Then why did Albertans vote for her?

[Economic efficiency takes a back seat to success in battle], Sun Tzu …and trade deals with other nations to support diversification. 😉 Canada should have made its top tariff hrs it 47% 😆

Concur. Chrétien was definitely driving DND’s dark decade, Martin was just executing the plan (well). The goal was reduce deficits and reduce debt.

“…and another thing!!!”

Many will posit that Canada was not a serious nation at the time, so France said “Je m’enfoue…”

Waiting for The Onion to report that Trump, as a gesture of goodwill, has invited Putin to send a Russian Navy “survey” ship to join the US Navy on a goodwill tour of the Great Lakes…which may or may not (but probably) include a pass through the Straits of Mackinac…

OGBD, there were many, and the most popular ‘car’ sold in America is indeed the F-150. I just picked the most ironic example of the impact of Trump’s tariff on a relatively well-known large Detroit-based company… 😉

The “Heartbeat of America” about to get 50% more expensive… https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1JKA72KWiw/

Indeed. Export taxes is the way to go, and provide the affected goods/industries with rebates/transfers from the export tax revenue, to offset the impact. No reduction/restriction to any commodity exports, just the tax to the American importer.

Is that worse than Jamil Jivani having a university bro-fest a couple of time with the Veep and doing a drive-by howdy in the Oval office?

Not a stupid question, OGBD. @SupersonicMax amingst best to comment here, but policy/higher level-wise, it depends on how the IC, IOC and FOC are defined (initial capability, initial operational capability and final operational capability) as well as type conversion and operational training...

If I were GoC king for a day, I’d hold off on announcing the type and scale of export taxes on resources ( 😉 ) until after 9/11 remembrance ceremonies, and the American 24-48 memory span still potentially remembers how Canada looked after all the Americans away from home when they not permitted...

What about Premier Smith’s take on that? Dirtying the oilfield for centuries… #peakputin *Still doesn’t make Canada any less of an American buffer zone.

And some in the U.S. still see Canada as a ballistic nuclear Fulda gap, so the “free ride for defense” rhetoric can be tempered with the “Canada is a convenient buffer zone to absorb ‘Cosmos 954 on steroids’ radioactive fallout”…

Technically, yes, but we’d have to revise the acronym.

I wouldn’t change a thing you’ve said here. “Pitter patter, get the F at ‘er!”

If the Canadian Alliance CPC membership votes him in to replace Poilievre, I would probably consider getting a membership in the Liberal Progressive Conservatives.

I’d call it transactional, not necessarily adversarial. As many business types are fans of saying, “it’s not personal, it’s just business…”

Ford isn’t a willow bending in the wind, but he does get credit by many, especially the Ontario electorate where it counts, for updating his policies when he gets clear signals from The People on issues. I’m one of those, one who also has a head scratch or two (green belt construction and ‘bury...
