Twenty Dollars

Quote from: "Herman"
Quote from: "iron horse jockey"Who does TD think has the resources to carry out acts of crime and violence against companies and their employees in Mexico? A local youth gang supplementing their bike theft income?



Street lights are brighter than TD.

Last time you were in Mexico? You sound like a scared little man?

In January. When was the last time you worked in oilfield services abroad?



You sound like an academically and socially challenged elementary school student.

Canada will soon be Mexicos little sister. Traveled through Mexico 15 times. Loved it every time. Travel is the best  thing you can do for your self.

I don't know about that, but I have so little faith in our elected leaders that could possibly happen.

What Canadian service providers potentially face in Mexico is no different than what they do in South America, all over Africa, the middle East or the former Soviet Union. Western companies and their employees are easy prey for organized crime especially when the gangsters have friends in high places. Canadian oilfield service hands are tough hombres. They won't be scared off.

But, only quick install or troubleshoot jobs? Still can be dangerous as hell, but living in lawless holes for years is obviously so much more risky.

Quote from: "Herman"I would like to see Canada and the US negotiate the UK's entrance into NAFTA. Kick Mexico out and bring the UK in. Call it TAFTA or Trans Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.

What's wrong with keeping it in the Americas Herm? Brown skin?

A developed economy that pays similar wages to the US and Canada or a corrupt narco-state. Use your little pea-sized brain Gomer.


That's called protectionism. Prices rise, wages become stagnant. So after a time, workers can't afford the shit they make. That new ford you have your heart set on will cost 30% more. Pea sized brain? Think again.

That's not protectionism. Protectionism is the super high tariffs or rules Japan and Korea employ to artificially protect their auto sectors from competition. NAFTA with Mexico is a bad trade deal for Canada. Former pm Chretien did not have put the interests of Canadians who elected him first when he signed it.

Herman what's it  going to take for Canadian workers to continue to work and make a good wage? Tariffs, taxes that your Gov. would assess to keep foreign products competive with products manufactured in Canada, if you all choose to go that way. Do you mean your PM screwed all Canadians,  or just the workers? Trump is proposing the same, tariffs and taxes to bring jobs back to the US. Protect the workers, who soon can no longer afford the stuff they make. Its already happend to skilled trades, police, fire fighters, teachers, people who can't afford to live where they work.

Strangely, regardless of cost of goods, people who have a good job can purchase much more than people not having a good job



Who wooda thot?



Even stranger, our proclaimed surfer seems to think that a few rich and many poor is a good thing

How enlightened you aren't. How again can Canada protect its workers? Tariffs, taxes. I say it's a shitty way to go, and you know what's that's  called. Shoulda woulda coulda. Pie in the sky Econ in Fantisy land.

protecting our people is what it's called .. a concept you seem to not like in preference to having many poor and a few rich as exists today



You have become quite a drama queen with all the scary intended to degrade terms .. as vs dealing with horrendous (and stoopit) trade imbalance



enlightened  :laugh: .. where's your nazi half when we need it?
