In regards to my "Canada is negotiating with North Korea to export Softwood Missile Launchers."


"Best thing Diefenbaker did was cancel the Arrow project, waste of resources trying to build an interceptor in the age of ICBM"

What a deal: Outdated Bomarc Missels for the Arrow.

Diefenbaker was after the Prairie Conservative vote and sacrificed Canada's Avionics future.

Personally, I'm kinda of happy to have the Trump's US embargo Canadian Softwood Lumber, Dairy products, Fish, Metals, Crude Oil , Hydro and our land ...etc under NAFTA. May be Canadian's will reconcile lower Taxes for the sake of Nationalism and cheaper comedies, Gov't subsidized or not.

The US has been reaping our Country far too long.

Fuck Anand Tech and Trump. Good by and farewell NAFTA - Leave Canadians alone. We sacrificed in 2 World Wars and have always been honest World Traders.

Suppose this thread is going to be marked by Anand Tech as being "You have insufficient privileges to reply here"

You get a ZERO point infraction for posting a thread with no link and no commentary, and the bolded above is your response? Take some time off to grow up.

It would be a shame if we only went as far as a trade war with Canada. The prophecy must be fulfilled. 54 40 or fight.

This trade war over soft wood has been going on for decades. Nothing new here. Trump is only using it to his advantage by pointing it out.

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/4/25/15419854/trump-canada-lumber-trade-war

American lumber producers believe Canada is unfairly subsidizing its lumber industry by selling timber from its vast public forests to Canadian producers at a very low price. If the government auctioned its timber at market rates, it would cost sawmills more money, and therefore even out the playing field. In the United States, the right to harvest timber on public lands is sold to the highest bidder.

The lumber dispute has easily become the thorniest trade issue between the United States and Canada, and many economists believe it goes back to the colonial era.

It really started to heat up, though, in 1982, when the American lumber industry first asked the Department of Commerce to take action against Canadian sawmills.

Canadians pay something like $80 for a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" Fir Plywood, a Canadian product, where as Americans pay $30 for it, mainly because of the US Free Trade NAFTA agreement Vs Canadian Taxes to subsidize NAFTA and that includes the exorbitant cost of a one way Postal Service.

Meaning Canadians pay $50 more for the same Canadian Product so that Americans can purchase the same for $30 less - Yet we pay almost 100 percent more for American Products = WTF!

Screw NAFTA - I'm all for Trump on NAFTA CRAP - It has to be Re-Negotiated to better both partners.

pcgeek11: MEOW - LOL

Canadians are the most highest Taxed People on Earth - Other then legalizing Pot we should consider decriminalizing Opioid s (Meth, Cocaine, Heroin, Fentanyl, Carfentanil ...etc) just as Portugal did to save costs on their National Health plan and end the War on Drugs thereby saving lives rather then the cost of imprisoning victims.

I see no better solution for a Health Care plan which prescribes Clinical Opioid's such as Heroin verses the cost of the War on Drugs.

And who's fault is that? Certainly not the US or Trump.

Your taxes are actually slightly below the OECD average.

We're going to war with Trump over cheese and wood. Gas up the moose and equip the battle beavers. It's going to be bigly. First Trudeau will knock him out in a bare knuckles boxing match, then we roll.
