    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    He still has a few to ditch from the Trudeau era that are embarrassing him. Joly is long overdue. Gary A is a political liability. Lena Diab is useless. He needs to grow the competency from the backbenchers (there are a few smart cookies there that can ruin the CPC day if they get up and...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    On a similar note of how we step on our own dicks. I live in Ontario. Every now and then, I get a friend to smuggle in, yes smuggle in BC wines (They are outstanding). Why do I have to smuggle in BC wines? I can still buy wines from Italy, Chile, France and Australia? When are we going to...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    One of the most eye opening experiences was while i was butchering at the local abattoir, I met an old meat inspector (over 35 years experience) before he retired. This was a provincially inspected plant. He was in a not give a shit mood before he retired and proceeded to lay out about 30...

    We grow wine, America grows wine We grow beef, America grows beef WE grow lot of wheat, America grows lots of wheat I could go on. Thinking our "protected sectors" are gonna collapse because of American access is not realistic, if anything, we will collapse those industries ourselves. Think...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Or swallowed up by larger farms just down the road, right here at home. That is what happens to us too. This applies to most farms period. WE survive because my wife and I now work full time off farm and keep our farm within a small margin, enough to keep us going as a small farm, whether we...

    Even if fuel is cheap, you still have to harvest feed and seed for feedlots, which is another expense, and its a big one.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Explain how our supply management protects our farms (we have lost vast majority of our dairy farms in 50 years) and how is what other nations not relevant to our situation? Got news for you, on this, many of us in farming (including dairy farmers) have had very long discussions in much detail...

    On this, you are correct. I will refer to a similar situation. You all know I raise beef and lamb (although next year may be my last year for beef), I raise beef in Canada, which is a brutal disadvantage. For 3-6 months of the year, we have to feed the cattle hay, haylage and /or silage. Our...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Apparently its California wine and Bourbon (from Kentucky) were the big ones we put on our shelves. American beer was never really a big seller up here. The big one to watch out for here is Canadian hard liquors (Such as Forty Creek Rye and Canadian Club Whiskey), are 70% export product, the...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    And yes, I have some friends that are still all in on the Carney brand of Liberals. Especially my wife's friends. Thats great, they exercise their democratic right and chose a side. I have asked all of them what has he done well and not one can say a single thing he has done. Then again, they...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Please tell me you didn't place any bets on these numbers? David Coletto of Abacus data, warned during the last election, to be wary of massive poll swings for/against anyone candidate or party without a specific event to back it up. I sure as hell don't think Pierre is beating the Liberals, I...

    Negative Nancy moment. The Toronto Sun, which is NOT a youtube influencer or opinion outlet but it is in fact a NEWS outlet, hopefully that qualification satisfies some. Brian Lilley offers up the views of an economist, who like me, tells you to pay attention to the house on fire and don't...
