The only statement that is a true depiction of reality in that left leaning rant of a commentary is that both stock markets are up and hitting new highs. The Canadian markets are up because the american markets are up. Gold is up because governments are buying much of the production and we know governments don't care about taxpayers money so they don't care how high the price goes. Markets react mainly to earnings, or future earnings. Sales and earnings depend on the American consumer. If the american consumer stops spending (highly unlikely given present circumstances) both markets will tank to reflect that lack of spending. Gold companies react the same way, to visions of dollar profits dancing in their heads. Trump is doing things we all want. Stopping illegal immigration, particularly of criminal immigrants. Clamping down on criminal activity in the US and cross border criminal activity. Make America healthy again. Proper testing of drugs and foods and find out what is making America sick. Improve all health care. Changing DEI to Merit. You get a job based on your qualifications and experience only. Making education great again. Education must prepare Americans for the future, not for violent revolution and division which is what it is doing now. Making sure that America maintains its cheap energy dominance and stopping the idiot anti-Carbon bullshit. Demanding all companies selling to Americans, manufacture in America and employ American workers. Telling all countries that if they want to sell things to Americans they must buy an equal amount of goods from Americans (thats called fair trade) and if countries want to put tariff and non-tariff barriers in place, America will reciprocate (Canada has been a big user of barriers to free and fair trade against the US). Trying to stomp out wars and terrorism in the world and making all countries focus on fair and free trade instead. Peace through strength. Stopping terrorists from taking over American institutions, both education and governmental Stupid fake news commentaries from idiot reporters don't help Canada negotiate with Americans.
