BELIEVE IT OR NOT

 The population of Canada is about 41.6 MILLION, that alone help with the buying and selling of goods and services. Sustainability is reached fairly in every province within Canada. Just the millions of inhabitants  alone can be the consumers, the buyers and sellers. However, because some companies and manufacturers had manufactured an overtly over supply of goods and that's why they have to trade with other countries. Other countries do the same thing if their supply is overflowing. Other countries would like to trade their goods in exchange for goods that they don't have. 

Long time ago the trade & commerce is through BARTER. No cash involved. Barter is fair exchange of goods in the same amount and weight. The value changed only if the seller sells the product to a price that is favorable based on its quality and purpose. Example: A kilo of sugar in exchange for a kilo of wheat. A gallon of oil for a gallon of alcohol (just a sample of barter!). That's only for goods. However for service? Would somebody work for food? Salary or wage paid in the form of clothing, food or vehicle? That's the problem.

At present the critic wants the over supply of aluminum, steel and automobiles, and forest products to be sold in America. Truth is Canada's aluminum and steel favored by Americans but because of Trump he doesn't care about Canadian products. The only American president who disliked fair trade with Canada. Or maybe because of the villainous Lutnick.

 What the government under PM Carney is doing?  

What you can do with aluminum and steel? OMG! Don't we have several infrastructures in Canada using steel and aluminum? Buildings, houses, condominiums and bridges need those aluminum and steel. (Latest: The construction of speed-railways & bullet train from Quebec to Ontario). Hey, we need bullet train too in BC.  Automobiles? How many are too much? STOP the robots in making cars that nobody can afford.(That's why they ordered EV from China, in return China ordered canola products and seafoods from Canada).  Forest products? How many houses, condos, apartments you have to build when nobody can afford? Some people are happy living on tents. THE PROBLEM IS TO STOP OVERFLOW OF SUPPLY. Then you don't have problem trading with USA or other countries. Manufacture or make products ONLY IF THERE IS AN ORDER OR GREAT DEMAND. And you think about employment? Find other work. Be happy with just your lowly work that pays decent. You don't have to be rich without conscience and soul.

 

The boom of high technology had shutdown pulp and paper mills. There, who you have to be blamed? THE ONE PERCENT > BILLIONAIRES! They are the ones who are the leaders who are continuously the irritants that changed the whole world. They are powerful and influential in the monopoly game when it comes to supply and demand and pricing of all goods that's why we have great inflation, great unemployment and collapsed of the economy in third world countries. Then they said they help in charitable institutions wherein they are benefited. WEIRD. SO STRANGE. Its ok think of the ONE PERCENT AS DAYBREAKERS!! They are building their own bunkers to hide.

SUPPLY & DEMAND

 How honesty pays the price? Honesty the best policy? HIGH standard of living in  Canada and the US and the whole world knows that. That's why third world countries don't really know how poor some of the people here when they complain about the high cost of living. The complaints had something to do about how much bills are paid every month from utility bills to rent or mortgages. That's why BCGEU strikes and rally still in effect. Some workers for Canada Post are back to work. Then look at those teachers and health care workers on strike in Alberta. Teachers wont go back to work until their pleas been heard. 

For the Retirees and Seniors could only hope & pray for increase in their pensions. Pray for miracles!!

While the BLUE JAYS baseball fans prayed for another win for WORLD SERIES Game 3 ag. LA Dodgers, game to be held in California. UPDATE: For the first time in World Series, the game led to 18 innings. L.A. Dodgers winning 6-5. That was over 3 hours to 6 hours? Wow!! Neck to neck! And George Springer got injured and need an MRI. This is getting so strange and so weird.

PM Mark Carney made a deal with the ASEAN leaders in the TRADE SUMMIT in Malaysia. Trump didn't talk to PM Carney. They don't need. It's trade and commerce between ASEAN leaders. Trump is a difficult man to talk to with trade and deals of all kinds he changed his mind more often like an unstoppable train.  He doesn't think about economy and the crisis he created in the US and other countries with his demands. Making enemies instead of friends. It is un-American. It is not democratic. Is he sick? Right now, so many Americans wont have food on their table. Workers working without pay and a lot of complaints being aired on TV News Networks. HISTORY will record this presidency as the worst of all, when America's allies turned into enemies. More than century of American history will turn into dust? I hope not unless the Americans do something about it when it comes to fair trade and commerce. It's almost a year of deal and no deal with foreign leaders, what he thinks of being a president is a "tv host for deal or no deal show?"  Hmm, maybe he thought he is a television show host. People with dementia or a combi of schizo (with dual personality) they think of themselves as somebody else. They don't act their real self.

In Economics, what matter most is the LAW of Supply & Demand. That's the focus! What's in demand? What's in demand then there is  the rise of supply.

