just read an article about the Coachella valley going all out to welcome Canadians back to spend their winters there again... they would be better to go after the US government and it's border policies. USA border guards are now demanding that we open our cell phones so that they can check everything on them before coming into the states. No way Jose -- I have personal medical and financial info stored on that phone -- no way will I allow an invasion of privacy like that - do they think canadians are crazy as well as push over's?
1:11 pm

ugh!

How the hell is that legal Nan?
1:27 pm
ch1212

thanks for posting that, nan. We're planning to travel out of country later this year. Apparently, the US Border agents can check anyone's cell phones at an entry point, including US citizens. I did not know that. I just read an article about buying a pre-paid 'burner' cheap cell phone to take for travelling. We might do that. There's nothing interesting on our phones, but I'm a private person --- as much as anyone can be these days.

he hasn't had much time to do anything -- counter tariffs in place. I think once he gets into trade talks with Trump and Co. he won't be the pushover that Trudeau was.
1:29 pm
cybernan

Anything Trump wants is legal in the states now -- he has the Justice department's hands tied -- the USA is a democracy in name only now. Look how they are treating their "political" prisoners and detainees -- most people provide better conditions for their animals.
1:30 pm
Atalante

Carney was very good when he was working in UK. Absolutely no problem putting his foot down
1:31 pm
cybernan

ch1212 - don't take a laptop or tablet either -- same rules apply.
1:32 pm
ch1212

I understand, nan. It was heartening to see the 5M protesters across the country at the 'Hands Off' rallies. Our local chapter is so crowded with people at the meetings that they have gone to zoom to accomodate everyone.

Historically, the passive, non-violent movements have been significantly more successful than the violent ones. I have hop.
1:32 pm
cybernan

That's reassuring to hear, Atalante
1:32 pm
ch1212

I mean, hope. Though sometimes I do hop. lol!
1:34 pm
cybernan

we have our fingers crossed as well ch1212 -- hoping the impeachment attempt next month is successful -- but with Vance being the one to step in I don't know if matters would improve or not
1:34 pm
Atalante

1 left ...
1:36 pm
cybernan

I think with all the meltdowns that Trump might be autistic -- unfortuneately for all of us, the bigger the kid, the bigger the tantrum
1:36 pm
Atalante

clue for the last ha5/12? I'm sure its probably onbvious
1:38 pm
ch1212

might be the Hawaiian word for white folks.

yes it is -- ends with a spanish cheer

Theres three books in my library which seem to be Trumps play list. Two are Attwoods - handmaids tale and the Oryx and Crake trilogy, and John Nivens The Fuck-it List. I suppose thats actually 5 books, but for books written so long ago, theyre scarily close, especially the fuck it and the trilogy.
1:40 pm

bye nan.

Have a good one Nan. Im about ready for bed already.

Good afternoon, Babblers. :)

People will take you more seriously when discussing politics if you refrain from dramatic statements like "the other side of the abyss".

I disagree Molly. What is happening at the moment in your country is totally unprecedented. Having a raving lunatic in charge of one of the world’s most powerful countries is terrifying. His bombastic speech the other day, when he spoke about other countries leaders ‘kissing his ass’ was reprehensible. The man is a danger to all citizens Planet Earth.

And Hi Mool. I was mid-rant when you appeared. 😊

Which is why people will be persuaded to listen more intently to those who don't spew the dramatic rhetoric that he does.

After 4 years of the demented puppet and the Democrats Trump is the breath of fresh air we desperately needed.
4:26 pm
crosshair

You must forgive us if we get a little hot under the collar when discussing Trump and his actions, but he is playing with the stock market like it is a rigged golf game as one of his courses while while peoples business go under and life savings are erased while he threatens, backs of, threatenes and backs off again. He seems to think that it is a game.
4:35 pm

Of course the 25% remains on Canada and Mexico the last time I checked, so we continue with our countrr-teriffs.

Excuse the typos. :)

Trump doesn't scare me half as much as the people who support him do. But then, Hitler and Jim Jones had supporters too.
4:38 pm
moolingwa

hey sood, sorry for the delay...was on a call
4:38 pm
crosshair

I will agree with you on that one, molly. It seems like he is being fed ideas form someone on the inside. There is no way that he is coming up with all of this on his own.
4:40 pm
crosshair

Well, all of Jim Jones acolytes wound up dead. Hope it does not happen in this case.
4:42 pm

I can almost see Musk telling him when to add tariffs and when to back off.
4:43 pm
moolingwa

Musk wants zero tariffs :)
4:43 pm
crosshair

Only because this is killing him in the stock market.
4:44 pm
moolingwa

Peter Navarro appears to be the one helping Trump implement the tariffs, but the idea predates him
4:44 pm
crosshair

But you can be sure Musk is buying when the market tanks.
4:44 pm
moolingwa

I feel we have more tanking to do yet
4:45 pm
crosshair

Nothing like presidential supplied insider trading, eh?
4:46 pm
moolingwa

The insider trading story to me is a bit of a red herring.

