US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10981769/tru ... ite-house/

Speaking at the first press briefing of the new administration, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed the issue with Trump and does not believe the president has wavered from the Feb. 1 start date for those tariffs.

“As far as I’m still tracking, and that was last night talking to the president directly, Feb. 1 is still on the books,” she said.
Stock up on building supplies Chef - they are about to get more expensive. It must be hell for any contractor that has a fixed price contract. Hopefully a guy like Leves has a clause in his CCDC 5B contract to allow for increases due to "random" tariffs from Canada's biggest trade partner. It's been a while since I incorporated a CCDC 5B into a project, so I can't remember what provisions might be included, or if a separate supplementary condition would have to be added to it, for this type of material price increase.

Yeah Force Majeure ain't gonna cut it on this one.

Already handled on our end with all suppliers.

Be tougher for a guy like Dude though, I hope for the best for him.

Force Majeure wouldn't apply in this case. I think you would have to include a clause that specifically covered an event such as sudden imposition of tariffs. But then again, dealing with these kind of situations is why you are making the big bucks ;)

There is a new CGC drywall plant going in just a few miles from where I had my acreage in Wheatland county. It should provide a lot better material supply accessibility for guys like you.

If only the Canadian Trumpees considered the idea that maybe another term with Lord Orange might actually be bad for Canada? But noooooooooooo, two genders, man. All that matters!

With all the love and respect I can muster due to our long term online cohabitation.

Fuck off Dude.

Find another tangent...you've made your point.

If this is about battling with Doc do it via PM or (Corn) let's start a Dude/Doc thread.

Enough is enough.

Sorry, I meant that I agreed with you. I should have worded it "I agree, Force Majeure wouldn't apply in this case". Better? ;)

Trumpey Poo is about to hit Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs on Saturday because, he says, of fentanyl.

How much fentanyl was seized at the US-Canada border last year? Just 43 pounds.

Denmark has responded to Trump’s demand to annex Greenland. They will now charge Americans a 500% tariff for Ozempic, a popular diabetes and weight loss drug. They will also offer Canadians a 50% discount.

The World collectively is saying Fuck Trump.

What a complete and utter moron.
Tonight, Trump held a televised signing of a new executive order blaming former presidents Barack Obama, who left office in 2017, and Joe Biden for the crash. It says that “problematic and likely illegal decisions” during their administrations “minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).” They implemented “dangerous ‘diversity equity and inclusion’ tactics,” it said, and recruited “individuals with ‘severe intellectual’ disabilities in the FAA.” The executive order says that his return to “merit-based recruitment, hiring, and promotion” will “ensure that all Americans fly with peace of mind.”

Yeah that's because a million pounds got through.

And Trumpy Poo and I are not going to stand for it!

How do they know how much fentanyl got through if they missed it?

And aren't the customs checks done by US Border Agents? Trump should fire their asses for letting a million pounds through!
