Poilievre could have got 75% of the seats in Parliament next election if he'd simply said Trudeau is a retard getting us into a wrestling match with the US we can't win or even make them notice we were fighting

Instead he decides to tie the Conservative Party to the imminent horrible pain and humiliation for Canada

I thought Pierre was pretty smart but he is as retarded as Fidelito. Is there any leaf with an above room temperature (celsius) IQ?
Part of the reason why Canada is fucked up is that it exports its raw oil to America to get refined before buying it back. Like how the American colonies had to export raw cotton to England and buy fabric back.
Tarriffs do help to an extent, and Mr pp is focusing on tarrifing things that Canada can produce and get elsewhere. They're probably still fucked though
 
If there’s anyone who’s more economically literate than I am here, what’re the benefits and drawbacks of these tariffs, and how will it affect the U.S?
Prices for things we import from Canada will increase until we produce the same quantity of those items at home. According to the Dept of Commerce, the biggest US imports are Minerals, Transportation, and Machinery. There's no reason we cant produce these things at home (and we do), so if we wanted prices to come back down we would have to ramp up production or reduce the exports of the things we import from Canada.

Globally, we import alot more than we export. Because it takes time to ramp up production, Trumps tariff strategy will probably make prices rise and then ideally fall back to normal or lower levels once domestic production can make up for the difference.
 
Can anyone with a brain explain the tariffs war going on, doesn’t it push more countries to work with china?
 
He wasn't the Pope of Freemasonry
Obviously a Gnostic cult doesn't have an over arching leader. That's part of the definition of a "Gnostic Cult".
When he wrote his book, the Southern Scottish Rite made up 5% of all Freemasons.
That doesn't mean what he thought about Kabbalah wasn't the norm. He was the highest "level of enlightenment" a 33rd degree. So he obviously spoke with other 33rd degree-ers from both the American South and around the world.
because he was a massive perennialist.
Which is trying to find the hidden similarities between all religions. Trying to find "hidden truth" is what Gnosticism is.
René Guénon noted that Pike basically plagiarized all of his observances from Éliphas Lévi’s Transcendental Magic. Éliphas Lévi was an occultist weirdo and definitely a gnostic
So you agree they are Gnostic?
There is a poem from the 17th century where Rosicrucians literally brag that Freemasonry is under their wing. Rosicrucianism, while influenced by Hermeticism and Cabbala
So you agree they are Hermetic and Cabbalistic?
Freemasons literally founded most of America.
So you admit that masons worked as a conspiracy to get their objectives accomplished? Even to help start the US government.

My great grandfather was a 33rd degree mason. My Great grandmother was a member of the order of the eastern star. I loved them very much. They were a part of a weird Gnostic Cult. Watching that weird ritual before my grandmother was buried will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Secret societies are enemies to a free and open society. I don't care what your secret is, truth lives in the light.
 
I feel like the demands for the tariffs are not specific enough. I hope the U.S. has specific demands behind closed doors because otherwise it feels like Canada/Mexico can just pretend to start caring about stopping fent but have it all just be smoke and mirrors. This just feels like it's going to be causing problems for Americans/Canadians/Mexicans with no good, concrete end goal.

It forces countries that leech off on us to pay us our fair due, and increase jobs due to higher demand for local products in return. Win-Win, all for a temporary increase in prices on some goods. If any of the countries we're raising tariffs on try to work with China, that would not be a good idea. This basically marks them as economical enemies of Trump Administration until he's gone, and you've see what happens to his enemies. They will fold, just like everyone else, especially that cuck Trudeau.

The reason Canada is fucked is that treefuckers prevented Canada from building the infrastructure that would allow it to export crude oil in large amounts by sea. They only have the infrastructure to export it to Murica. (Since we are the only feasible customer, we demand and get a 10% discount on the global market price.) Without us buying, Canada's oil industry is fucked (97% of their crude oil exports go to Murica), and they only have themselves to blame
