No...you are dead wrong.
No,most certainly I am not.
Competition works only when the playing field is level.
Find a different playing field. preferably in-country. If they are too proud f their sh*t, let em keep it.
I hate tariffs too, but you've gone off the rails, Especially in sourcing. Relying on alternate souring applies when it is feasible. [...] isn't managing that partnership in good faith.
Then find another partner. This ain't rocket science.
And what Canada has done to our dairy, is predatory in deference to their own industry.
It ain't quite that simple. And dairy is a bad example, as I have already explained. Many places here protect their dairy too. Dairy is also an expendable commodity that has to pass stringent inspection and many countries oppose additives that are added to our food stuffs. To include dairy. Now... I am not well-versed in the ins and outs of that subject.
Your endorsement of us basically subsidizing the trade imbalance is downright crazy. Maybe your near location to Canada influences that thought.
Who is subsidizing? Not me. I am saying if you want competition, get off your ass and create it. If you don't have a fair playing field then go find another.
The best way is to outlaw them all together, and let the free markerts dictate.
Well, there ya go.
However, the likes of Canada has fired the first 2 or 3 salvos, and your admoninshment of Trump for trying to level the playing field is downright silly. Let's see of Canada responds smartly, and we can discuss this matter again in a few weeks or months.
He may have single-handedly assured that Trudy WON'T step down... So good luck with that. Piss everybody off for no reason. He could have shut his pie hole and let the azzhole step down... He could have pumped up Alberta and Saskatchewan ties, and made mention of the trucker's strike. That alignment and remembrance alone would have put Trudy right behind the eightball without aggressive action against the People.
It's all bullshit. And I will bet you any money that the lumber industry - Which far outstrips dairy for Pete's sake - I will bet you it remains destroyed in four years. Battleship mouth and a rowboat ass. If he meant it, the lumber is what he'd be doing. Leaning into cross-border industries... reducing restriction and binding ties.
Instead he throws sh*tballs at a defrocked and leaving idiot. Juvenile hi-jinx, not statesmanship.
And I would think you would know the difference - In fact you do, because you uttered it perfectly right in your reply. You said the answer.
