Declare national emergency. Mobilize troops, reserves and contractors to build up 4 or 5 pipelines in three month. Triple our oil production in a couple of years. Double our mineral output. Put 100% tariff on all US import goods. Then we can slowly start to manufacture all products ourselves and diversify our market all over the world. We have the resources and technology knowhow. We can produce everything, from plane , cell phone, computer to AI. I can not think of anything we must to buy from US. It takes guts to make decisive decisions in national crisis. Drill baby drill, dig baby dig, it's time to fully use our resources to save our nation.
There is a solution for military bases. Invite 30 NATO nations to build bases in Canada. We already have some like Germany, US and Sweden. Up it to 30 countries and 60 bases. Their own country pays their soldier salaries. But the soldiers buy Canadian products. Plus, we can add 1 million new troops from all over the world which provides exceptional protection. Canada just donates the land for bases. And give the new army's a deal on products until the base is up and running. I was stationed in Lahr Germany. My gov't paid my salary and I spent my money in Germany. When the base in Lahr shut down, that really hurt Lahr, demonstrating how much Canadians actually spent there. As for the 1 million I talked about, Canada needs to have at least 500,000 new army, navy and air force to be more protected. Should do a call to arms now.
WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE? TRUDEAU AINT LISTENING! Hundreds of billions of dollars being invested since Trump elected. Investment coming to Canada????😮😮😮😮
My view is that the Americans are taxing themselves and it’s none of our buisiness. The Americans need our resources, our labour, and our customer base. Let them exhaust themselves! Let’s net get drawn in, and loose our cool.
The USA pays the Tarrifs as it has since the Great Depression, Tarrifs have never worked. We could avoid selling anything at all to the USA and lower any Tarrifs to China or Mexico.
The government in charge make a big mistake, depending on one big trading partner. Should expand and accept more tradings with others countries. All citizens should united, stop travelling to America and cut down on buying their products.
We shouldn’t do a single thing. Well. We should pull out of the WTO and create a new multilateral trading organization that puts all nations on an equal playing field and has all nations retaliate against attacks against one. But asides that, let him put the tariffs, and let the CAD drop like a bad habit. His companies will pay a tariff, we’re still going to get our goods out at the same amount we get now and we will be less inclined to purchase US goods because they will be too expensive
Canadian big companies do not like to compete or reduce prices. They are monopoly by design. They do not like to sell it to domestic market either. Like many lumber companies, they simply shut down or just goes to hibernation. Just like the reporter said, they simply sit on cash and do not do anything. Lol!! Everything I said, Is applicable to big companies only. I can understand the position of small business owner or companies.
I was born and raised in Sri Lanka but left in my tender age I contributed my tax to Canada My recent trip to Sri Lanka I open bank account because of forex Big cities foreign exchange store is available ( private ) pay more money regular banks pay less The reason I open the account exchange foreign currency disadvantage areas . Then again banks said you must pay Sri Lankan tax I said no After long argument they said you don’t have to pay tax .
If Trump doesn't want Canadian products, then we don't want American businesses in Canada. If tariffs go in we should boycott all American brands and businesses in Canada, anyone shopping at Walmart or Costco should go elsewhere and support Canadian owned businesses like Canadian Tire, London Drugs, Loblaws, etc. I know I will.
Why? I'm Canadian, and after how I saw the majority of Canadians acting like Germans in 1930's Germany towards others, I will do nothing to help this nation out any longer.
Would you put all your savings into one stock? Our government is like a fund manager that does precisely that. They should be doing everything possible to diversify trade to prevent this sort of thing from happening. If they are not delivering results, they need to go. Get it done, or find another job.
Trump wants more tax cuts for the wealthy here in the states. He is somewhat aware that he can’t rack up huge debt or cause pain to American voters. So I think he is going to try to shake down American’s allies and get them to pay for the tax cuts. And he wants to be remembered. Trump is a disgrace.
