Trump Says He’s Cutting Off Trade Negotiations With Canada - The New York Times President Trump said late Thursday that he was terminating all trade negotiations with Canada, throwing America’s relationship with one of its closest trading partners into turmoil once again. On Truth Social, the president claimed that “Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement” featuring former president Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. “TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.” Mr. Trump has taken an aggressive stance toward Canada, which is the second largest trading partner for the United States. He has imposed double-digit tariffs on many Canadian exports and repeatedly suggested Canada should be the 51st U.S. state. The United States, Canada and Mexico have been preparing for a review of their shared free trade agreement, which is scheduled to be completed by next summer. The ad that Mr. Trump mentioned in his post was taken out by the government of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province and a key nexus of economic cooperation with the United States. The ad, which according to the government of Ontario cost 75 million Canadian dollars ($53.5 million), uses audio from 1987 from President Ronald Reagan denouncing tariffs as destructive for the economy. The ad was to begin airing in the United States this week on Newsmax and Bloomberg, the Ontario government said, and then on several other U.S. channels over the course of the following two weeks. “When someone says, ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products,” Mr. Reagan’s voice narrates over a video of generic images of economic activity. But, the audio warns, tariffs cause damage. “Markets shrink and collapse, industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.”

I will participate only because I will be at the ranch by myself and completely blackout drunk 80% of that week. You're welcome America.

I think he IS going to worm his way around here. I said it when it came out that he was moving back. I hope CDC keeps an eye on him. Mack pretends to be an “Aw, shucks” Mr. Haney simple guy, but he’s petty and vindictive and loves himself far more than he cares about anyone else.

Won't somebody think of South Austin's mom?? -
The ABSOLUTELY WORST thing Biden never did was use that given authority to do what we all recognize should gave been done.
-
Im glad others see what a pos he was on his way out. I was worried he would worm his way around here after UNC. Nothing good is gonna come from him spending time around Sark.

I don’t know. Just saw the clip. I don’t listen to podcasts, and I especially wouldn’t listen to a Mack Brown podcast. It took mountains moving to get his fat ass out of Austin the first time.

The massing is horrible and sucks, but it is funny watching people lose their minds over this.

Sark as an OC is ass, my dude.

Jokic jacking up 3’s in overtime with AG going 10-11 for 3 is definitely an approach. Stupid loss Nuggets.

I’m sure Pete Carroll drafting 2 FCS QBs in the 6th round over Quinn was a huge blow to Sark’s ego.

Relax, guys, I already took care of it for you. The reality is, how many significant oil pipelines exist between Russia and China? "Doughnut, babe. Nothing. Zip. Zilch." - Hunt Stevenson (Michael Keaton) in Gung Ho The waterborne crude oil exports from Russia to China is all there is. TLDR However, there is one major gas pipeline between the Bear and the Dragon, the Power of Siberia 1 Pipeline. This $55 Billion project, commissioned in 2021, included the 56" diameter, 1,860 mile pipeline from Kovykta Gas field in the Irkutsk Oblast (aren't you glad you played Risk?) to the China Border. I did check; there is a 9,500 ft mountain range they went around. The Kovykta Gas Field is over 1,200 miles southeast of the Urengoy Gas Field in Siberia that supplies used to supply Eastern Europe, via a 2,800 mile pipeline. The good news is the natural gas produced here is the really good stuff, that contains helium and is rich in Natural Gas Liquids. A Gas Processing Plant requires a cryogenic plant operating at ~ -170 °F to separate the NGLs.. Helium processing is way out of my comfort zone... "Helium extraction plant uses cryogenic distillation to reach temperatures as low as -269°C (-452°F), just a few degrees above absolute zero. These extreme temperatures are necessary to separate helium from the other gases found in natural gas because helium has the lowest boiling point of any element. " The really bad news is the economies of scale you need to monetize the resource is mind boggling, and it is conveniently located literally in the middle of fucking nowhere, in an area with design conditions of -60 ℉, and a freeze depth of 13 ft. The Total "Power of Siberia Costs" included: Gas Production Facilities $ 6.16 Billion Gas Pipeline $15.07 Billion Power Plant (160 MW) $ 8.47? Billion Gas Plant $13.70 Billion Chemical Plant $11.60 Billion $55.00 Billion The overall projecticludes the entire vertical integration of natural gas processing; Natural gas Production to Pipelineto Gas Processing Plant to NGL fractionation Plant to Ethylene Plant (cracking ethane to make ethylene and cracking propane to make propylene) to Polyethylene/polyPropylene Plant (plastic pellets). Everything you need to get from raw natural gas to plastic pellets that become everything plastic that is "Made in China." For a processing guy, it doesn't get any better than this. It is truly amazing that Russian can build something like this, yet they invade Ukraine so they can take the toilets. Some Russian Gas Processing Porn; The first column of NGL/NRU unit Natural Gas Liquid/Nitrogen Rejection Unit) in the P1 section of Amur Gas Processing Plant was officially put into operation on May 1st, 2021. By far, the largest process vessel I have ever seen.

You don’t live in New York. I’m guessing you’re one of those gaping pussies terrified of any town larger than Midland. Nobody was arrested for assault.
