It is deeper than supply chains, and unlikely to get under control. It is the core management philosophy that is at fault.
The reason they are asking Denmark is that Canada, and likely Mexico, wanted a deal on it, Trump wants it for free.
The problem is farm size. In Canada, egg farms will be in the range of 30k-100k birds. In the US, the farms are in the millions of birds. Canada does not have the issue the US has because smaller farms are more localized and have stricter regulations.
How can you keep it?
We do American better than they do. No american shithole would be safe.
If it comes down to it, the question becomes how much fuel and goods do they have in their supply chain.
Canada is: 60% of their crude oil and most of their refineries are built to only handle it, the only alternative is Venezuela, and they can't supply the same amount. 90% of their Potash, no other country can supply the same amount. Required for modern farming. 60% of their Aluminium, no other country can meet the supply. They also lack the smelters to produce it, even if the ore can be sourced. 100% of their peat. Required for modern farming. 90% of their Vanadium. Critical to a stupid amount of industrial processes.
This is on top of the hundreds of billions Canadians spend on US goods and services each year.
If they try anything stupid, their entire system will dry up.
Oh sure, but he illegally rammed three pipelines through to the BC coast to give oil and LNG to China, which doesn't want it.
Meanwhile he ignored the potential of a pipeline to the Maritimes, which could then ship oil and LNG to Europe. That would have revitalized the Maritimes and provided a much needed competitor to Russia.
Yeah, all for it.
We can thank Stephen Harper and Pierre Polievre for ignoring Europe for so long when we should have been there for you guys, helping you separate from Putin's oil and gas.
Hopefully Carney will remedy that situation, and we can all get rid of the despotic sycophants.
Yup, Canada is freer and richer* than the US.
*Note that the common measure of "economic success" is GDP, which does not include public sector or exports. As a result the country with the smallest public sector per captia and the least amount of exports looks significantly better than it actually is.
Chinese cars also are extremely unlikely to meet Canadian quality and safety standards.
That said, the SSybertruck got an exemption that needs to be revoked and fully tested.
The great lakes corridor and the west coast can be Canadian.
Mexico takes Texas and whatever else it wants, likely gulf states through to Florida.
Will to bet that Musk ends up owning it.
What if we're the other country and we don't want US Measles cases spreading up here.
This is a false narrative.
They were already planning to do that regardless of the election of the orange dumpster fire.