Trump believes that if he can crash Canada's economy and bring us to verge of bankruptcy we will join the US just like the Republic of Texas did when it went bankrupt back in the 1800s. I reckon that he wants his name in the history books next to Jefferson and Seward.
That's WHY more countries are joining BRICS + .... More Canadians are speaking out LOUD to look at the BRICS+ membership list and wonder which is better ? 1) To become the 51st State inside the control of Trump's Republican Party? 2) Look at an application to join BRICS + ? 3) Remain strong by breaking down interprovincial barriers and 100% free trade inside Canada ?
Well, we should have prepared during the good times and built a strong diverse economy with little to no debt dragging us down. Instead, we allowed every activist and emotionally driven basketcase to dictate policy, attack businesses, spend like a banshee and, in effect, to put us in a very exposed position.
I would like to see us suspend trade to the U.S. in a few months if possible and if Trump continues with this. Can Canada trade with Britain, Germany & S.Korea for auto parts and proposing they consider auto manufacturing plants a Canada similar to Toyota. Trade Mexico for fruit and vegetables for our winter months.
Yes they already prepared to print more Canadian money and spend on all business...even they don't need it... government just want to have excuse to print more money
Under the right leader it should be, but we are not currently. Look at the country falling apart over this idiots threats. If Canada was strong we would just ignore his threats and build infrastructure needed to remove dependency to Americans
Canada has a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs to protect American auto. Which company specifically? Tesla. Does this make sense? Tesla does not manufacture anything in Canada. Elon Musk financed Trump. Tesla's largest competitor is BYD, and they're building a plant in Mexico. Maybe they'd be willing to build a plant in Canada. Maybe there should be more competition in the EV space. Maybe there should be more industry that America has no control over. Maybe our government should do what's in our interest rather than doing what's best for America.
Those traffics should be removed! Why protect shitty American cars. Instead out the tarrifs on American cars since the giant orange wants to take those jobs out of Canada.
Can you tell if grocery prices are going up or not ? If up, by how much ?? If you can’t tell this is information, all this time listening to this video was useless
Brining on the lefty friend of JT professor is a very poor choice of guest for BNN a "business" network. All we got was defense of the Liberal talking points and no business analysis.
Trump is a LIAR. If 🇨🇦Canada was smart it would consider joining the EMERGING BRICS ECONOMIES which include China, Russia, India and UAE which is going off the USD.. As it stands now Canada sells 98% of its LNG and 60% of its Natural Resources to the USA for very low prices. The idea that the United States “subsidizes” Canada to the tune of $200 billion annually is an erroneous interpretation of the economic and energy relationship between the two nations. This claim lacks the analytical rigor necessary to withstand scrutiny when we consider the facts. First, Canada is a critical supplier of energy to the U.S., providing a substantial portion of its crude oil and natural gas needs. Approximately 60% of U.S. crude oil imports come from Canada, most notably from Alberta's oil sands, a resource that represents a significant part of Canada's energy production CANADA ENERGY REGULATOR . The United States also imports 98% of Canada’s natural gas, an essential resource that powers homes and industries across the U.S. during the colder months EIA . This energy exchange is a matter of mutual necessity, not a one-sided dependency. The term "subsidy" implies one party is providing financial support to the other. In this context, it is crucial to distinguish between a trade relationship and a financial aid arrangement. The energy Canada provides is not given as a charity or a handout; it is sold at market prices, reflecting the value of the resources being exchanged. The United States, in return, exports over $300 billion in goods to Canada annually, including vehicles, machinery, and technology EIA . This reciprocal trade benefits both economies and underpins millions of jobs on both sides of the border. Furthermore, Canada’s defense contributions are often undervalued in discussions like these. Canada is not merely a passive recipient of American protection; the two countries cooperate through NORAD and share responsibility for the defense of North America. Canada’s military, though smaller than that of the U.S., plays an active role in peacekeeping and global security efforts. The assumption that Canada "FREELOADS" on the U.S. military is therefore logically flawed and ignores decades of joint action. In sum, this claim of a "$200 billion subsidy" does not withstand scrutiny when examined through the lens of facts. Canada’s role as a supplier of essential resources to the U.S. is a mutual exchange, one that supports both economies. Similarly, the defense partnership is based on shared responsibility, not a hierarchical arrangement where one side is a mere recipient of the other’s generosity. Thus, it is neither logical nor accurate to claim that the U.S. is subsidizing Canada in the manner implied by such statements. Instead, the reality is a balanced interdependence, rooted in economic and security cooperation. 🇨🇦
No Thank you, I don’t want to be part of a country that bans Kinder Eggs in case a child eats the prize and it get stuck in their windpipe but allows guns!
