Default China saturated

We think it's bad in Alberta. It's apparently worse in China and since they have an abundance of cra p to unload on the world it could make things harder for other nations to recover.

I wonder how selfie will protect Canadians from the glut of substandard product that are going to be dumped into the world market?

Shoot.

There goes the idea of buying the latest Apple Iphone. Or most of my electronics.

Oh well, I'm sure North America will supply them.

China owns most of the American debt, cashing in on that would topple that super power.

Good choice. Especially since it is made in Canada.

I have no respect for someone who treats the position as if it is a TV reality show.

Don't have to respect him. I refuse too. The majority of the west isn't happy. He isn't listening. I didn't vote for him nor many others here. The majority of Canadians( the east) HIRED him to do a job. A job at which he is failing at. Zoolander should be fired on the spot.

I respect the position.

The person who holds it has to EARN my respect. So far, Trudeau Jr. has severely under-performed in that endeavor.

I didn't like Chretien one bit or his policies, but he was prime ministerial. I didn't agree with all Harper did, but he was prime ministerial. Trudeau? Not one bit, and it doesn't look like he will grow into it.

So just to be clear on your respect meter - it reads "0".

I'm in the same boat with you on this one.

You earn respect.
He has yet to earn it.
He has however shown Canada that he is a ******* not worthy of being in charge of a classroom let alone in charge of a nation such as Canada.

But then what do you expect when you promise to let people who want to smoke pot all the time and we have a whole generation who want to be stoned?
Duhhhhhhhh I can't Think straight............... ahhhhhhh I'm not suuuuurrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .

Never mind back to our regular program for adults who now have to live with the consequences.
Again Respect is earned not automatically given in my books.
Selfie hasnt earned it.
He won't protect Canada from the glut of chinese garbage that is going to hit the market which is only going to hurt more Canadians which was the whole point of my 1st post.
That will only sent our once great nation further into a Greece like tail spin and with the bail in we have him working on......watch out.

Why? Libs didn't when Harper was PM. Turnaround is fair play. Deal with it.

Yes it is good news Harper didn't leave this country in as bad as shape as the Liberals have led people to believe. You don't really think this is Trudeau's doing? Unles you are including the public sector jobs?

The fault lies in spending tens of billions of dollars that we don't have. Spending our way out of a recession... really smart.