There's a lot more suspect stuff going on, from Trump's $1 million dollar dinner invites to his political appointees in the various agencies giving out grants to their buddies
4:47 pm
crosshair

8201girl, I do not think that those who are in the U.S tourism business will agree with you.
4:48 pm
crosshair

Oh, I am sure there is lots of nasty stuff going on in the background ss well.
4:48 pm
moolingwa

Or small business owners, or farmers, or immigrants...or people collecting social security, or those disabled veterans who lost their jobs
4:49 pm
crosshair

I wonder if he charges his security detail the full rate when he is at one of his resorts, for example.
4:49 pm
moolingwa

But at least the wealthiest people will get tax cuts, while the country goes further into debt
4:49 pm
moolingwa

he did the first time round crossy
4:49 pm
crosshair

The rich get richer.
4:50 pm
moolingwa

Can't imagine it's changed, plus he's fired a bunch of the people who would inspect that kind of abuse
4:50 pm
crosshair

He has so many grifts going it is impossible to keep track of them all.
4:51 pm
moolingwa

Meanwhile they also downsized the IRS, making it easier for the wealthier folks and corporations to avoid paying taxes
4:51 pm
moolingwa

Almost all that information is out there, for anyone interested in looking
4:52 pm
crosshair

Is he still working on gutting the SS?
4:52 pm
moolingwa

The grant stuff isn't publicly available yet as far as I know

We are trying to keep abreast of his actions, but you almost need a playbook, plus we are turned inward to bolster ourselve and looking at other partners, other markets.
4:54 pm

thanks

On Social Security it appears 7000 of the 60,000 employees are to be let go, and there's reports they may look to fire as much as half
4:55 pm
crosshair

Sorry, I should not hog the chog with politics.
4:55 pm
moolingwa

Yeah, that happened in his first administration. Soy bean farmers in the US lost market share in China and never got it back after those tariffs.
4:56 pm
crosshair

But it is a facet in everyone lives now. Nobody is unaffected.
4:57 pm
crosshair

Canada, Mexico, and China are the canaries in the coal mine.
4:58 pm

One interesting thing to note us that Denmark recently purchased the entire rail system that services the Panama Canal. That will frost Trumps cojones. :(
4:59 pm
moolingwa

Yeah, I think the days of the US leading the world economy are coming to an end.

Untrustworthy partner, attacks friends, policies shifting without any warning. Countries are going to go find better suppliers and invest elsewhere rather than the US, which will hurt the US economy for decades
5:00 pm
crosshair

I think so as well. Things will never be as they once were.
5:00 pm
moolingwa

took less than 80 days to accomplish all that :)
5:01 pm
crosshair

One good thing is that Trump made us look inward, come together as a nation, and realize that we can improve ourself, and not to have all of our trading eggs in one basket.
5:03 pm
moolingwa

Did expose Poilievre quite a bit...some dramatic poll shifts up there in a very short time
5:03 pm
crosshair

Our LNG plant is coming online ss we speak, and the E.U is ready to place orders. We are setting up car deals with Japan, aluminum deals with China.
5:03 pm

P.P is not my choice for P.M
5:04 pm
moolingwa

Yeah, doesn't seem like someone I would get behind
5:05 pm
crosshair

Oh and we ordered a early detection system fron the Aussies.
5:06 pm
crosshair

Plus we are working trade deals with them. My worry is that should things continue as they are, the U.S will become an isolated country.
5:06 pm
MollyL

That is how it always should have been in Canada. It shouldn't have taken Trump to do that.
5:07 pm
moolingwa

I keep trying to find words from tiles I've already completed
5:07 pm
crosshair

You are right, molly. We are erasing inter-provincial trade barriers which should have been done long ago.
5:08 pm
crosshair

Trade with the U.S has always bern a marriage if conveinience, but no more.
5:09 pm
moolingwa

Well I think it's logically the case. Shipping goods has a cost, so keeping things closer always makes more financial sense
5:09 pm
MollyL

The sad thing about America is that we are now being "led" by someone as tyrannical as the Brit King we stood up to in the first place.
5:10 pm
moolingwa

And it's not logical what is happening, so it was really a very low risk.

