Canada

Not really any point in trying to get China back. Sometimes, damage is permanent. They’ve moved on and are not going to stop working with Brasil, no matter what the USA does. Sometimes, the wrong decision has longlasting consequences.

China is trying to manipulate us. Why do you want to see that happen?

Bill of goods? Peter Navarro? I don’t know what that means and honestly, I don’t know Peter Navarro, although I did do a quick wiki search.

But….this is not a game of win and lose. Its right and wrong.

Right, Michele, it’s not win and lose. It’s smart vs stupid. Sophisticated vs simpleminded. Planning vs reacting.

Smart people realize that a true free trade agreement like the one Canada had with the US benefits everyone. The USA won and so did we. We didn’t charge tariffs on much, and neither did the US. It was a sophisticated, well planned approach to trade and both countries thrived under this agreement.

Stupid people think that, because one side does well, it must be bad for the other side. They react by tearing up the agreement because, well, if the other guy is doing well, it must mean that we’re being screwed. This is, of course, simpleminded idiocy, and it harms both parties.

So yes, Michele, it is right vs wrong. The smart people are right. The stupid people are wrong. Just ask Ronald Reagan.

You seem frustrated.

Liar Liar……You tariffed us in the NAFTA agreement so we didn’t uhhh “win” as you call it. If that makes you smart, I’d rather be an idiot.

Didn’t charge much? This is the first time you’ve admitted that you charged at all, but contrary to what you may not consider “much”, it was enough for Trump to place retaliatory tariffs on you, which I must say was not just smart, it was brilliant.

True. I am frustrated that half the US is so stupid.

Michele, the NAFTA agreement was a deal to LOWER tariffs.

Is nice that you got your way.

Only to idiots.

Sounds like a big deal, Reg. You should try India’s Christmas cookies.

I love Indian food but I don’t want to get fat.

I hope you put your tongue on a diet then.

I do. I rarely eat Indian food. I had a salad bowl today for lunch. Still holding at about 79 kilos.

Another traitor and if he had gone from liberal to conservative, I’m sure you would have been furious that you didn’t get what you voted for. As it is, you got exactly what any liberal could have hoped for. Congratulations.

Canada needs to commit more if they are going to meet eligibility requirements for MAID services.
