Non - Can This Bloke Become President Of The United States?

Wow, up to a 1% drop?! Do you own any stocks? You must be a nervous wreck if you do.
Did you read Trudeau's statement? Is he lying about all that?
So in addition to not understanding how the markets can be affected by the stupidity of political leaders, you’re seemingly naive about the ‘business’ of politics too.

You really need to do better…see me later :LOL:
 
It may well have backfired on Trump. I’ll have to ask @Toronto John but I have many friends and family in Canada who are now refusing to buy anything American. This could be a great opportunity for scotch whisky producers as, unbelievably, they’ve been drinking that utter crap that the Yanks call whisky.

Thats all well and good...but what about the men in the street...

;)¡
 
There are lots of ' fusses about nothing' going down at present...as you would expect after a Trump inauguration.
The Forum Political Experts'. getting their knickers in a twist over f√ck-all...just to score points against each other..

Bloody Stocks and Shares go up and down all the time for Christ Sake Popeye !

It ain't Trump you needs to worry about...

Its these tossers in the Middle East...and Putin.

Yep, and the markets will trend upwards over long term... unless capitalism collapses. Which I'm sure a few on here would love to see transpire.

need regular Finchie from the office running commentary to navigate turbulent waters. delivering street savy to help keep things real.
 
Looks like Trudeau has agreed to implement sensible border control, and negotiations will commence. I'm sorry this is happening to you, Stan.
I'm not convinced that that is the target, though. I am seeing reports that less than 1% of the fentanyl coming into the USA comes from the north. Trudeau had already committed CDN$1.3B to enhanced border security, so another CDN$200M is a drop in the bucket.
I have also read that in order to invoke these tariffs, they had to be wrapped in a National Emergency, which might have been so with Mexico but would not have snared Canada into the conversation. So, Canada pledges some extra dosh, and Trump saves face by relenting for a month.

It's all a dance to re-open USMCA and negotiate some better terms for USA. The 51st State stuff is just Trump being an a-hole, he has always used disruption to promulgate change.

Yeah, well there is no doubt some nationalistic feelings on both sides of the border. The Canadian anthem was booed at a hockey game in Nashville tonite. Heck, I've even heard of guys flipping off Americans on the highway ;).

Mrs. TJ is on a rampage to refuse to buy anything American for the time being. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. However, now that the US booze is back in the liquor stores, there are stories of people stocking up on Cali wines in case an embargo does eventually arrive. :shrug:

There is a big 4-nation hockey tournament coming up starting Feb. 12 .... some of the best hockey players from Canada, USA, Sweden and Finland, playing for their countries. Canada v. USA on Feb. 15 from Montreal ........... could be some really good theatre.
 
Very bojo and Cummings.
Create a problem
Await the reaction.
When it is negative to your popularity do a u turn

Why would anyone stock up on Californian wine?
 
Canada is a great Nation...possibly the Worlds best place...but I think someone way better than Trudeau is needed...and preferably British descent not French...and not Liberal /catholic Trudeau is a bit effete for my liking ..like his father Pierre.

large % of pronoun loving woke types though mate ;)

I used to love thought of living out there, but over past few years become aware of a lot of liberal sillyness having quite an effect on the culture... apparently.

no doubt is fine overall, but defo a lot of noise around stuff some eyebrow raisng nonsense... that I'm sure you wouldnt appreciate, knowing your rough outlook on things.

far removed from masculine remote oil towns you'd probably enjoy more :D

0.78% drop in my more equity heavy blended funds, 0.52% in the rest.. to be fair you get more movement when someone farts in Tehran. Still any drop is a good time to buy.

We could really do with the dollar dropping thanks, superb value for you guys if you want to head to Europe for a holiday but not us when heading anywhere dollar based.
