Ford says Carney and his COS new about the add before it aired. He's doing nobody any favors. :ROFLMAO:

Why is that surprising? It shouldn't be, 100% believe that they were working hand and glove together on this.

What is surprising is the fact that the ads started on 16 Oct, Trump saw them and commented on this the next day and said that he'd run the ads as well if he was on the other side of the fence but then he sat on his hands for 1 week before having a hissy fit.

You advised against boycotting on account of the the US responding to said boycott by doing the thing that they've already done.. that provoked the boycott in the first place.

And no, shattering the world trade order in pursuit of implementing a wholesale change agenda that flies in the face of most modern economic theory is not "an inevitable trade dispute"

Same as people booing the anthem have different reasons for doing so, and most probably don't do it to boo all 340 million Americans.

Yup.

So, do I have your permission to continue having my own opinion and lived experience?

I get the weird sense that @QV isn't debating in good faith here.

For example, he says a bunch of stuff that Canada shouldn't do, boycotts, but doesn't say what Canada should do. It's almost like he wants Canada to do....nothing. I wonder who in this cross border relationship this helps?

Could be there’s been a response from elected officials who’ve been answering a tonne of questions in the time between the first airing and the meltdown. If true, the ads have worked.

I'd expect that. Just as sure as I'd expect Canada taking some measure if the US paid for Ads in Canada contradicting our government.

Doug Ford was unwise in that ad effort given the circumstances, and now BC's Eby suggests he is going to toss some gasoline on that bonfire. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

No one is contradicting the US government, just Trump personally, who is single handedly driving the US Gov policy by strong arming things, with Congress and the Senate being too neutered to do anything.

He's an authoritarian child, and is ignoring US laws and international agreements (approved by US Congress and Senate) to a level that is pretty much untenable.

You can plan around someone being an asshole, and you can plan around someone maximizing their benefit at your expense. What you can't plan around is an unpredicatable asshole who ignores all agreements and norms and changes opinions like an ADHD methhead changes focus.

The US went from being a stable ally to an absolute liability economically, so great that we are diversifying now, although it will really suck.
