Consequences of shafting our closest economic partner, Canadian oil is headed to China, Japan, S Korea:



Canada is the 4th largest oil producer in the world, with a current output of 5M barrels per day, vs. 1.5mbpd for Venezuela.

Once we get adult leadership in the White House, I suspect having an oil pipeline into British Columbia will lower prices and improve oil supplies into the Pacific Northwest and perhaps California. Works for me.

Did you read what Cal88 just posted? How would this benefit the US if it's not going to the US?



I'm looking past the next year or two. Most likely, 5-10 years from now, we'll mend our fences with Canada. Tariffs will be consigned to the trash heap of history and suddenly a trading partner just across the border from Vancouver will look more desirable than transporting oil by ship to other parts of the world.

Canada won't be able to make it 5-10 years without the pipelines running through the US.

and we would have accomplished exactly what? Bringing our fierce enemy to its knees? What you are suggesting is actually the more pipe dreamy.

I'm not suggesting anything. It's a fact that the pipelines Canada uses run through the US.

and that we would bring them to there knees in 10-15 years by shutting down access. Forgot that bit

Their* but those are your words not mine. It won't even get to that point.

I said 5-10 but thats semantics. I also said it wouldn't get to that because Canada would have to be incredibly stupid to let it.

Hey, let's cut off the flow of heavy sour crude oil from Canada to our Refineries in Texas that are specially equipped to process it and watch them all die.

Pure genius.
It's a CULT.

I know right? Bring up the spectre of shutting down access to our allies and having them piddle along for 10-15 years …but then claim it won't ever happen. Ok.
This is what happens when blind allegiance to Trump has you twisting in knots into make his policies make any sense including crushing allies into submission.

Only 29,000 jobs created in September and July / August were revised downward by $60,000 jobs, meaning we have fewer jobs now than we thought we had a month ago.

Trump continues his run as the worst jobs President since Herbert Hoover - and it's not close

Wouldn't illegals being booted out decrease unemployment.

We've only averaged 68,000 jobs per month thru September.
This is better than last year, but still below pre-pandemic job growth.

Meanwhile, July got revised from +21,000 to -10,000
And August got revised down from 162,000 to 133,000

September had been expected to show 90,000 NFP jobs

Without the Ai buildout, this economy would really be in the crapper.



It's a CULT.

2026 Q3 GDP Forecast surges to +5.1% per Atlanta Fed




Now it's down to 3.7% in just two short weeks.

And after today's jobs number, it will be heading lower for the next update on Oct. 6th.
See how this works?

You clearly don't understand what the Atlanta GDPNow estimate reflects.
It is a snapshot in time as economic data comes out.

The "trend" is what is important.

You're welcome for the correct explanation of what GDPNow represents.
Thanks to Daddy Wags.

This is a great thread!

Note: My first Economy Thread had 342,902 views and 2,847 replies.

More "great" news for American's looking to buy a home.

A 30 year fixed mortgage is now up to 7.28%

It's up nearly a FULL percentage point this year.
Great for the housing market.

Thank You Donald Trump!

We have people who here don't know what the GDPNow estimate is and who don't understand the relevance of weak wage growth in the report for their excuses about the weak job growth so instead they immediately resort to personal attacks.

True.

My first thread on the ECONOMY had 343,902 views and 2,8947 replies in one year before it got "locked" because of a few trolls.

My second thread on the ECONOMY currently has 70,334 views and 901 replies.

Notice that the Trolls never start their own threads on anything, much less than about the ECONOMY.

To Dajo's point, they are economically illiterate "so instead they immediately resort to personal attacks"

This forum is dying as a result.
Trolls that repeatedly talk about the "posters" in the thread instead of the actual TOPIC.
It's a CULT.
