@TerryMoran Why does Canada have 30% more expensive dairy than the US and have tariffs on imported dairy?
Or does that not fit your anti American ideology?
English
So having a stable trading relationship with our peaceful, democratic neighbor, with whom we share a 4000-mile border, has national-security implications?
Trump slams Canada with tariffs.
Canada diversifies exports of aluminum.
Trump starts war. Needs aluminum.
Genius.
Kashif Pirzada, MD@KashPrime
So Trump puts a tariff on Canadian aluminum... Which leads to Canada selling most of it to Europe instead... Trump instead imports it from his dictator buddies in the Gulf, and now that's cut off... And now there's nothing left to buy from Canada lol
English
@Americanvalues @johnstrong_ham @TerryMoran Well keep buying from Bahrain then as that’s working out so well.
English
@johnstrong_ham @TerryMoran You know aluminum and steel has a military use. Every country on earth protects domestic industries the military relies on. Its national security..... literally the most common use for tariffs....

How many export pipelines to the pacific currently exist in the United States?
Rise Of Alberta@RiseOfAlberta
The U.S. is clearly open to Alberta moving its oil to tidewater through American territory, bypassing B.C. entirely. An Independent Alberta would finally be free to move on opportunities like that without Ottawa standing in the way.

@HoyasFan07 In asymmetric warfare as long as you can keep losing your chances to inflict pain the other side can’t tolerate increases. And judging by the Iran Iraq war they won’t be defeated without a major escalation. It’s another Vietnam but this time the global economy is at stake.

all fine and good but they can keep Hormuz closed with precisely **zero** ballistic missiles.

NEW: Four of Iran’s key ballistic missile manufacturing locations and at least 29 ballistic missile launch sites have been damaged in the first four weeks of the U.S.-Israeli offensive, undermining Iran’s strategy, according to a @washingtonpost review and analysis by experts.

just line up tons of extremely valuable and expensive aircraft next to each other on airbases without even a tent over them let alone a hardened protective hangar.
what could possibly go wrong?
English
swedish air force model of spreading out fighters and being able to land + refuel them on roads all across the country looking real good right now.
plus norwegian model of keeping F35s inside mountain hangars.
meanwhile US and several western countries are like durr we can

@nova_what @prairiecentrist Oil companies aren’t paying for that pipeline and had no interest at pre war prices. There are no magic beans to grow pipelines.
English
@IHoward1749 @prairiecentrist Nothing needs to be nationalized.
The feds and BC just need to get out of the way.
English
We're nationalizing the oil sands, then?
Razor Oil@RazorOil
How come the Saudis maintain a pipeline operating at partial capacity ( currently full at 7mm bbl/d) as a strategic backup for contingencies, yet Canada can't even approve the construction of a new one that would take years to build, and in a weird way with a prerequisite for current pipelines to be running at full capacity at all times especially with WCS discounting…it doesn’t make sense. Let’s build !! 🇨🇦🫡🪒
English
@nova_what @prairiecentrist Saudi’s are nationalized hence they benefit and can pay for the pipeline.
English
@prairiecentrist How does building pipelines equate to nationalizing the oil sands?
English
he's not bright but i actually don't think he's dim enough to believe this.
Just lying.
I'd actually be amazed if he literally doesn't understand why persian gulf energy exports matter for the US economy.
You could explain it to a 4th grader in about 5 minutes.

@neoavatara Americans don’t want those jobs but AI does and it doesn’t pay taxes.

Let me be clear: I 100% support this. It must happen.
But...there will be consequences, including possibly shipping problems. But those are 17,000 good American jobs that someone can fill...if they choose to do it.

@boehmerB Without Trump’s war and the destruction in Qatar shipping natural gas to the east coast and liquifying it would not have been competitive.

@jkenney Their nukes were always for Israel and it’s far more likely would have used theirs first. They have a much further advanced program.
English
Without US-Israeli leadership, all of Europe would have ended up living under the threat of Iranian nuclear annihilation, armed with long range ballistic missiles.
A threat controlled by jihadi fundamentalists who believe it is their religious obligation to accelerate the apocalypse.
Like Europe’s elites in the face of Hitler’s massive military expansion in the 1930s, today’s appeasers would continue to look the other way and mumble about diplomacy until it’s too late.
Europe failed to protect its Jews from Hitler. But now the descendants of the Jews who survived Hitler are protecting Europe.

Presidents shouldn't behave publicly in ways that set a bad example for children. If a president does this regularly, you should not support him. If you do, you'll be likelier to compromise your own morals to accommodate his degeneracy.

VASSY: I'd love it if all politicians didn't talk to me like I was an idiot, but I also don't know if it politically hurts them. I'm old enough to remember Pierre Poilievre eating an apple and staying 25 points ahead for months

@HoyasFan07 The Iranians only need to succeed once to shut the strait down and achieve their strategic goals. The Americans on the other hand can’t miss and at some point the cost is not sustainable.

What happens if he invades + seizes Kharg and Iran then retaliates by attacking more GCC energy infrastructure (while Hormuz of course remains closed). The plan is then... what?
Or is strategic planning now "woke" / "gay" ?

@_cosmonaut1 @Wanita1 @sarobertsonca Carney may have a temper but Poilievre is such a dick his own party can’t stand him. And there is the gleeful acceptance of MAGA going back to the truckers. He’s no Robert Stanfield or Joe Clark.
