  Frum is simply the best commentator on this crisis. He's clear, informed and funny.

  Thanks to all of you.  David Frum has emerged as someone whose thoughts I really find helpful for their clarity and resolute sense of what is right and what is going wrong.

  He&apos;s says he&apos;s going to &quot;break down trade barriers with foreign nations&quot;. As a Canadians, I must tell you, that is the exact opposite of what he&apos;s doing with these tariffs. He&apos;s actually building walls against trade with the US, and he&apos;s no only upping the price of good from Canada to the US, he&apos;s upping the price of US good to Canada, so much so that Canadian retailers are simply removing US good from our shelves because they are not selling. <br>He is liberating dollars from people&apos;s pockets, both within the US and without, and now he&apos;s making it even worse. Not a good President, or precedent!

  Apparently Trump’s own mother said that she hopes he never goes into politics because he’s an idiot, and would do a lot of damage. &nbsp;She knew her son. 👏🇨🇦😢

  Those plants closed because the C-Suite execs and BoDs wanted them to. It was not goverent policy; it was corporate profitability that drove the decision

  Mark Carney must be astounded by the obvious lack of Trump&apos;s economic literacy.
