The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The bottom line on Canada is that while Trump may be bombastic and unnecessarily antagonistic - it doesn't change the fact that the Canadians are being idiots also.

The GOP candidate for Michigan Gov agrees with Dope.

Trump-endorsed Michigan gov candidate blasts US-Canada trade dispute: 'Stop acting like children'

“I understand how crucial our relationship with Canada is, and I understand how crucial it is that the status quo does not continue,” he told host Margaret Brennan. “Michigan has lost over 300,000 manufacturing jobs since the ’90s, and that cannot continue. But at the same time, we need the negotiators to go back to the table, stop acting like children, and negotiate a fair, mutually beneficial reciprocal deal that will benefit the United States of America and the state of Michigan.”

Of course, we had a brilliantly perfect trade agreement before. It had to be brilliant and perfect, because Trump agreed to it. But now, like any extortionist, he's back for more.

Note to whoever is the pliant seat-warmer in Caracas at the time, expect Trump to be back demanding more of your resources, in the future.
