Did Ontario premier D'oh Ford step in a big pile of do do?

He put a tariff on electricity being sold to The US. Trump has thus threatened to shut down Ontario's auto industry. I think Ontario needs the auto industry much more than the US needs Ontario electricity. Last time anyone looked Ontario was paying the US to take its excess electricity.

@JohnOlinger81 Marx Carney. A really evil little man.

So what was the "correct" response? Go crawling to the White House to thank the incumbent for the wisdom of his unique economic insights?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@SunshineGirl The correct response would have been to become its own nation. Canada used to be British then it became American now it is in the process of becoming Chinese. It refuses to be Canada. Sadly for Canada the US will not let its northern border and biggest trading partner be Chinese so Canada has an option. Become your own nation and act like an adult or be taken over by a nation that is tired of carrying your books home every night only to be slapped in the face for doing it.

@hippyjoe1955 It is possible to be a strong nation and share in the benefits of economic interdependence and international friendship. Trump's alternative vision of world order is essentially for each country to sit in their own individual cave throwing rocks at one another.

@SunshineGirl Let me guess you watch CBC a lot. Too funny. Sorry but if you have an actual intelligent comment to make you are more than welcome. Just one question - Do you want to be part of China?
De growth. Crush the population and own everything, then milk em using war economics. Doesn't everyone in the USA back this? Nobody once ever voted or spoke against it - never here!

@hippyjoe1955 It will take at least 6 years to move production to USA , who is paying meanwhile ?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@hippyjoe1955 It can bankrupt car manufactures on both sides of the border.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

Trump is doing this to Canada.

You still support the leopard that has eaten half of your face. "But Trudeau..."

@hippyjoe1955 Do you want to be the 51st state?

Sounds like it.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Burnley123 What I would love to be is in a nation that takes into account all of its regions and lets people live their lives as they see fit. Canada fails on both those counts as Alberta has been and continues to be shut down and held back both economically and socially because other more populous regions believe that only they are true Canada. I suspect you would have to live here to know what I am talking about. But in a nutshell Canada is a tiny little strip of land along the St Laurence River and along the northern shores of the Great Lakes. Anything outside that small area is the realms to be ruled over and used to the advantage of true Canada. There is an old cartoon over 100 years old that shows a map of Canada with a huge cow spanning across it. The cow is being fed by the areas to the west, is being milked by the region in the middle and is crapping on those in the east. It is true. That little strip of land where the milk flows freely runs Canada.

@Burnley123 here is a slightly more politically correct picture of that old cartoon

Ford is the only Premier with any ballz
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Lilymoon I can't see any evidence that Ford is conservative in anything other than name. Pierre is certainly better than Marx Carney or the guy in a turban but I don't think he will repair Canada in ways it needs to be fixed.
Lilymoon · F
@hippyjoe1955 we really don't have much of a choice :/
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Lilymoon Yeah actually we have a whole range of options. Sadly CBC, CTV, Global isn't telling you what is going on. The fault lies with Canada not the US. Trudeau was an agent of China as is Marx Carney. Both of them work(ed) for the destruction of Canada which believe it or not is not Ontario alone.
