Okay, how about this.. Just today one of our small more touristy airlines has closed down two regular runs that go to the USA because they said that the number of Canadians flying to the USA compared to last year is down by 320,000 seats. (That would be a total, not just their flights.) And Canadian tourist places are going crazy trying to keep up with all the Canadians now travelling in Canada instead of heading south.

What do you mean? They are saying that most of the Traiff money collected will be used to lower the taxes for richer people there. I'm not sure where they got that information since Trump would definitely want to hide it from the average person but, unlike here, I haven't heard anything from Trump about using all that Tariff income to subsidize ordinary people down there hurt by the higher prices or job losses. Here they say they will use the money to highly subsidize unemloyment services and shore up companies losing business. AT>Also, I don't understand how losing 1.9 million jobs will make prices go up. >What's the scenario that makes that possible? The problem with compound sentences. B) Prices will go up so people will buy less and companies will possibly be forced to reduce their work force or even close down because of that.

It seems every time things start to settle down a bit Trump comes up with something new to panic the world. Maybe he just likes being the center of attention and is willing to say things that can do damage to others, and even your country, to maintain that. --- * SLMR Rob * * Send just $50 * * Guaranteed Gullibility cure! * * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