UPDATE: TORONTO BLUE JAYS the IN Demand now! Dodgers won last year and they made Ohtani their hero. Toronto had a galaxy of heroes in their team as if they are "Guardians of the Galaxy."

JUST FAIR ENOUGH

 The Prime Minister of Canada Hon. Mark Carney addressed the ASEAN Plenary economic Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He said it "right." No other explanation to justify the cause. 

The ad about former US Pres. Ronald Reagan was true, correct and factual, just that  Trump doesn't want to hear and the whole world to know.

Former W. McKinley doesn't like tariff either but he imposed tariff too. It will hurt Americans more than it will hurt other countries. Other countries especially Asian countries would just trade with their own countries within Asia. European countries would do the same. 

Without tariff, American goods and other foreign goods or products were already more expensive compared with locally produced then add tariffs then that's the end of trade and commerce. Just what Ronald Reagan said it will hurt Americans more than it will  hurt the other countries.

If Trump continues with his demand for tariffs, no other ships will be coming and going in American dockyards. Americans have to rely on their locally produced stuff. 

When I was in the Philippines in 1995, I noticed that the Philippines supermarkets such as Shoemart, Landmark & Rustan's already were patronizing Canadian products. Then with one million Filipinos in Canada, of course we are consumers/buyers of Canadian products from foods, clothing, cars, housing, and whatever is produced here locally. It is a give and take, buy and sell in fair trade and commerce.

STRIKES & TARIFF THREAT

 So many STRIKES happening in Canada. BCGEU still on strike and so as the Canada Post. Then there will be Teachers' Strike in Alberta.

Too many UNHAPPY people in Canada. Who wont be happy when everything here is  expensive. The high cost of living is too much to bear. The pricey rental for housing, the high falutin mortgages and high bank interest. Foods are without tax but the price of grocery has doubled, maybe they have hidden taxes. ? Who knows right? Clothing, all commodities getting more costly. I myself couldn't believe that products in Canada have no fixed prices, with the volatile economy... everything about price goes up almost everyday or every week. That boggles every mind here. 

The worst thing about it when minimum wage goes up, the price of everything from oil, gas to all products also increase and the wage increase is not much of help as in back to basics of problematic issue.

No fixed prices for everything. Consumer rights not being followed. If the government could at least warn the retail outlets not to increase the prices of goods for at least one year but that's not the case here. I think those retail outlets like playing with numbers, stretching prices whenever they like to shock consumers. At least with the price of gas stay at least for a week or two weeks then it goes up and down. The price of gas and price of oil had reached $2.5/ liter in year 2020 and thus goods and services had reached astronomically too high. Now that the price of gas ($1.7/liter) had been lowered in the year 2025, the price of goods and services should be lowered and rentals and mortgages for houses should be lowered too.

However, GREED is part of the anomaly and blame  the TARIFF THREAT looms like satanic cult in the making.

THE RIGHT & PRIVELEGE OF CUSTOMERS, BUYERS & CONSUMERS

 GETTING RID OF PEOPLE especially who are complainers are grounds for dismissal. ? There is that motto of "customer is always right!" 

But you know, if certain companies especially banks, airline or travel agency, supermarket, hospitals, clinics and other companies who failed to bring out the best in them should they or you have the reason to get out and stop using services from those companies. IT IS YOU who should get out and stop using those services. Find another company who can deliver the best action, service and result. Customer is always right as in you can partake and join CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT to teach them a lesson.

Reason why so many retail outlets, several schools and other businesses closed down and shut down its because they have employees or workers who are jerks, suckers, arrogant and without respect to their customers. The employers should have just fire or lay off those ignoramus to teach them a great lesson that to succeed at work wherein they work for a living to please and serve customers and if they failed to deliver then they lose the very important people who are the reason why they have work. Sometimes I don't know if those workers know about that. It is mind boggling. lol. 

Without customers without those very important people, how in the world you have a job?

KNOW WHAT?

 TOO MUCH TRAVELING! Good that gas for the jet is lowered and there is no carbon tax anymore, that the PM of Canada can travel around the world every day. The best job in the world!! It is becoming a leisure somehow. How many times he needs to travel to Europe? OMG! What products Europeans need from Canada? What happened is always just an ambushed for the PM to donate or fund the war somewhere there... It is more like deception.

MAKES ME WONDER.

He traveled out of the country more than Trudeau actually. How nice! Please just give him a broom to travel in and out of the country. Just kidding. lol

How Philippines trade in with other countries? It is not always that the President travels to different country... he has too many traders doing it. Every company has its own trade representative doing the deal and negotiations, it is not the President doing their works. If you know what I mean? Companies in Philippines are mostly privately owned it is their job to deal or negotiate. The Government has its on tasks accordingly & it needs RESULTS.

How many companies in Canada who have their own workers and their own traders or representatives doing their job? Some leaders don't really know their job or what job assigned to them. It is getting weird actually. 

