No, they make money out of it. Didn’t you see how they handled tarrif.refunds?
What killed the negotiations was the stupidity, greed, and arrogance of Trump and his top advisors
It seems to me that they could not possibly have made these demands without the expectation that we’d walk away.
Heyyyy someone is paying attention.
Golly gee, it’s almost like they never really wanted to make a proper deal at all…
That would be money flowing the wrong direction. Not gonna happen with the billionaires in control.
I’d say those billionaires are ripe enough. Time to bring in the harvest.
Overripe. Best thing to do with them now is make billionaire juice.
Stick em in the freezer for billionaire bread later.
As with Medieval Europe, the Royalty, Lords and Landowners will claim poverty whilst the poorest will pay and suffer unimaginably.
Canada needs to start manufacturing drones (and artillery) in the far north, as far from the southern border we can logistically get away with.
We don’t have the facilities to manufacture drones, the flight controllers, motors, and carbon fiber would all need to be imported.
Canada needs to start manufacturing full stop, once we have some manufacturing independence from the USA and China “trade war” will not be the threat that it is now.
I’m not sure that is accurate. There are lots of Alberta Aero and Defense businesses making drones.
Are you sure we’d have to import all that?
Motors are easy. There’s a place in my city that rewinds motors, casting and machining would be needed, but Canada has excellent machine shops in Ontario and spread across other places.
Canada produces its own Prepreg Carbon.
Etc
Drone (quad copters) motors are an entirely different beast from normal AC electric motors used in industry. The core is a stack of stamped steel lamination that are ~30mm wide, special dies would need to be manufactured for those. They require special machines to wind because the stator is inside the rotor and it is so small. They need crazy small ball bearing that are only manufactured overseas.
And the same goes for the electronics. No one In Canada manufactures micro-controllers, MEMS sensors, or power electronics that would be needed for the flight controllers and motor drives.
It would be like manufacturing an entire line of 100% Canadian home appliances, there are 1000 sub-parts that we just do not make here.
We could though, Windsor is king of tool and die expertise. So the stamped metal would not be an issue at all.
And I’ve seen lots of custom machinery and automation in Canada.
The other stuff we could get into. And should. Canada needs a shift from Automotive to something else so we are less reliant on USA.
Yup, look to Iran and Ukraine.
Liberals: “No. We’re going to cut funding for healthcare, schools, infrastructure and environmental protection and give all the taxpayer money to wealthy corporations so they can survive in these difficult times.”
EDIT: Downvote me all you want. But I’m pretty certain there’s going to be austerity measures in place soon to save on government spending, and all that extra cash is going to go into subsidies for companies. And the working class will lose jobs and get jack shit.
What? Most of what you mentioned is funded by the provinces. Health and education are among the biggest parts of a province’s budget. And AFAIK none of the four most populated provinces currently have a liberal government.
So the federal government does nothing? They don’t enact any policies? They don’t give money to provinces for specific programs? Why do we even have a federal government? What do they even do?
/s
Where do you think provincial governments get money from? It’s not just provincial taxes, but also federal taxes with wealth redistribution. Why do you think Alberta wants to separate so bad?
The federal governments enacts policies that have to be followed by the provinces. They provide funding for specific programs. Whether it’s healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. If they decide to cut funding for these things to instead use it as subsidies to help Canadian businesses “stay afloat” (read : earn a little less profits) they can. And the provinces will just have less money to fund everything else.
You’re wrong and now you’re throwing a hissy fit .
Wow! What a convincing and elaborate argument! /s
Obfuscation fallacy. You’re smart enough to make convoluted and meandering arguments but too stupid to truly understand what you’re talking about.
I’m sure you have meaningful discussions online writing comments like that.
Go take your insults elsewhere.
Pot and kettle, you’re delusional
Hey hey hey now - i made a comment critiquing Carney’s government policies and was down voted to oblivion and had the most idiotic replies ever.
I’m a left leaning person that has no love for neo-liberal governments, but if you are to criticize, just make sure that it’s a legitimate complaint. The person you reply to can criticize Carney, but he should be correct in doing so. Education, health, and AFAIK even environment, is all provincial responsibilities. There may be transfers for all of those from the federal government, but it’s all managed by the provinces. So how can Carney and the federal liberals can say they’re going to cut funding for healthcare and education when they’re not funding it in the first place?
Unless you provide a specific source saying they will cut those transfers, this is inaccurate and is indeed worth downvoting.

And to show an unbiased opinion here is a news release from the Prime Minister’s office:
I agree with the environment but where are the parts about health and education?
Jesus. Can you not Google “Carney education policy” and “Carney health policy” on your own?

You sound like someone I know that exclusively reads Post Media and listens to talk radio. Read the constitution act, sections 91 and 92. You can just use an LLM because reading content of substance could be difficult for you.
Ahhhh another one. 👋🏻
