  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Congrats To Trump For The Liberal Party Win In Canadian Elections

Six months ago, the Liberals were headed for a solid defeat by the Conservatives. And then came Trump whose policies became the number 1 issue, propelling the Liberal Party to a stunning victory.

Only 100 days US has secured trillions in investments while Canada's globalists leftists will put environmental caps on Canada's resource sector, carbon tax industry & increase national debt even more. They've already, in just 9 years, added more debt than all govts combined over the previous 148 yrs. Healthy working Canadians in the private sector will move to the US in droves for employment opportunities and industries to avoid carbon taxes and tariffs. Only govt workers, elderly, disabled & homeless fentanyl addicts will remain. Alberta/Saskatchewan 51st state may be the only option. They'll get a world reserve currency, world access for their resources and a strong military.

100 days of seeing over 20% of our life savings disappear while prices rise and we lose the respect of the world. 100 days of losing environmental, food safety, and free speech protection through cuts in the EPA, FDA, NIH and takeover of the FCC to censor media unfriendly to totalitarian dictatorship.

The opposite was true for the USA. Congrats Canada.

Neither of those.

Just wondering because it's basically an open secret that the last two presidencies have been fueled by Adderall.

hmm

The DOW was at 41,795 the day before the election.
The DOW closed yesterday at 40,503.
That's down 3%, not 20%
You are comparing to the highs, reached when the market first reacted positively to Trump's election and to expected coming reductions in regulation and taxes.

I expect that the DOW will go up a bit over the next couple of months after the passage of Trump's tax bill and after a couple of tariff deals are announced.

Democrats should NOT be confused. In the end, Trump will take care of the rich and the those who own stocks. Inflation will be up. The average person will continue to be outraged at Trump's antics and over the cuts to Medicaid and other programs. However, I expect the DOW and the economy to do just fine, especially when compared to other world economies.

As an aside, unemployment in the private will continue to be very low, since Trump will continue to keep out immigrants and send home others (especially those for our colleges and universities).

Perhaps in the short term, but in the long term over the next few years, lack of consumer confidence brought on by cuts to social services, entitlements, and general indifference to anything representing a common good is going to affect Trump's economy. If we are fortunate, stagnflation may result, but recession is the more likely outcome.

I thought it was supposed to be over 200 tariff deals that were already done? I question the "deals" that we might see in the next few months, considering the rancor much of the world, to include Canada, the EU, Japan, Korea, and the Chinese (basically all our major trading partners) seem to have against Trump right now.

It will also be interesting to see just how much the deficit increases, particularly after the tax breaks.

I agree stocks will recover and tariffs will end.
Trump's staff needs to invent a back story so he can pretend they were successful. We need to pretend to believe it.
49% already believe it.