I worked in Pharma before. It is not the President or the owner of the company who represent the company and doing deals and negotiations because there are "salesmen, advertisers, traders, deal makers doing that task for the company."  Even if the deals are in millions or billions of pesos or in dollars. The Big Boss only sign the trade agreement. Their nature of job is the most important as to approve or not the huge deal. 

When Premier David Eby was in different parts of Asia to promote Canadian products that's great. I think he did a great job. I don't know what other leaders are doing though. They should look at their own jobs assigned to them. 

Now ask me if GLOBAL WARMING and climate change is for real or a SCAM. First you really have to see the country where that Global Warming is taking place. Observation is a must. You must increase your bust! You must do your research thoroughly and must be done accordingly professionally by those Experts. Scientific thorough process must be involved. There are a lot of scams in our generation. Ask them if those WARS are SCAMS.  World War I & II, War in Vietnam, War in Korea, Iraq & Afghanistan  and the war in Yugoslavia they are true WARS. The rest of the wars are questionable. 

THE UNITED NATIONS has the right to question if WARS are demolition project, annihilation or genocide, or ethnic cleansing. They have the right to investigate if those WARS are just made up, fabrication or just the business of the acquisition of weapons, to promote nuclear arsenals, to disguise the unloading and disposal of of nuclear waste to designated country  or to prolong the country's leader to stay in power.

GLOBAL TRADE EXPANSE

 Premier of BC DAVID EBY is on economic tour to ASIAN COUNTRIES. Why not? I think he needs to expand economic ties to Asian countries such as Japan, China, India, Malaysia and Philippines. Maybe those countries are in need of STEEL & ALUMINUM and other valuable products of Canada.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC EXPANSION is more or less an Ancient tradition of South East Asian countries. Before Philippines was under the Spanish Conquest in 15th Century, TRADE was already happening way back then between Philippines & China, China between India, and Japan. Trades with all countries in Asia happened in 15th Century up to our generation now. 

CANADA should lead the way of expanding its trade and commerce to all countries in ASIA. You can use your military cargo planes, military being used in economic expansion is not a conflict of interest. It is economically wiser and of course strategically intelligent.

There's nothing wrong with trade and commerce with other countries in another continent. Global Trade Expansion is an old ancient practice by Asian people and who knows friendship with Asian people hold loyalty and respect and mutual understanding not just with economy but politically in this world full of chaos.

Counter Strike?

 Why US Pres. Trump always mentioned "Fentanyl" every time he was asked about the TARIFF that the reason why he's to impose 25% Tariff to Canadian goods its because of the illegal drugs Fentanyl coming from Canada. Really?

What is FENTANYL? Fentanyl is an opiod drugs to relieve severe pain during surgery and operations in hospital. It is more potent than Oxycontin. 

So why Fentanyl is prescribed by surgeons and doctors to their patients if its a "poison?"

It is poison if its given as an overdose. Because it is highly addictive, patients have no control of using and taking Fentanyl to relieve pain of their aches especially for those who are suffering of Cancer. Humans or some humans - the patients get addicted to pain medication! Sometimes, they don't follow the normal dosage. They died because of OVERDOSE. This has something to do with the users of Fentanyl who do not follow the required dosage.

ALL DRUGS, ALL MEDICINES HAVE SIDE EFFECTS. Not only Fentanyl can kill because of overdose. ALL MEDS can kill if you don't follow the required dosage.

I browsed from the internet: Fentanyl is manufactured in Purdue Pharma which is in Canada. But the Fentanyl injection is produced in India. 

Also according to POTUS that illegal aliens coming from Canada migrating illegally to the US? Is that true? Hmm... maybe from US to Canada.  

SETI can you help seek and search those "illegal aliens?" 

NOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE TARIFF COUNTER STRIKE?

1. BUY CANADIAN GOODS! Patronize local goods and services. Buy local commodities. 

2. BE FRUGAL and buy MADE IN CANADA. Counter Tariff tax against Imports from USA.

3. BOYCOTT AMERICAN COMPANIES IN CANADA. I hope you don't mind that Americans.

4. TRADE & COMMERCE with other countries in ASIA: Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India  (all South East Asian countries) expand/extend trade and commercialization with Australia, New Zealand & European countries. 

5. Build large container ships the size of  EVERGREEN shipping lines to transport Canadian products.

P.S.   I hope it wont go down to this point just because somebody is obsessed with CANADA as he wished that it's the 51st STATE of USA. 

HITLER had that kind of obsession. 

PUTIN wants to re-unite all the old U.S.S.R. countries including Ukraine. Why not? There are 4 million Ukrainians-Russians in Russia.

 

UPDATE Looks like slapping Canada with 25% would take place on Tuesday not February 1, 2025. 

Did you know if somebody has alzheimer's or dementia?