Canada should unilaterally drop any tariffs it has on all countries except USA, Iran and Russia. Would help to mitigate inflationary pressure of any retaliatory tariffs we place on American goods and services.
Joy Nott fails to outline a prediction of what Canadian industries would be most affected. Five minutes of talking and little market analysis. Lot's of general flim flam talking points. Mike Wernick also fails to deliver. An abundance of hot air!
You do know Trump is going to tariff Brics members even worse right? We shouldn't of let in so many Russians Chinese and Indians into Canada who are pro Brics. We are going to get spanked take it like a grown up.
Stop threatening the US he’s trying to balance out the economics. Trump is correct. Canada has been taking advantage of the US. Stop beating your chest and talking all tough going negotiate with Trump.
I think joining 51 st state as a Canadian - we should we allowed to vote on it. We have no way of letting our voices being heard as our gov is shut down and even then we are censored

I would recommend our government stop beating their chest and talking tough and negotiate with Trump. He seems reasonable enough and cares enough so stop lying to the people stop the illegal immigration and go negotiate with Trump.

There is no negotiating with a TYRANT/ DICTATOR/ HITLER ‼️
Are you ok? Trump is unreasonable and he isn’t interested in negotiations. He demands and that is all. You can’t reason with a narcissist. He has a personality disorder. He has a god complex.
The discussion with Trump ended ages ago!
@@Canada4evermore Trump is the businessman, he's all about negotiations! How did you miss that?
@@davidmcdougall8595 As far as Trudeau goes, he had few meetings and discussions with Trump. The problem is, each time Trump mopped the floor with him.
The Canadians talk to much. The USA 🇺🇸 has already said tariffs start February 3 . And yet your still talking about
Saluto Americano Pax Americana! For 250 years there a Republic now we have a Empire on the move and Canada is a client state. We all serve someone. At least I am a peasant I feel for the liberal white collar class. Hail Trump ( Justincase dare watching)
The Empire is crumbling, it’s mighty printer is running out of ink & out of time.
Lesely Trump Bod 1/2 world's population already in BRICS, including Spain , Turkey , South Korea, and Japan trading in their own CURRENCY!
Maybe you should find other sources for your information. Right wing media contains little facts.
@@fpp2024when will the poor bird realize that both its wings have been clipped and cannot fly. The Right Wing is Wrong, and The real Leftists have left the Left. Red vs Blue is a game where the people lose and the Purple House always wins.
It’s a Uni-Party, the whole world sees it: why can’t we?
Is it because of our multigenerational indoctrination bubble, or is it because of the corrosive acids inside the Belly of this Imperialist beast we live in that have dissolved our ability to analyze simple things by making them complex intentionally.
Always ask Cui Bono?
Alberta will be the 51st state
Yeah moving to US

Give trudumbo a large gift.... , put 100% tariffs on CANADA ... I would be okay with 200% or more ...
The fuck you talking about?
Ok President Hoover, bring back jazz and your Great Depression.
Once again- a MAGAT that does not understand tariffs. Put down your crayon and listen, Cletus. The country applying the tariff pays it. You would be paying it. Not us. Go ahead- put 500% tariffs on Canada- hope you’re feeling rich… 🇨🇦😂😂😂
