What's up with all the spaces between lines, XXX-er? I know this forum hasn't exactly been easy to read lately with all the technical glitches, but your weird post formatting isn't helping.

[XXX-er]

I can leave the extra spaces out

[jono]

I can leave the extra spaces out

You Canadians often find some weird humble brags, but not this time. Well done sir.

[XXX-er]

I was trying for and found it easier to read with extra spacing but wtf do I know, I think the forum and how it reads changes form day to day

[The AD]

If you can actually manage to even access the site anymore.</p>

[XXX-er]

SO altho it might not look like I would go advanced and check what I wrote I always did but churning out e-mails was my second language so to speak as an an IT perfesional so most of the e-mails I recieved i would just leave until they no longer applied LOL

so this site just makes it harder to write something readable

Yea! Trade war. That's always smart especially with a master strategist like dummy Trump calling the shots.

In a way, I'm sort of glad it's happening now. Spaz Trump had extra time to show the world what a bad faith, untrustworthy menace he is so no one is going to pretend like he's not just going to change the terms again in a day/week/month to suit his latest need for attention and vengeance.

Who knows if we're past the point of no return, but a fucking trade war actually has the chance of being so bad that someone might grow some balls and reign this moron in.

Ahhh... my sweet summer child.

[DougW]

Who makes a announcement like that during the day when the markets are open? In Canada any PM or Fin Minister would lose their job. Anyway in Canada the reaction is muted other than oil stocks as trump ( POS) did not mention the carve out on energy.

[LeeLau]

Ahhh... my sweet summer child.

Agreed...the USA ( United is ironic) is so divided that half will support either a shooting or trade war.

Glad the foreplay is over...now it's on

Tanking the Canadian economy is an interesting way to get their military expenditure to 2% of GDP.
Sorry my Canadian friends, this is no way to treat an ally.

From Doug Ford for Ontario...let's see if he does it

From the transcript:

> We'll respond strongly, and we don't want to. On the critical minerals. I will stop shipments going into the US for nickel. It will shut down manufacturing because 50% of the nickel you use is coming out of Ontario.
>
>
> I've ordered our bureaucrats to cut off tens of billions of dollars of contracts that we have with the US. We are the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world. We buy over 3600 products from 35 states. I talked to the governor of Kentucky and Mitch McConnell “Don't touch our bourbon” I'm going after absolutely everything, and I don't want to. We keep the lights on to 1.5 million homes and manufacturing in New York, in Michigan and in Minnesota.
>
> If he wants to destroy our economy and our families, I will shut down the electricity going down to the US. And I'm telling you, we will do it. It's unfortunate. I would rather ship you more electricity, ship you more critical minerals. I want to ship you more energy, more potash to keep your farmers going. And uranium that you use for your nuclear power.

You can get to 2% by changing the numerator OR by changing the denominator (tapping side of head...)

[gravitylover]

Hopefully that powering down is Western NY not the Adirondacks where I will be tomorrow.

[shroom]
