It's not just Trump's tariffs that will hit Canada's economy, he is deregulating his industries while we go in the opposite direction.

In 1992, Ross Perot warned of a giant sucking sound if the United States allowed Mexico into NAFTA. The billionaire businessman was running for president and said jobs and investment would flow south from letting Mexico join the Canada-U.S. free trade deal.

Right now, Canadians need to be worried about a giant sucking sound as jobs and investment head south to the United States.

It's not just the tariffs, it's the deregulation of the American economy, the unleashing of that country's potential while we shackle and smother our own. As the Trudeau government continues with economically harmful policies like the carbon tax and emissions caps on oil and gas production, Trump has signed orders to allow America's oil and gas sector to flourish.

He not only signed an executive order declaring a national energy emergency which will speed up the approval of energy infrastructure projects like pipelines, he signed another one allowing great exploration and drilling on federal lands and another opening up resource extraction – including oil – in Alaska. He has authorized the fast tracking of developing critical minerals projects, the expansion of timber harvesting and to prioritize the development of Alaska's liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

Over the last several years, we have done the opposite of all of these actions. We have made it less attractive to get involved in developing natural resource projects, put a tanker ban in effect on British Columbia's coast, and all but banned the further development of LNG.

Now, our closest ally and trading partner is about to make it really easy to do business in their country, while we continue to make it harder. Oh, and that's before an ongoing threat of 25% tariffs on all exports to the United States.

Where do you think investment and jobs will flow? They won't be going north, not until we have an election and rid ourselves of the Trudeau Liberals.

When Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday morning that all options were on the table, he apparently meant having his party shoot Canada in the foot was an option, as well.

"There is always going to be a certain amount of unpredictability and rhetoric coming out from this administration," Trudeau said, referencing the Trump administration — but he could have been talking about his own.

We need an election now to rid ourselves of these fools. That's a sentiment shared by 77% of Canadians, according to an Ipsos poll released Tuesday morning.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said that Parliament must be recalled to deal with what amounts to a national emergency. He said that MPs must vote on funding for new necessary border measures and that MPs need to have a say in imposing retaliatory tariffs on the Americans.

"Yet, Liberals have shut Parliament in the middle of this crisis. Canada has never been so weak, and things have never been so out of control," Poilievre said.

"Liberals are putting themselves and their leadership politics ahead of the country. (Liberal leadership candidates Chrystia) Freeland and (Mark) Carney are fighting for power rather than fighting for Canada."

Right now, Canada needs leadership and instead, we are getting a Liberal leadership race.

We need a new government, a new direction and new policies. The only things standing in the way of that would be Justin Trudeau's bruised ego and the ambition of Freeland and Carney to become Liberal leader and prime minister — even if only for a very brief period of time.

Trudeau has deliberately held back Canadian productivity, investment, and living standards for nine years. It wasn't as noticeable under Biden because he was pursuing similar, but not as aggressive slow growth policies. This cannot cointinue lest we become like Greece. We need an election and new direction immediately.

Now Canada is facing an ultimatum from the new administration in Washington. An administration that will do everything to make Americans affluence grow. Do something about illegal aliens and drugs crossing the border or face serious economic consequences. I

Trudeau has put personal and party interest ahead of the national interest. Seventy seven percent of Canadians want an election immediately according to an IPSOS poll. Give us that now so we can get a government in place that will negotiate an agreement with our largest trading partner on behalf of Canadians.

Watch Immigration Minister Marc Miller put the party ahead of the national interest.

I remember not so long ago when Trudeau and his sycophantic caucus thought Elon Musk was virtuous.

Before Justin Trudeau, I never gave politics much consideration......Justin Trudeau made sure we couldn't ignore the federal government as he intruded into our lives..

I wish families could go back to ignoring Ottawa like we did under Stephen Harper, Paul Martin, and Jean Chretien.

The liberal mentality is to control every aspect of peoples lives. They are power hungry mad men who have no regard for personal freedom or choice. They accuse the right of fascism while practicing fascism. Its bizarre.

We've never had a more intrusive federal government than that of Justin Trudeau.....and families are worse off because of his interference..

I hope we go back to having the federal government irrelevant in our lives.

A new poll finds more than seven in 10 Canadians believe the country needs to ensure oil and natural gas pipelines are running from sea to sea.

From an NDP premier in B.C. to a UCP premier in Alberta, the idea of backing major energy export developments — projects that can take up to a decade or more to approve and build — is gathering momentum as Canada seeks new markets in the face of a tariff threat from our dominant customer.

A new survey by the Angus Reid Institute backs that up.

It found 79 per cent of Canadians agree the country needs to "ensure it has oil and gas pipelines running from sea to sea across the country."

