DT personifies business and finance in entertaining language, but it is cryptic too.
Looks like Trump has run out of patience with china and is now openly going to war with them.
Actually, he only pretended to have patience with them, his goal all along was to destroy them which is a noble ambition and one I support 100%.
I saw this coming a long time ago, people seem to have great difficulty figuring him out but it’s really not that hard.
If it means he tanks the US economy in his re-election year, then I’m 100% on board too!
It seems you’ve been seduced by the media screaming “recession” as loud as they can.
I’m not surprised, you’re not very bright.
How cute, you believe the media somehow triggered an inverted yield curve.
Make sure you point that finger of blame elsewhere for anything bad that happens, won’t you?
Vacancy taxes prompt sale of luxury condos in Downtown Vancouver
https://vancouversun.com/business/real-estate/vacancy-taxes-prompt-sale-of-luxury-condos-in-downtown-vancouver
So who will buy them? Richer folk who aren’t bothered by the vacancy taxes?
Buyers?
SIDA’s relatives “I buy tree and my husband by tree”….mind you that only equals 6….not 8
I think this is exactly what we want to see from the vacancy taxes. Those we are not living in the condos choose to sell, either to someone who will rent it out, or who will live there.
Trump orders U.S. firms out of China after Beijing sets new tariffs
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-china/trump-orders-u-s-firms-out-of-china-after-beijing-sets-new-tariffs-idUSKCN1VD21E
great headline…. but this is what the lunatic said:
“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”
why did you post his exact quote? i don’t see what you are trying to say. the headline and quote seem equivalent to me.
What I’m trying to say is media loves to exaggerate… he didn’t order them out of china…
He must think he is Xi and running a dictatorship.
>What I’m trying to say is media loves to exaggerate
yes
>… he didn’t order them out of china…
according to the quote you posted he did.
>He must think he is Xi and running a dictatorship.
trump thinks he is a dictator? you just said that trump didn’t order them out.
did you get enough sleep last night?
Dude, you have issues…..
And this “order” is backed by what? The possibility that he might not have forgotten about the whole thing by next Wednesday?
>And this “order” is backed by what
watch and find out.
No need.
Wow, that didn’t take long at all.
today is a big day. remember this moment and how you felt.
Very telling that for the first time, Trump referred to Xi as an enemy.
This is escalating quickly.
He also called his own fed chairman an enemy. In Trumpworld, you either kiss the ring, or you’re an enemy. I think it’s called malignant narcissism.
Jay and Xi are both enemies.
Both china and the federal reserve should cease to exist.
I posted this link before….China has tariffs on their imports too….some of them are high…

Richmond crepe restaurant offered free meals to pro-China rally protesters

“As Chinese, we are very patriotic about our country,” Gao said.
I don’t understand this attitude; they live in Canada now which is a free country and yet they support a communist dictatorship.
Why not leave your problems at the door and make a clean break for yourself here in Canada? Why keep one foot over there?
yes, canadian naivety and inability to understand other’s motivations is a huge problem.
Leave your problems behind when you emigrate, or stay over there and fix it from within, not from over here.
that is your wish. they play by different rules.
” they live in Canada now which is a free country and yet they support a communist dictatorship.”
That why these worthless assholes should never be allowed into our country.
They’re the worst people that ever existed, from the worst country in history.
Canada a free country?
WTF ?
Bwhahaahhahaahhahahahahhaaaa !

china must be destroyed and xi disemboweled..
I want to go the next chinazi rally in Vancouver, any idea what kind of t-shirt I should wear?
“Death to china” or “Disembowel Xi” sound good to me, but there may be more imaginative ideas to show the sino-cunts how much I despise them and wish to see them all dead.

Trudeau has just rolled over on China. Pathetic and weak. The guy is worse than Neville Chamberlain.
It’s time for Trump to summon that embarrassing little puke to the White House, sit him down in a child size chair and give him a stern talking to.
That’s basically what happened. The Us called a meeting with Canada to discuss getting our prisoners back from these terrorists. Trudeau didn’t push the meeting, the US did. Weak and pathetic PM.
The reason City of Victoria bridge replacement was delayed was poor quality steel from China.
Bay bridge between Oakland and San Fran is another multi billion dollar disaster…poor quality steel and workmanship from CHINA
Flippers in Metro Vancouver flopped through summer 2019, with many selling for double digit percentage losses.
All detached property flips over the last 90 days in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby ended up with the seller getting less than what they originally paid for the property.

