"We're going to be demanding respect from other nations," Trump said.Β Β
Respect needs to be mutual. He sounds like the typical asshole uncle that always acts like they're owed respect be have never showed any in return.

Reminds me of this image:
This how the aholes in my company treated our vendors. Vendors said go suck it, leading to increasing lead times to "yeah I dk when you'll get stuff" for a year. The fact it happened 2x in a few year is mine boggling.
Ah, did you work for a Volkswagen or General Motors supplier in the late 1990s and early 2000s?
Because I recall that exact situation, and the resulting crash of quality.
Rofl I won't say much but let's say I'm very certain they were rehired somewhere I know and then fired for the same behavior. Lessons here is don't hire anyone from auto industry. They are just bullies.
Most of the world had respect for America before Maga surfaced and it was revealed that it was full of Morons and Nazis. At least more than was suspected before.
Respect is earned, not given.
I suppose Albertans in oil and gas should call Danielle and tell her to stop the clown tricks and join Team Canada now.
That would require them to have the ability to perceive consequences in the future.
These are the type of people that get a notoriously unstable job making 6 figures on a high school education and immediately lease a brand new $80K truck and start a coke habit because they can currently afford it.
Yeah. That's the Alberta legislature, but what about its citizens? They're gonna be out of a job unless Alberta thinks of something else.
I have an idea: do what Peter lougheed promised to do, which won the election for the cons for the first time in decades. Do that. He didn't, and they didn't, so maybe now? Just grab his notes.
Maybe we should do what I've been suggesting over and over and over and over and over again when I lived in Alberta and BUILD REFINING CAPACITY.
I just can't with them...I worked with so many O&G folks back in my day. Nobody ever wanted to acknowledge our dependence and vulnerability. Just whistling loudly past graveyard after graveyard.
they're going to be out of a job
Isnt that kind of their own fault, though? Aren't they the ones that keep electing these mini brains who only care about themselves?

Make America Great Depression Again
MAGDA!
"Felon who has had no need or interest in the price of oil, gas, vehicles or lumber makes statements about the necessity of oil, gas, vehicles, and lumber"
Fixed the headline
But we do need the Food that Canada grows and exports to the US. So fuck you trump you idiot. He bankrupted a CASINO!!!
He's probably right wrt the USA needing our exports, as much as it sucks for us.
Maybe now we'll actually diversify our industries and seek out new buyers.
Probably not though, since PP is gonna be in charge and that man baby only wants to double down on selling oil to the USA, and thats the entire extent of his economic plan. And by that I mean he is gonna throw money at oil companies and hope it magically turns into more sales to the USA.
What's the opposite of diversify?
Consolidation.
I mean we could just close the borders/ air travel a few days a week as a trial run to see how it goes. A trail separation if you will
Does that mean we can answer the late night calls from the EU?
Going to be so awesome when dealer lots get overfilled with Chrysler minivans and GM SUVs that nobody wants and can't be exported, meanwhile affordable Chinese EVs that Canadians actually desire are slapped with 100% import tarrifs as protectionism for American and Japanese corporations.
Minivans are the best. I own a DGC built in Ottawa. Reliable AF. Huge cargo capacity. Gets 21MPG on the highway. Basically use it as a truck, but it's way more practical than a truck because the cargo capacity is more and your stuff doesn't get wet when it rains.
Only real downsize is tow capacity.
I had a Honda Odyssey, it was a good (and powerful) all around vehicle, but I did not enjoy filling the tank. We drive a Fit now, average 35mpg city and 56mpg highway. Even filling that up bothers me lol.
The thing is I don't drive unless I'm carrying stuff, so a car without cargo space isn't useful.
I get it. That is the nice thing about the Fit, and its fold flat or flip up seats. We have put an 8 foot tree in it; 3 full size IKEA bucket chairs, 4 could have squeezed in passenger seat maybe.
Yeah, odyssey was like that. Super handy during Renos. I just didn't like the "fill'r up" price :)
Trump can go fuck himself!
That's the thing, Canada is mostly a raw materials exporter and the main importer is US industry.
It'd basically be like when China tried to "Wolf-warrior" Australia and ended up with coal, pork and grain shortages.
What a moron.
Trump can ban Canadian imports to prove that he's not bluffing
I'd love to watch the US handle skyrocketing prices because they got rid of all the immigrants, then they got rid of Canadian lumber and oil, causing those prices to skyrocket as well.
Add to that the costs of the yet again border wall, costs of the immigration ~~death camps~~ vacation parks with all the guards, legal shit and transportation, the tax cuts for the wealthy and the extra taxes for people who already can't make it to the end of the month.
So far, el cheeto is doing GREAT!
Something occurred to me while watching some news yesterday. It won't take ICE raids removing people from farms for the effect to materialize. The fear from raids will cause people to stop showing up for work at the farms before that. That's why I think we'll see the effects on food prices quicker.
Absolutely, the results are already visible, and prices in the US keep rising.
People voted trump to make the inflation go down and he just started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and is about to start one with Europe
Seriously, by the time he's gone, the US will be in shambles. Soft power will have evaporated, any good deals they had world wide will be gone, the US will likely never recover
