@Earl-of-Trumps saidI heard, through the grapevine (Don Cherry) that we or our government, such as it is, is floating the idea of accepting the US as our 11th province with Trump being allowed to be it’s Premiere.😲😁

@Very-Rusty saidI think you may be mistaken VR. Canada’s trade with the US is around 50% of all our trade. But you are likely right or at least somewhat right about the tariffs hurting both sides. Let’s take a wait and see attitude.👍
When Hell freeze over Pete!!! 😛
They are already talking about doing trade with other countries, the U.S. is a country we do the least amount of trade with right now anyways. Trumps Tariffs will hurt Americans more than Canadians. He loves throwing idle threats out there so he can be the center of attention in the News Headlines. He may ruin American Canadian Trade for Decades to come!!!

@Great-Big-Stees saidApparently you are correct on that over all. What if it all stopped tomorrow. What if Canada cut off power to the states they are providing power to. The Premier of Ontario has talked about doing just that.

We are going to have to find other trading partners which many of the Premiers are in agreement with except the Premier of Alberta, she thinks she can Negotiate with Trump. There is no negotiating with Trump, it is his way or no way. That is why we have to find new Trading partners, at least while he is at the helm.
Where do 80% of Canada's exports go?
Top five countries to which Canada exported in 2022 are below, along with the percent of total exports that went to that country: Canada exports to United States worth US$ 458,770 million, with a partner share of 76.88 percent. Canada exports to China worth US$ 22,072 million, with a partner share of 3.70 percent.
We make parts the U.S. needs for their cars and the same Vise Versa that will hurt both sides as prices will go up both sides of the boarder.
There is talk about trading more with China which will make them richer, Trump may not like that so much!!!

@Very-Rusty saidRemember VR, “talk is cheap”. Let’s, as I said, wait and see. Then we can start negotiating.

@Great-Big-Stees saidIndeed, we know Trump to be a blow hard and tries to be a bully.

You are right, lets see how it goes. Plans are already in place, the only one not on board is the Alberta Premier and she will most likely cave under pressure.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidEarl, Trump is causing chaos, not something a responsible president should do. Will he calm down?
