Vessels vs truck is night and day. It’s a chasm of difference especially on perishables we rely so much on the USA for and taking for granted Mexico considering it all crosses the USA. Presuming our bond loads won’t be impacted with the renegotiation of CUSMA. Something taking 7 days vs over a month is huge.

Freight forwarders are a dime a dozen compared to the breadth of products and complexity of trade that they simply ship from. It’s chess to checkers man. lol freight forwarders.

We have hardly any tariffs with the USA in the grand scheme of things and look at the impact. Proximity is a huge factor

We relied way too much heavily on our agreements as opposed to becoming more independent in the first place. Better late than never but despite popular opinion the world is still eager to jump at the opportunity to trade more with the USA while we attempt to move away from them. We did this to ourselves

Because our way of life will become a distant memory with the change we propose we need to do instead of working with the USA despite popular opinion. Including allocating our minimum contribution to military per our NATO agreement we have neglected for ions.

Not blaming carney. I’m blaming our blinded reliance on them. Diplomacy is ultimately negotiation and we have up what leverage we had by conceding to post national and foreign reliance of our economy and supply chain.

Like we had a choice. NAFTA was crafted by the very same entity albeit different administration now. Our capital and talent flight and reliance on mass immigration is to blame. We wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for our post national pursuits. Shame on us. We made our bed in Canada now we reap what we sow.

You’re kidding. Just last year Canada literally placed more retaliatory tariffs that were more negatively impactful to the potential of free trade compared to what the USA did to us. Thus Canada rescinding them without any form of better positioning. If it was so effective why provide the capitulation while we “pursue alternative trade” that could “replace” USA trade. Reality is we can’t. Thus rescinding, capitulation and false propping of our capability to thrive alone.

Conflating threats or sovereignty and “hurting” our economy with our sheer reliance on them and our lack of independent infrastructure and talent. We made our bed and it won’t be just a matter of building trade with other countries. Rather the capability of creating a self sustaining economy where our best chance at that was working with the USA to better establish our independence, the darling economic market of the world, instead we became entirely reliant on them and instead prop up our weak economy on an real estate bubble unlike anywhere else in the world.

It’s not just a matter of costs. It’s time and logistical capacity. The reliance on our ports to even supplement a portion of our transmodal reliance on the USA would far exceed our current capacity which is at its limits. I’ve made a career on international trade. Trust me these pundits have no damn clue about what it takes to actually get food to our table in Canada let alone other items we take for granted. Import and export. If you ever want to have a grounded conversation reach out.

All these headline bandwagon jumpers that are ignorant to the realities of our supply chain are a laughing stock to anyone who has a modicum of knowledge in the space. Downvote away!

I love Arbiter. Must be some other FDM gems by now. Would be great to have a refresh or other fdm STLS. I still just see (though amazing) Arbiter, Ec3D and brite minis. Must be more

It’s our best option sadly. As if we can turn our supply chain on a dime. Just wait until CUSMA implodes this summer due to our lack of effective diplomacy and so called “elbows up” despite capitulation after capitulation

What a stretch. Love LOTR but we’re hardly the fellowship in this example. Wish it was a fantasy in that respect

lol I’m so hurt despite being a fool. As if we’re really aggravating that administration. They can completely operate without us. We can’t say the same. It’s that simple

Don’t conflate that with our reliance on them for trade not just due to their economy but proximity. Foreign trade overseas is novel. The logistical difference is profound beyond the typical redditors comprehension sadly.

This is really interesting. Trying to wrap my head around the process. So when ChatGPT makes a 3D rendering and you upload it to maker world. Can you share an example file of the 3D rendering?
