Here's what a capitalist FREE market economy integrated with universal social programs (socialism elements) gets you. And the reason these people are so happy- universal healthcare, education, family support, less crime, and a willingness to pay higher taxes vs personal greed. What JDV leaves out!

Then someone should ask him who bragged about this deal.

Poilievre's slogan machine ramps up yet again, rattling away with half-truths and all-out lies. Playing his supporters for fools - Grievance, Anger, and Slogans (GAS), and he's full of it. Stephen Harper just let him know that it's time to shut-up and stop undermining Canada.

Trump just gave Talarico a boost. By preventing Bombardier from selling in the USA he is in effect shutting down Bombardier's wing manufacturing plant in Texas, along with other plants and associated engine makers in Ohio, Durham, Phoenix, and Kansas.

Playing Americans for fools, here are just a couple of ad's for US Banks currently operating in Canada. Notice Citi Bank has been in Canada since 1919. President is a liar and a con man.

Rather than playing with his dog, Bessent needs to work on becoming competent at his job. He's losing control of US debt and spending. If he's concerned about a yappy dog, then he should buy a muzzle for Howard Lutnick.

Of course this guy doesn't understand trade. All he understands is how to satisfy his narcissism. Here's what he said about his USMCA deal - totally contradicts today's statements. He thinks that he can influence leaders with these veiled threats - he's an idiot.

Don't get too excited - the job numbers may be bogus as Trump's BLS is suspect (wait for next month's revisions). Threatening the Fed. - Trump is spending his way into a debt crisis, and leading the US down the same path as his last 6 bankruptcies.

US debt is spiraling out of control, it's showing up in the bond market, the Dutch have pulled their gold out of the US, Trump is using tariffs instead of taxes to generate revenue to service the debt, and each citizen owns about $120k of this debt. Trump, the king of bankruptcies is sinking the US.

If Americans don't need anything from Canada, why did Trump call the USMCA a "colossal victory" for America? It's time for Americans to acknowledge that electing this con man was a "colossal mistake", and regain control of what is left of their democracy. It's going to be too late very soon.

Here's what Trump said about the agreement he signed with Canada. The one that Lutnick and Trump now say is "ripping off" Americans - which means Trump was the idiot that allowed the deal to happen. Lutnick, like Trump is nothing more than a liar and a con man. America deserves better than this.

Bessent should worry about the crumbling US fiscal situation. "To be sure, the surge in interest expense fundamentally threatens long-term fiscal stability...It effectively means that nearly one out of every five dollars collected by the government now goes toward servicing existing national debt"

The world recognizes that Trump and his administration are predatory con men replaying the same soundtrack over and over... If Americans don't recognize this and use their power to take back both houses, they will join Trump et al. on the world stage as fools.

So Trump negotiated this "colossal victory" and "great deal" which Canada has been using to "rip-off" the US for all these years? And what about those Europeans "ripping-off" the USA. Obvious that this guy has just been conning Americans using the same old "schtick" over and over...

Trump's world is also to con Americans through lies: In his post he says that "Canada's unemployment is 10% and rising". The truth is that it's 6.4% and down from last month "the lowest rate in two years...employment rose by 75,100 well above expectations" tradingeconomics.com/canada/unemp...

Apparently there are many countries Europe (44) plus China = at least 45 "ripping off" the USA. The same old real estate salesman con "slogan" is really getting old.

According to Trump every country has been "ripping off" the USA. Aren't Americans getting sick of hearing this same slogan over and over.
