Canada

Trudeau seemed to care too much about Smith in his response, as if LPC will win a seat in that province. US Petroleum Institute (lobbyists) said only that they were working with Trump (not Canada) on objectives, though did say they prefer no tariffs. US industry needs to make statements more supportive of Canada than they are so far.

I don't agree with starting long term investments today. US is comitted to LNG overcapacity. I'd like to see tariffs on China dropped where possible.

Short term, export tariffs with proceeds split equally between fed and provinces where fed portion is given as cash to Canadians, and province can choose whether to support business or people. This is the right path to hurt US consumers and get them to complain to Trump.

What bothered me the most about Trudeau's speech is the commitment to military/policy alliance. All US defense purchases need suspension. All fentanyl/border efforts eliminated, and savings from border security until tariffs removed. All of the projects they did this week restored as reward for removing tariffs. This is an act of war. Immediate high level meetings with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. There is a need to speak like Trump... Canada has been "taken advantage of". CIA/US propaganda arms must be disposessed immediately. NORAD fees payable to US must be set to extortion levels, and any US escallation threats must be responded with threats to replace US presence at NORAD sites with Russian presence.

Key is getting US companies to show loyalty to Canada supply chain and customers. Get EU to show loyalty to Canada. Any insufficiencies must result in drastic changes of alliances, and efforts to win this war.
