Would you rather have a successful business and the money you have in the bank, or a few failed business out of many successful ones and the money Trump has in the bank?

Speaking from a financial standpoint, that is?

Does Shitler! have more money than Bill Gates?

A better reputation than Warren Buffett?

Pay the tariff if you like the movie that much.

Of course a person of your intelligence level will never ever be in a position to make an unprofitable business suceed, especially a casino.

Atlantic City failed. That is a fact.

[Mac1958]

The aggressive, punitive and specifically ideological picking of winners and losers across multiple industries.

The very foundation of autocratic, neofascist rule.

The Creepy Ones in Canada have decimated our reputation. They have infiltrated U.S corporations and many of them provide security during movie sets through their "covert creepy one allies" in security companies.

Torontos Security Industrial Complex are NOT happy about this. Trump is trying to protect U.S culture and national security, ensure employment for places in California. If they can't operate there, they will operate in other states.

Donald Trump threatens 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies taking direct aim at Toronto’s multibillion-dollar film industry

In 2023, Canada's film and TV industry had $12.2 billion worth of production, and contributed roughly $14 billion to Canada's Gross Domestic Product with Toronto often standing in for U.S.

Hollywood North is bracing for impact.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff target is movies produced outside the U.S., spelling trouble for Canada’s multibillion dollar film and TV industry.

Late Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he intends to impose a 100 per cent tariff on movies produced outside the U.S.
“The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States,” Trump posted. “Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated.”

Trump also called foreign-produced films “propaganda” and “a national security threat.”
“I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!,” Trump added.
In 2023, Canada’s film and TV industry had $12.2 billion worth of production, and contributed roughly $14 billion to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product.
Dozens of films and TV shows are being produced in Toronto alone at any given time, with many of them destined to be shown in the U.S., with this city often standing in for American cities.

You can make movies a lot less expensively outside the U.S. from what I am told.

The Lord of the Rings was filmed entirely in New Zeland. If they had to make it here...it would never have been made.

Sorry...thems the facts.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Sorry...but no professional athlete is worth what they pay them (to me...so I don't support the products of the NFL).

And no actor is worth the stupid amount of money they pay them.

These are my opinions and I acknowledge them as such.

If Canada wants to understand Americans they should speak to someone who thinks like an American instead of persecuting him with ancient NKVD tactics, updated with todays technology.

The fact is, the treatment of so many citizens in this country is a microcosm of the reasons we are failing as a nation. From B.C to PEI, we lack leadership and we piss on the sacrifices of those who died in Europe and those who fought for our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

I agree. Aligning with enablers of genocide would have your WW2 servicemen who died in Europe rolling in their graves.

How is Canada consistently one of the best countries in the world to live in with all this so-called “failing leadership”?

You have no specifics of these failures, no evidence of these failures and no links to prove your lies. All you offer is unbelievable tales of spies and covert suppression of the masses.

Right wing fairy stories by a delusional maniac. Why do you even stay in Canada? If you hate it so much. Oh yeah they won’t let you leave.

How to tell us, you’re a lying idiot without using the words.
