    It is out of hand here. US liquor is being removed from shelves. Grocery stores have Canadian flags beside products. Cost me 17$ for a 680 gram Kraft parmesan grated cheese. There should be cheese coin.
    It would be so much easier and more productive if Canada hires more border patrol, show effort being made.
    Nobody of sane mind would disagree with less illegals and drugs. Nuts.

    Tariffs only mean more inflation which is passed onto the consumer.

    The only time a tariff could be imposed is when a foreign made product is in direct competition to a domestic product. If there is no domestic equivalent, there should be no tariff.

    Trump's tariffs are politically driven to get other nations to change their policies. I can see where Trump is pissed at the Snow Mexicans and Mexicans because of narcotics and their unffettered immigrants whom them allow passage into Estados Unidos.

    Sidenote: China has been buying dore (pronounced as "door-ray") bars (raw unrefined bars from mines), taking them back to China for refining to .999 1 kg bars. Because it is in dore form, its purchase doesn't have to be reported for purposes of national holdings.

    We need an audit & assay of the "gold" in Fort Knox, Denver, West Point and NYC (Fed Res stores gold there too). I understand that a lot of gold was leased and some replaced with gold plated tungsten. China bought a bunch of those salted bars and they all traced back to Ft. Knox.

    I have trouble believing either involved party is telling the truth.
