    I’m not sure what your question is.

    What’s being requested of Canada to stop the 1% flow? Build a fence? Seems no one knows what the request is.

    I wasn't in the negotiations, on the US side since Obama we have a much higher border patrol presence and for several years there has been a huge drone presence out of Grand Forks, but in my opinion it was more asking to acknowledge the problem and stop downplaying it along with forming a plan to curb the problems and prevent what they can in the future.

    Potential buyers knew, the second Trump had the subsidies were gone.

    I almost fell for "the Sky is falling" cry from the Liberals online, knowing the value is there and how fickle liberals are about jumping from cause to cause on what to be upset about, I thought there might be an investment opportunity. No wonder Elon seemed unbothered, it was just an anomaly and now it's back to what looks like it's normal value, inline with the last couple years.

    When you look at Tesla over a year, it took a huge climb in November and December, but it seems to be holding steady over the year. (minus the big jump) I wonder what caused the jump after the election?

    There was an absolute statement made that the sole reason for the tariffs were reciprocal. Now that this has completely changed for Canada, I thought it was worth clarifying what the take was on the ones for the rest of the world. As stated, the comment was more on Vipers opinion as I expect yours to be logical and that isn't as much fun to discuss.

    Canada holds the ultimate hand in any trade deal.

    Does anyone actually know what the request is to stop this 1% of fentanyl?

    Honest question, if the latest Canadian lab bust had 54 kilos of Fentanyl which would be fatal doses for 26 million people, you're saying there is enough fentanyl coming into the US to kill 2.6 billion people? But yes fatal doses for 26 million people is worth the effort. (and that's only one lab, how many more are operating)?

    Not what viper said.

    He goes down Rabbit holes, like I said Canada did make it about reciprocal tariffs, then Trump added more Tariffs, Canada added a Border Czar, because it will be a lot cheaper to help clean up the border than play the Tariff game. A whole lot of Drama because Canadian politicians wanted to stand up to Trump.

    Viper said it was about reciprocal tariffs. You all saying he is wrong?

    Come on, I know you know better, it's about securing the border, Canada made it about reciprocal tariffs, and now according to Rev. Canada nominated a border Czar, because well it's about the border.

    You are dumb enough to believe Trump.

    Why not do some fact checking on the percentage of fentanyl that comes from Canada. Then for fun check who’s bringing it in. Mostly Americans. Imagine the uproar if we started stopping Americans on their way into the U.S. randomly searching and arresting them.

    You’d be fine with black and brown people but the minute Bubba gets his hidden guns confiscated, you’d be balling your eyes out.

    You're an Idiot, every one here sees it but you, Now who tracks the illegal traffic of Fentanyl but does't report it so they can arrest the criminals? I mean to fact check the amount coming from Canada we need to know how much is coming in illegally and if they can track how much and where it's coming from why is any getting in at all? Are you saying the media knows and aren't telling law enforcement? The truth of the matter is with the tightening of the southern border, the Canadian border has become easy pickings. The only thing bringing tears to my eyes is how gay your KIA looks but you think it's the greatest thing ever. 🤣

    We already did and appointed (you’ll like this… a border czar). It’s not about the border. Trump’s a cunt that can’t be trusted.

    I'm sure when they actually do something besides naming a Border Czar the tariff threats will go away.

    Hopefully this graphic below is accurate because perhaps the biggest part of the trade war isn’t going to be tariffs, it will be individual Canadians buying from anywhere except the US.

    All Canada has to do is agree to help clean up the issues at their border and all this goes away. That's it, not to hard to understand.

    The border is your responsibility. You decide who and what you let in. But thanks to Trump we will spend around a billion at the border. Since we have no jurisdiction at US check points that money will probably help slow the traffic of Mercan guns and drugs Into Canada.

    The fentanyl excuse is a lie Trump made up. I’m not sure if you have any experience in business. But would you work with a company that cancelled a 5 year contract for made up reasons that were not included in the contract? If there were no provisions in the trade agreement about drugs at the border, why should that be an excuse to tear up the agreement?

