If they would take care of their mess, I don't think that there would be any hesitation on getting that eastern line built.

The mess is all the fault of the feds to "deny" these projects by making things so expensive that the companies simply give up.
Canada has lots of high skilled workers doing low skilled work - thanks to excessive bureaucracy, red tape and rent extraction. Canada needs more competition in all industries, less red tape, less bureaucracy, more interprovincial trade and more exports for other markets, not just US.

Buy Canadian goods for awhile until this blows over. When the PC's come to power they can negotiate a new trade deal. As far as uneven trade goes, Canada per person spends over $6000 US on US goods. The USA per person spends $1200 on Canadian goods. Looks to me like America needs to dig deeper into their pockets to even out the trade!
Why are we import shipping onions and potatoes 2000 miles. Less trade if you ask me. It's DIY time. And we need to be more like Sweden and less like the USA. Goodbye Trump
Well the buyer decides the price to pay or not pay - so I’m curious to see what happens if we as vendors try to pass along the cost increase to US customers
It really does not help to diagnose Trump as « unhinged ». Either provide an analysis or say that you don’t know. Usually, we don’t go to the Business Council of Canada for psychoanalysis.
@scottsum1319 No it's the first one. "Crazy like a fox" when the man first of all doesn't even understand, or is lying, about who pays tariffs, and who Doesn't know what or where Spain is, or who just stupidly declared all people in the US to be female by executive order, reeks of rationalization to me. But then again, being a Trump apologist requires you to be even dumber or more dishonest than he is, so your answer doesn't surprise me.

These discussions have gone off the rails. How about doing what the Americans want - secure border, immigration, military? Further, inter-provincial trade and infrastructure projects should be front and centre. Opportunity knocks. Think big!
We definitely need stronger border and military to protect ourselves from Trump. We need to rump up trade with others. Border is an excuse and he will just move the goal post. Trump and Elon need to stop dictating to other countries
@@jackmidst8304 Is it? On the day Trump was inaugurated a US border guard was killed by somebody trying to sneak over from the Canadian side. Truth is, Trudeau has been letting scumbags into this country for the last 10 years and it needs to stop. The laissez-faire attitude towards security and the border needs to stop.
I'm so relieved to hear this interview with Robert Asselin. This situation is a valuable wake-up call. I have not been in support of Freeland's fighting position on tariffs. I prefer Danielle Smith's openness to working together with President Trump to find a mutually beneficial solution. She's a wise woman.
The little Canadian dictator prorogues parliament not caring that Canada is void of a democratic process to handle this issue. 340 MPs sitting on the side lines because he's trying to show how upset he is at his liberal colleagues and that he's still in control.
@jackmidst8304 Actually, he said he will resign in the future, but has not actually resigned at present. Why should we 'get over' the damage he's done when we have to live with it daily?
Robert is totally correct, Canada has no deliberate economic strategy and provide no infrastructure to support new ideas and technologies. Our engineering company moved to California in 2013 after running into too many road blocks and have since successfully launched three advanced technologies in the US and EU. Its a real shame as we would have loved to been able to develop and launch them in Canada.
China's products tend to lack quality. USA products will be more expensive, but may reverse quality lack. Taking defense into account, defense became very important especially because at the end it is U$ againts BRICS, and with the Red sea delema, panama canal importance started to show. Canada's continuing carbon tax contributed to a bigger problem, and yes Canada needs a strong leader asap.

Mr Ivison your commentaries are always so prejudicial. Tariffs. Nothing new. In 1926 Citroen established in Slough UK a manufacturing plant in answer to a 33% tariff on imported cars. That plant operated until 1965. All the talking heads are experts of nothing. I guess I have to include you in that premise. By their own hand US and Canadian companies and western governments decided a couple decades ago that “ outsourcing” manufacturing and expertise to India/Asia would be a good idea. The “post national” crap is just that. Trudeau ruined Canada. Biden the USA. How can you two prognosticate and say things like “ we will need to subsidize citizens affected by high tariffs.” We need a functional government. Border security ( laugh at that government is prorogued and no money) and get rid of supply management. What a concept.
mostly agree. But if the tariffs come in on cars at 25% and also apply to parts for these cars, then our Ontario car industry is doomed. I am all for harmonizing our economy with the US, and not with Mexico.
Another stupid comment…… and yet, why am i not surprised. Ago many so called canadians suffer from Quebec Derangement Syndrome. Get over it, if only for your own sake.

Diversify the economy. Only idiots would keep banking on one or two industries.

And not with USA
Diversify diversify diversify. Grow our own food. Only import what we can't grow or make.

New sort of tariff coming. It’s called buy an export license to sell into the USA. Not a cost on US taxpayers
Tariff cost get passed on to American consumers, so yes US taxpayers are going to pay.
That would be the same thing. It would increase the price at which exporters would sell to US importers, who would pass costs on to consumers.
Well the buyer decides the price to pay or not pay - so I’m curious to see what happens if we as vendors try to pass along the cost increase to US customers
