    "That’s the kind of disruption we would never expect,” said Hung.

    Who could have seen that coming ?

    “I never heard of this happening until now. It’s definitely quite a bit of headwinds.”

    Maybe pull your head all the way out of your ass.

      This CEO apparently thought the US treating Canada like they are under sanctions, while threatening to invade them, is how you normally treat your biggest trade partner and close ally.

      In this upside-down you have Trump repeatedly threatening to invade Canada and Greenland while only being “upset” with Putin. He has got the whole US in travel advisories of close to a dozen countries at this point (not just the wacky Red States), and we are only 3 months in.

        Maybe it’s more they’re so used to Americans putting up with getting screwed that it’s surprising that we aren’t.

          True, last time they gave corporations bailouts (to “increase job growth and the economy”) they used for CEO bonuses and stock buy backs. However this time around Trump only seems interested in pardoning felony level corruption & assault (J6), while being all over the place with tariffs and Ukraine.

      Every time I see American news about Canada, they always seem completely clueless about how infuriated the Canadians have been with the US ever since Trump backstabbed them and threatened to invade them for no other reason that Trump feels entitled to their country.

      This isn’t just one of the usual quarrels. It is bordering war. Canadians are kept awake wondering if they’ll have to wage guerrilla warfare against an invader in their future.

        I have never once in my life thought about owning a gun. I hated the idea of ever having one in my home. Now I’m kind of wondering if I should get one in the event the US does invade…
