Please elaborate. Which leader turned his back on his pre-approved agreement? Edited by ImaHeadaU, Jun 11 2018, 11:29 PM.

The withdrawal by Trump was a strategic play and reminded the G7 members that he means business. I wish there was a place I could place a wager as to when the wimps cave and agree to our terms on free trade. I'm guessing by Christmas if Trump follows through with some other tariffs. The auto tariff would crush them. |

This board should be required reading for all Canadians. Perhaps then they would realize that their belief that America is a friend and ally is nothing more than a myth! |

Well, they sure aren't reading the other forum. When Canada is willing to agree to have a mutual discontinuance of tariffs for US imports; and, US do the same as Trump suggested, it makes it hard to be friendly; and, with you and Brew using rhetoric that insults half of the US population (like Hillary did), it's not likely to improve. It would also help if Canada coughed up 2% of it GDP for military expenditures and not just send it troops to do battle and complain about it. Remember Canada leads the G7 pack (US, Canada & the EU) in % of tariffs on imports. "Recent World Trade Organization data shows that America's average tariff for imported goods is 2.4%. Canada's average tariff for imported goods is 3.1%, and the EU's average tariff for imported goods is 3%. That's: Canada - 3.1% EU - 3.0% US - 2.4% Edited by Banandangees, Jun 12 2018, 01:07 AM.

And you two surely don't want to face the fact that the US is winning big on trade across the border.
How big a trade surplus does the US need before it's "Fair"? . |

So what is your objection to evening the tariff playing field? Afraid of competition? |

1. The U.S. doesn't even produce much of the growth hormone free milk required in Canada. 2. The U.S. subsidies dwarf the tariff concerns. |

Sorry, Bert, you lose this one Big Time. Your whole argument that we should be playing on an equal playing field falls flat on its face as long as your gov't keeps dishing out subsidies to your farmers. So what is your objection to dropping the subsidies? Afraid of competition? Edited by Brewster, Jun 13 2018, 10:58 AM.
