QuoteA Clinton win virtually guaranteed that one big loser in the 2016 election would have been us. Had she been allowed to govern as she was resolved to, Canada would have paid the price for as long as eight more difficult years — probably more than they will under even a loose-cannon amateur like Trump. A president Hillary Clinton would have implemented policies that would have been sure to drag down the economic growth of an economy upon which Canada overwhelmingly relies for its own.



She has been unapologetic about her plan to increase taxes, promising to raise the estate tax and capital gains taxes (where she planned to hike the top rate from 23.8 to 43.4 per cent) and she had proposed to tax high-frequency stock-market trades. She had said she was open even to new payroll taxes, which would have injured American competitiveness yet further. And her campaign said she would "take a look at" a carbon tax, if Congress had proposed one. Congress, still firmly in the hands of the Republicans, will now entertain no such thing.



Trump had expressed unqualified support for importing Canadian energy in general, and the Keystone XL pipeline in particular. Clinton, on the other hand, once a staunch Keystone backer, had chosen to flip and turn against it, as a way to appease the most left-wing Democrats. Canadians, and struggling Albertans especially, can renew their hopes that we might soon be sending up to a million more barrels of our oil every day to American refineries.



Just as importantly for Canada's exporters, Trump has promised to slash U.S. federal corporate income taxes — those combined top marginal corporate rates are currently some of the highest in the world — from 35 per cent to 15 per cent. Eager to lure home the US$2.4 trillion of American corporate profits sitting idle offshore, Trump has shrewdly promised a one-time, low tax rate of 10 per cent that, if enacted, will encourage major corporations to repatriate their cash and reinvest it back in the U.S., a massive private stimulus program that will do much to spur demand for Canadian exports.

He has a pro growth agenda, but we will see what the Republican held congress will do. Obamacare is easy to repeal, but replacing it will require 60 votes in the senate and he does not have that.

Good point.  I think unfortunately everything, or nearly everything Trump will try to do, will be filibustered by the democrats.

Hi Shen Li.

Quote from: "Angry White Male"My stocks are doing OK.



And remember, even if Trump rips up NAFTA, this may be even BETTER for Canada, as we'd revert back to the old system of Canada/US trade, which DIDN'T include Mexico.



Remember when things were made here, or in the States?  That was FORCED.  For DECADES Canada and the US had a pact...  And it worked well.  For instance, any US car sold here, one had to be built here.  That was Auto-Pact.



And it fucking worked.



Mexico was the only one that won with NAFTA.

Quote from: "Angry White Male"Yup!  Banned for nothing!

Quote from: "shin"I think you Canadians are going to experience a boost in population from American "refugees" fleeing the Trump regime.

Quote from: "shin"I think a lot of people mistakenly believe that U.S. Presidents can do what they want along the lines of their personal interests. Though many actions may seem biased, I think most people in office have to follow a set of guidelines that would suggest they're only co-signing the political decisions made in their stead.



It's a job, not as much of a privilege as it it may seem. Look at how stressed every President looks after a couple of years on the job.

Now that the Democrats have told the white working class to go fuck themselves, who would. Not that this is a surprise. They have been trending towards folks with money and influence and abandoning workers since Bill Clinton. Hillary's candidacy made the separation with blue collar workers official.

QuoteEver since the U.S. presidential election, Ed Dahlberg has pretty much had a smile on his face.



Dahlberg brokers the sale of private jets, and already he's seeing interest pick up and used-aircraft prices starting to firm up. The sale of a single-engine turboprop aircraft that he recently handled went for about 5% more than anticipated.



"My phone is ringing off the hook" from people interested in buying used jets, said Dahlberg, president of Emerald Aviation Inc. in Manassas, Va. "Just the business climate feels like it's getting better."



The era of Donald Trump, a man long associated with conspicuous consumption, figures to be good to a whole range of luxury-goods industries. But perhaps nowhere is that excitement greater than in the private-aircraft business.



Not only is Trump, whose personal Boeing 757 became an iconic campaign image, seen as someone who'll be an advocate for the industry but he replaces a president who so often criticized private-air travel that he turned it into a taboo symbol of inequality and helped prolong a sales slump of almost a decade.

QuoteGeorge Soros lost nearly $1 billion as a result of the stock-market rally spurred by Donald Trump's surprise presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported.



But Stanley Druckenmiller, Mr. Soros's former deputy who helped him score $1-billion of profits betting against the British pound in 1992, anticipated the market's recent climb and had sizable gains, the newspaper reported Thursday, citing sources it didn't identify.



Mr. Soros became more bearish immediately after Trump's election. But the stock market has rallied on expectations that Mr. Trump's policies will boost corporate earnings and the overall economy. The S&P 500 Index has risen 5.6 per cent since Mr. Trump's election through Wednesday.



As a result, some of Mr. Soros's trading positions incurred losses approaching $1-billion, the Journal said. Mr. Soros exited many of his bearish bets late last year, avoiding further losses. The broader portfolio held by Mr. Soros's firm performed better. His firm gained about 5 per cent on the year, according to the report.



Mr. Druckenmiller took a different tack. At an investor conference on Nov. 29, Mr. Druckenmiller expressed a bullish position on the American economy following the election.



Mr. Druckenmiller said then that the euro could weaken to 82 cents against the dollar. He also said yields on the U.S. 10-year Treasury should rise over the next year or two from their then current level as long as the incoming administration sticks with plans, such as tax reform, designed to boost growth. He was also short the yen and global bonds, according to people who heard him at the gathering, which was closed to the press.



Mr. Druckenmiller, who manages his own wealth, said at the time his returns for the year were in the low teens. He averaged annual returns of 30 per cent from 1986 through 2010 at his Duquesne Capital Management.



A representative for Mr. Soros wasn't immediately available to comment.