As for the interprovincial thing, that should have happened ages ago :)
5:10 pm
crosshair

With and extra 25% tacked on it no longer makes sense.
5:11 pm
crosshair

Lumer is even higher, though I do not have a oercentage on that. It changes so fast.
5:11 pm
crosshair

Lumber
5:12 pm
moolingwa

chances are it'll chance next week, or tomorrow anyway
5:13 pm
crosshair

Wonder when he is going to refloat his previous idea of opening up the national parks for lumber?
5:13 pm
moolingwa

Maybe recycle on beds :)
5:13 pm
moolingwa

We could also disassemble all those old unused railway tracks if you don't mind a bit of arsenic in your wood
5:14 pm
crosshair

:/
5:15 pm
crosshair

Wait until new U.S home build cost 25% more. He cannot replace all that lumber in a heartbeat.
5:16 pm
moolingwa

Was just reading this morning that about 20-25% of a new residential build is sourced from materials from China
5:16 pm
crosshair

Plus the extra 10% on potash that U.S farmers need to grow food.
5:16 pm
moolingwa

Not to mention rounding up all those illegal aliens who were doing some of that work
5:17 pm
moolingwa

I hear that Canada has some pretty nifty farm tech too that is now far more expensive
5:17 pm
crosshair

We are all globally connected, and there us not much Trump can do to change that.
5:17 pm
moolingwa

A no-plough seed planting unit I think
5:18 pm
crosshair

We have some hydroponic setup for commercial farming that will blow your mind.
5:18 pm
crosshair

It is quite fascinating.
5:18 pm
moolingwa

Amazon and Walmart are going to get hammered on costs
5:18 pm
crosshair

No soil at all is involved.
5:19 pm
crosshair

Yup. Much of Walmart SKU's are from China.
5:21 pm
moolingwa

The danger is that he's created this appearance of a problem that doesn't exist. Trade deficits aren't a bad thing, but the terminology gives the appearance of somehting bad
5:21 pm
crosshair

Canada also made a deal with Brazil for juice oranges.
5:22 pm
crosshair

We are 40 million. There us no way in hell we will buy as much from the U.S as they buy from us.
5:22 pm
moolingwa

The ability to provide good paying jobs is more related to advancements in technology and investment in science...but he's gutting that.

So the US is on course to become less innovative, have less of value to the world, and be protectionist, which will create higher prices for anyone who lives here
5:23 pm
crosshair

But what we send down is top shelf stuff--oil, electricity, potash, aluminum, etc.
5:24 pm
crosshair

The U.S is simply not equipped to produce the same ammount of aluminum that it used to buy from us.
5:25 pm
moolingwa

Unfortunately much of the economic detail is beyond the average voter's typical level of interest, so he's getting to destroy a lot of things which will take much longer to manifest as bad
5:25 pm
crosshair

Or nickle, or potash.
5:25 pm
moolingwa

It doesn't make sense to produce something if it doesn't lead to good revenue streams and/or good paying jobs
5:25 pm
crosshair

Yup. Fiddling while "Rome" burns.
5:26 pm
crosshair

Well, they simply fo not have the capacity to oroduce ut.
5:26 pm

Produce it*
5:27 pm

I don't blame the voters so much as I blame congress who've abdicated any responsibility here
5:28 pm
crosshair

I think it will get much worse before it gets better.
5:28 pm
moolingwa

nor is anyone likely to invest in building infrastructure to make it here in the US, because it would be very risky to do so knowing that it can be made cheaper elsewhere
5:28 pm
crosshair

Which is why we are scrambling for ither trading oartners.

They would need to have significant government handouts to make them viable in the global marke
5:29 pm
crosshair

Yup.
5:30 pm
moolingwa

which means tax-payer funded. Something he did in the first term to try and offset the pain for the farmers
5:30 pm
crosshair

It makes no sense for any business to move to the U.S at this point in time. Things are so volitile that they will wait.
5:31 pm
crosshair

Yes, the U.S has 340 million vustomers, but the E.U has more.
5:31 pm
moolingwa

For sure...business investment requires stability and predictability, and there's none of that here, because Trump appears to be making policy reactively rather than thoughtfully
5:31 pm
crosshair

Brb must take the pups out.
5:31 pm
moolingwa

China and India also have more, and have been growing their middle class
5:32 pm
moolingwa

Which in theory would ultimately help the US, because then they'd be able to afford US made products
5:33 pm
moolingwa

creating more wealthy across more people both in the US and globally makes good business sense.

Giving tax breaks to people who don't need to spend more money is the opposite of that unfortunately
5:36 pm
moolingwa

reducing innovation and education just means that it becomes harder to obtain wealth.

I'm not a huge fan of government mandated education, but I also recognize that many people don't have the resources, and so it provides a mechanism to improve lives for the next generations