The idea was backed by 89 per cent of Albertans, but more than seven in 10 supported the idea in every province — including Quebec and British Columbia, where opposition to pipelines has traditionally been the fiercest.

Many Canadians including staunch conservatives are talking about shifting away from the US & trading with BRICS & the EU. Ie - the Globe and Mail

Your country is a boiling kettle with an unstable leader ready to explode Lokmar.

Canada would be better off as an associate member of the EU like Norway and Switzerland eh. The Europeans need our gas and oil just as much as the United States.

America reminds of a good friend we used to know who's gone astray & we don't understand him anymore.

If I give you a loonie to buy a coin will you post five times in a row in the Shoutbox?

Funny, all the Canadians I hear from HATE trudeau and the liberals. Its just you who tells us otherwise. Hmmmm.

I think you're like all the blue haired sky screamers who said Trump was Hitler the last 4 years. Sucks to be you when you cant figure out why your countrymen told your side to fuck off and die.

Are you still responding to that boring old troll. Ignore him and he will stop trying to get into your pants.

His government has spent nearly a decade trying to keep Canadian energy in the ground and when support for oil and gas infrastructure we are supposed to believe scumbags like Wilkinson and Carney have had a change of heart.

Be that as it may, the blame will be laid squarely at the tariffs doorstep and any consideration of regulatory excesses will get scant coverage on a media landscape that is controlled exclusively by the same globalists working to enslave you. People like JoJo and his brainwashed handlers will gobble it up, it will be amplified on the CBC, CTV, Global et al... because these outlets are beholden under licensing and/or funding agreements that can easily be turned off at the spigot if too many presstitutes plying their trade on those street corners start spreading the Establishment AIDS of reporting what is actually going on instead of the spin that causes the least amount of damage to them. Yes, that includes the Toronto Sun, and at the risk of getting your hackles up, I would cordially invite you to find your own words to express such analysis in place of echoing their talking points verbatim and uncredited. I'd rather an independent's take on the situation, particularly when I am going to the trouble of offering up my own words in a reply.

That aside, there's nothing that Trump is doing on the US's behalf that I haven't seen waged at the US's expense for decades. Take the tariffs flap; a cursory inspection of the tariffs Canada levies against the US are truly mindboggling, but you'll never hear that in Canadian media, nor the leftist controlled US media either. And this goes back many years; far longer than Trudeaup's been in power. Trump is the Bad Man for threatening to return the favour if Canada doesn't get a handle on the fentanyl trade across the border? I don't think so; fuck that noise. Yet consumers of the Mockingbird Media that is North American news outlets are all wholly convinced that Trump's actions are those of of a dictator, completely oblivious that they are failing to hold his peers to the same standard.

It's a protectionist racket and Trump is rocking the boat. Because he is and because he does not exert control over the old timey-wimey propaganda and propagenda outlets... this is why so many leftards are keen to crucify him to their own detriment.

It is also why more conservative voices are so woefully inefficient in disabusing the left of such self destructive beliefs.

I fully admit that I quote the Sun verbatim. And you are not the first person to say that and you will not be the last.

If time permits, I add a very commentary to an article. IF TIME permits.

I am not Joe or his twin brother Edward. My online time is finite. That sounds like an excuse and fair enough, I accept the criticism.

We are into tax season now, which is my busiest time. You can expect more posting verbatim editorials from people like Brian Lilley or Lorrie Goldstein. After that it's golf season and I'm online ten minutes a day at best.

If you want me to offer more than a half penny you might have to wait until late fall.

Japan wanted to invest in and secure more LNG exports two years ago, but Trudeau said no. Now Japan is getting a deal from the Trump administration.

This is the very deal Japan asked Canada for two years ago, in an attempt to wean their country off of Russian and Middle Eastern products. Trudeau refused their request, but on Friday, Trump boasted of what he says will be a great deal for America.

"I'm also pleased to announce that Japan will soon begin importing historic new shipments of clean American liquefied natural gas in record numbers," Trump said.

That's fair and I do desire your input on any given topic, particularly if we are going to have a back and forth on it. Your input (genuine input that is) is not as far as I am aware dependent on a paycheque derived from a licensing agreement inked by some government flunkey; it follows there is at least some scope for either or both of us to influence each other's views of the world in a more organic way than is possible with paid-for comment (which is effectively pretty much all of what we'd be getting from the legacy media outlets these days.

Remember, I used to work in media and have since come to despise its tendency to be employed as a propaganda outlet. The considered commentary from a boots-on-the-ground individual trumps it every time for me, irrespective of whether I agree with what is being expressed or not.