Racist rant caught on video in Richmond

they can’t drive or behave properly in Canada and then they get offended when they are called out for it ….
To be fair, the Caucasian lady was the one that parked over the line and hit the Asian ladies car.
Good point.
What’s the white bitch going on about, she obviously doesn’t know how to park a car or take responsibility for her shitty parking.
China would benefit most from billion-dollar, 700-km highway through Canadian Arctic, critics say
‘It is worth flagging to people that the main beneficiary will be the Chinese government, more so than the government of Nunavut or the government of Canada’
Three Federal election candidates at the local fair today. Two guys I know when in to have a look. The Senior friend was ambivalent, more worried about pensions. The younger guy wanted to chat with the Conservative, but after 20 minutes wanted to see the Green candidate, but the Senior elected to return home. I would of joined them but I was working on a project and didn’t see them slip out.
‘Candidates for nomination describe the nomination process as harrowing and full of interference from party brass, according to exit interviews conducted by Samara over the past 12 years.
‘“I think the process is fundamentally flawed and I’m concerned it is systemic through all the parties,” said Lars Guignard, a recent candidate for Green Party nomination in West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country’
The democratic system was co-opted from Day One..
The early advocates wanted independent individuals as their elected representatives..and were against grouped party affiliations.
What has evolved is a top down system whereby individual autonomy is verboten….
In Canada, ex PM Lester Pearson had a system whereby Canada was divided into 6 regions in an attempt to create balance.
When Pierre Turdeau became PM…he was on a mission to divide Canada via his numerous policies..starting with bilingualism as initial wedge…..then multiculturalism. Justin Turdeau???? is simply Pierre 2.0
Current MP’s etc and potential candidates only have to recall Pierre Turdeau’s condescending comments r about MP”s aka …..they are nobodies 100 ft from Parliament.
“” Justin Trudeau???? is simply Pierre 2.0 “”
Sadly, while Pierre may have at least deployed method to his madness, our drama teacher’s madness stems entirely from that vacuum between his ears.
Pierre 2.0 minus the brains and wit, which leaves only the condescending arrogance and treason.
And yes, our democracy would be much healthier if all MP’s sat as independents and we did away with these ridiculous teams.
Just when things seemed to be settling down a little bit, our conflict with China has suddenly escalated to a dangerous new phase. This is not simply just a “trade war” any longer, and our relationship with China will never be the same again. As you will see below, President Trump just referred to Chinese President Xi Jinping as our “enemy”, and this is something that the Chinese are going to take extremely seriously. In China, the national leader is a representation of the government as a whole, and the government as a whole is a representation of the entire county. So to the Chinese people, what Trump just said will be interpreted as “the United States and China are now enemies”.
Destroy those fuckers once and for all.
RIP PRC: 1949-2020, 71 years just like the USSR.
How will you reconcile your love of Trump and your loathing of China after he signs a trade deal with them?
That’s easy, he’ll make out that it’s some sort of victory and that genius Trump outsmarted them – no matter the outcome.
That will be the case no matter the outcome. Do you think if a deal is made it could possibly be worse for the US than what they have now?
What Obama did was a failure. Letting China get away unfair trade practices and saying and doing nothing. Pretty much sums up the Obama presidency.
I will also add even with no deal Trump has already won by making manufacturing less attractive in China and more attractive in the US. That was the goal for those of you who have not figured it out.
Triggering retaliatory tariffs against American-produced goods seems counter-productive.
Causing factory closures and mass job losses in china seems very productive.
That could lead to unrest which could lead to the fall of the communists.
But of course it’s not just China. The tariff tit-for-tat seems to involve much of the world, including most of the traditional US allies.
Lol… Google exiting China.
Yup — shifting it’s production to Vietnam. Not exactly bringing manufacturing back to America, is it?
No in this case, but the point is to bring some manufacturing back to the US, sending some to other Asian countries, bringing a shit ton to Mexico which makes very good sense, and above all taking it ALL away from china so that rotten shithole curls up and dies.
The US accounts for something less than one fifth of Chinese exports. So even if it all went poof, China would still be a formidable economic force.
These tariff wars will benefit companies that manufacture stuff in America to sell to Americans. It will disadvantage those with foreign supply chains or customers. I think there’s a lot more of the latter than there are of the former, which could lead to some serious pushback from business lobbies
He won’t sign a deal with them, because they’re the worst fucking liars, cheaters and thieves in world history.
He has other plans for them, much better plans.
You might have noticed that Steve Bannon didn’t last all that long in the Trump administration.
Not only will Trump sign a deal before the 2020 election, he’ll follow up by inviting Xi to Mar-a-Lago and telling everyone what a great guy he is.
Doesn’t matter too much if Bannon is in or out of the cabinet, he actually has more influence out of the administration because the lying mainstream media doesn’t get to focus on him as much which deprives them of their oxygen.
Why don’t you like Bannon?
“Why don’t you like Bannon?”
Far too rich to be trusted, just like Trump.
that was supposed to be thumbs up emoji
Introspection is always an interesting thing. People get the government they deserve. People who treat politicians like kings and queens get politicians and political parties that behave as such. Such people follow their kings and queens with almost a religious fervour. Nothing that the leader does is ever wrong. In fact everything that the leader does is amazing. Someone here needs to introspect.
Rent prices:
Having seriously looked at rent prices, I see those areas that have more Chinese and Indian foreign students have higher rents. That’s where they spiked.
In other areas (white areas), there seems to be no spike.
This is where our disagreements arise. Surrey rents are up by about $600/month in the last 3 -4 years for basement suites while they are stable for places like North Van and New West.
Basically, massive foreign student inflows caused rent spikes and the resulting FOMO.
Please stop perpetuating racism. It’s kind of unbecoming for someone with such a high intellect.
Who’s this clown? Hahaha
A genius, renaissance thinker and spiritualist? The yield curve is inverted after all.
With apologies to Trudeau, but do we really need more workers on Canada?
And for those who want China and USA to live in harmony.
That can’t happen. There can only be one.
Sources:
1) In the history of our entire world civilization, 2 great powers haven’t coexisted in harmony.
2) Pentagon generals have openly said there can only be one in veiled ways.

Same level of adulation as you had for Christie. Make sure you kneel every time you see his image. Introspection is always an interesting thing. People get the government they deserve. People who treat politicians like kings and queens get politicians and political parties that behave as such. Such people follow their kings and queens with almost a religious fervour. Nothing that the leader does is ever wrong. In fact everything that the leader does is amazing. Someone here needs to introspect.
How many times are you going to cut and paste the same drivel? Even the retarded parrot has a few days between regurgitating the same boring statements.
Says the idiot who copy-pasted from a certain somebody’s retweets as if he has no mind of his own.
These were direct links from the Next Revolution Twitter feed, not Trumps. Of course you have no counter argument just your usual insults.
Good to know you follow what Trump does so closely. It seems all you lefties are obsessed with him.
They’re especially obsessed with his “historically low” poll numbers, but never ever mention Turd’s even lower poll numbers.