    What you are missing about Kia is that they went from being throw away cars to award winning cars. I’ve owned ford, gm, Chrysler, bmw and Toyotas. This is the best driving experience and most fun to drive.

    FYI. Sounds like your friend was a spoiled brat. Daddy should have taken the car back and given her a bus pass.

    Things change daily, 5 years without change is a long time. Also securing a border is a 2 sided affair to keep things truly secure, also it's hard to believe you're still stuck on check points when most of the border is wide open, hell I can drive a car to Winnipeg without going thru a checkpoint.

    edit: Yes she was spoiled, extremely Hot and a little wild but she was a car chick.

    Yes. He renegotiated a trade deal. Now he won’t stick to the deal he signed. Would you do business with someone who won’t keep their word or a signed contract?

    You keep forgetting this all started trying to clean up the border, I suppose you might have more posts to plagiarize to argue that doesn't happen. Also it's hard not to laugh after you said your KIA was the best car you've ever had. I had a friend several years ago that was pissed her Dad bought her a KIA, Her exact words "You can work at Walmart and drive a KIA".

    He renegotiated NAFTA in his last term and claimed it was the best trade deal ever. Recently he was dumb enough to ask what idiot signed that agreement. Is he senile? He signed it. Now he has reneged on the deal? No one will trust the U.S. because they don’t keep their word.

    Regarding drugs. More comes North than south. His complaint about drugs was made up to fool you. It worked.

    USMCA is what he negotiated, NAFTA is gone. Unless you're saying coming North from Mexico, you're wrong.

    Did you read the article?

    It got busted.

    There still is %1 getting to you

    I don’t, like some others here, blame the US for the hand gun crime in Canada….despite the fact that well over %90 of the illegal hand guns are smuggled in from your country.

    Be realistic. Criminals gonna criminal

    Well obviously it got busted, I don't think CBS would be doing an article on an operating lab. But just like the Cartels in Mexico, another one will pop up to fill the demand. And yes the demand is the US's problem.

    The drugs coming in to the US are like under %1 from Canada, vs everywhere else.

    We followed you into almost every war, we are friends and neighbors.

    We went with you into Afghanistan after Sept 11, our soldiers train with yours to defend our countries. I know, I've served with your cats in our Arctic.

    I don't want to kick my American service men buddies in the balls, I won't do it.

    I'll let our politicians fuck us over.

    Our fucking Idiot claimed our budget will balance itself.

    Stop. Think.

    Unfortunately, thinking is not what the average voter does.

    Times are changing.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada-drug-super-lab-busted-fentanyl-guns/

    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says that 2 milligrams of fentanyl is a lethal dose in most people. That works out to 227,000 deaths per pound of fentanyl, or 26.8 million for 118 pounds.

    In the bust stated above that's the amount of Fentanyl recovered, 54 kilos, along with Meth and other drugs, seems pretty big time.

    He renegotiated NAFTA. Look it up

    He did, NAFTA was a mess for US businesses, The 25% tariff was imposed on Canada for it's fairly open border, Trump was just trying to get Canada to help curb the drug trade, it was Canada that decided it was better to put counter Tariffs on the US than help with the drug problem, it's not being a good neighbor to not want to curb your drug manufacturing and import problem.

    vagueness noted

    yeah, so I could really give two shits what people choose to buy or drive, an my stance on the previous tax incentives here for buying an ev stand

    remember when the looneys were attacking SUVs years ago? difference here and now is you have the owner of an EV company who's made billions off the tax payer financing a political campaign, taking part of the government and pissing people off. I don't recall the CEO of any car company in my lifetime doing anything of that nature... although Henry Ford was kindve a son of a bitch if you know about him and his history. Elon brought some of this on himself.

    so yeah... hypocrisy galore

    I'm still enjoying the show, has there been cuts that don't make sense, maybe, but I think the ones screaming the most, have the most to fear as the investigation goes deeper. How can people be pissed off at some of the waste that's been found?

    But you're OK when Canada has Tariffs?

    I’m thinking that since Trump is going to fuck over the legacy auto industry, Canada should remove tariffs on Chinese cars in exchange for byd building them here.
