Trump praised Carney’s election victory
I think Carney’s charmed Trump. Well done.

RandAlThor@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump still would like to add Canada and Greenland but says attack on Canada ‘highly unlikely’13·9 days agoI don’t believe he’s stating this to “appease” his cult. This is an extension of his ego, the same way he admires Putin. He wants to be known as the president who expanded the US.

RandAlThor@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•What's in Trump's move to ease US automotive tariffs5·14 days agoTrump’s auto tariff relief isn’t much of a relief. This crap is still very much damaging to the Canadian auto manufacturing ecosystem.

RandAlThor@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]5·16 days agoHe implied PP, but he’s talking about himself.
I just have no patience to listen to “what if” the whole night.
If enough people saw Trump’s rant this morning, Carney and Libs get a majority. If they didn’t, it could be tight.
RandAlThor@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Did Poilievre only build 6 homes when he was housing minister?611·26 days agoWhile the article stated that the statement was FALSE, It’s actually NOT FALSE.
There was no housing minister in Harper’s cabinet at the time. Many housing issues got rolled into Poilievre’s domain under the title of social development. The six houses number stems from non-profit housing built by the government in the 2015-16 fiscal year, when Poiliever had the file. Under Harper, Canada had less social housing per capita than many other countries.
Housing was under PP’s portfolio, and PP made it very small.
Let them get very serious about separation. and its consequences. Only when they face it will they realize what they’ll have. Or not have. I can tell you one thing - once they have their own currency, it will appreciate. It’ll make oil production costs more expensive, make their oil and gas less profitable. Further, their currency becomes directly pegged to the oil price, with little to no stability which makes doing business and trade-dependent economy like theirs and ours more difficult and costly. They will ask to continue to use Canadian dollar and we should absolutely refuse it - they want the benefits without the costs.
Equalization payments are there for economic imbalances. Look at EU. Once Germany joined EU and uses Euro, it is like a currency depreciation making their goods more cost effective in the world market. Thus Germany enjoys a huge trade surplus. It’s not a coincidence Germany has had huge trade surpluses since they went to a common currency.
