That smells like just propaganda from the media.

That was on our national news but Mike Powel my Sysop on this BBS

>> also heard al about it down there.

I didn't just hear it on the news, I saw the President's tweet about it. ;)

Oops, Sorry.. I don't follow tweets unless they get repeated on the news.. B)

I have a feeling things are not going to go anything like Trump hopes

It is already costing us some jobs, or at least delaying them. A tech

Yes, we are seeing the same things here. It's bad enough we lost over
30,000 jobs in one industry last month but now we keep hearing about
business expansions or new ones planning to move here that are being
cancelled, or at least postponed..

Right.. he's offered us 2 ways out of it. To either move all our

Two pretty crappy alternatives. ;)

I'm not sure you, as an American, should call joining you 'crappy'.. B)

Yes, if his ideas stay in place it will likely be many years before
they start to show any positive results, other than Trump's gov't
taking in hundreds of $Billion in tariff money.

I'm not sure why Pierre Poilierve would be of much use.
Mostly he is more like Trump than the others. [...]

That said, Mark Carney is a banker and will cause problems
of his own. He is still ahead for the past 4 or 5 weeks

Carney seems to be more level-headed and calm than PP.

True, although he is trying to back off on that now that he's
seen how much he bugs a lot of people, especially women.

PP is a master complainer. He hasn't actually shown HOW he

>intends to implement all the wonderful stuff he says Canadians
>*should* have.

No, they mentioned that after the debate tonight, that everyone
is making promisses but not explaining how they intend to pay
for them.

We won't know for sure until the last vote is counted but the
current thinking is that Carney is pretty much guaranteed to
win the election and the battle now is for whether he wins it
with a Majority of seats or not..

Popular vote polls shows him 5 or 6% ahead, but when it comes to
who will win more seats, the difference is even more in his favour.

Well, if not earlier it may turn into an emergency soon.. B)

Not according to Greenland anyways.. B)

No, I think a lot of the world thinks Canada and the USA are pretty similar
but there are a lot of fundamental differences between us. Not so much
that we can't be good friends and neighbours (usually) but there are differences that both of our people would not want to change over to
given the opportunity. Most Canadians I know who moved there for, say,
a higher paying job and the promise of lower taxes didn't stay very long.

But of course some do move, in both directions, and stay..
You can never speak for everyone..
