What did you like best? I’m not the biggest Trillium fan but haven’t had anything bad from Treehouse. If you ever find yourself in Maine hit up Bissel Brothers,

I liked the Re-Launch quite a bit.  I like the Trillium beers more than Treehouse.  Never had Bissel Brothers.

How did Canada fock around?  This was Trump dropping tariffs on them, which hurt their export ability to the US.  Nothing that Canada did.

Canada needs to work on their trading partners globally to replace the US.

By not monitoring their border and allowing drugs and terrorists to enter the US.

Oh you actually think that the tariffs against Canada are because drugs and terrorists?

I think it's certainly a part of it.  The fact that you discount it, just shows your ignorance.  The other part is about imports and exports on lumber and oil.  I'm sure you remember the whole annexation of Canada right?  I mean, you and your leftist brethren couldn't stop whining about it.  This was an example of Trump playing chess while you sheep weren't even playing checkers, but pick-up sticks.  Did you see how the leftists rallied up and kept Canada a socialist / borderline communist country?  Have you actually noticed that almost half of Canada now wants to secede?  Weird that it's mainly the provinces that control the oil and lumber, isn't it?

[supermike80 1,989]

Man...some people (like Ron) can be just so.....off.

It's hilarious when people like Ron, who as we know are actively supporting the demise of his own home country, thinks that the US market can be replaced by others.

Hilarious.

A better option might to be meet with Trump, realize you lost this face off, drop your tariffs and then the US will drop theirs.

Or I guess they could try to trade with other countries and replace the US.   You know, those other countries that levy tariffs on imports as well.

HA HA HA....

That one is my favorite liberal talking point.  So entertaining.  "The other countries will trade with someone else... "  Yeah, you mean the one with tariffs?  LOL

Federal statistics show US border authorities seized 21,889 pounds of fentanyl in the 2024 fiscal year. Of that amount, 43 pounds were seized at the Canadian border — about 0.2% — compared with 21,148 pounds at the Mexican border, about 96.6%.

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests few Canadians are open to President Donald Trump’s repeated pitches for Canada to become a U.S. state, though interest in it rises among Conservative supporters and those living in Alberta.

The Leger poll, released this week, says just nine per cent of Canadians want Canada to become the 51st state, while 85 per cent do not.

The rejection appears clear across all regions, political parties and age groups.

Support for the idea is highest in Alberta, at 15 per cent, and lowest in Atlantic Canada at just three per cent, with fewer than one-in-10 people in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia wanting it.

About 18 per cent of Conservative supporters said they want Canada to become a U.S. state, while 97 per cent of Liberal and NDP voters, and 94 per cent of Bloc supporters said they would not want that.

The poll suggests a similar level of disdain among Canadians when asked if they would like to become American citizens, with 12 per cent saying yes to that question, and 82 per cent saying no.

Nothing that you said is true, and I posted facts to refute your post.  And you call others ignorant.

The only thing funnier than someone saying that Trump placed tariffs on Canada for drugs and terrorists, is people saying Trump placed tariffs on Canada as retaliation for their tariffs.

But he has a plan.

First, he quoted polls...which of course are 100% useless.  Telling us what Canadians think about becoming a state.  Somehow we are supposed to care about that.  And polls are dumb anyway.

Second, he has suggested Canada trade with others instead of the US.   A great plan that I am sure will be successful in getting Canada out of the recession they are possibly facing.

Ron has it all figured out man.

This same thing happened to us farmers during Trump's last trade war.  Told you it would happen again.

Feel terrible for these hard working Americans but this is what they voted for.

Example of why being educated on elections is so important.

Keep dreaming that things will suck. But you'll have to wait until the dumbocrats take charge. Or you can just stay in that shlthole California. Since the libtards run that place. 

In the mean.time I'll continue to enjoy our economy and the good times now and ahead.

What retarded MSNBC pundit told you that?  

You had to say "more" inflation instead of the definition of stagflation which is "high" inflation because 2.7% isn't "high"   

That was GutterBoy level stupid.

Stagflation is not "high" inflation you idiot.

Stagflation is when you have inflation with stagnation.  It's inflation without growth.

What we saw in 2021 was high inflation but it wasn't terrible because we were also growing.

Imagine prices going up, wages not, job losses, etc.  that's stagflation.

I have to explain everything to you.

Tiny brain running wild!   Thinks I said only high inflation. There is a different name for that - high inflation.

Let's go to Fidelity for the definition.  

Quote

Stagflation is the combination of high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and high unemployment.

2.7% isn't high.  That's why the pundit said "more".  Square peg, round hole.

Low/Mild Inflation is defined as anything less than 3%.

Federal target rate is 2%  

It can be higher than you want without being considered high inflation.  

This isn't even Economics 101, it's common knowledge.  You should take break. We've established multiple times this isn't really a strong topic for you.
