dear USA, we are going to find new customers for our raw goods. We most likely will not go back. You are discounting how many raw goods come from Canada

My kids cannot get a simple job, cannot afford the housing and food, that's what happens to Canada with a mass of immigration without providing job houses, care, and schools
My kids cannot get a simple job, cannot afford the housing and food, that's what happens to Canada with a mass of immigration without providing job houses, care, and schools

Canada, tell me: What is the difference between an assistant drama teacher and a smart person? A drama teacher will fight a losing battle against an economic giant that doesn't need Canada as much as Canada needs him. For Americans, the high cost of Canadian goods will just make them turn to non-Canadian substitute products; for Canadians, we cannot help but buy US products despite the higher costs because we don't have a lot of alternatives. In the long run, Canada will cave in and become the 51st State. Why don't we skip the hardship part and just go straight to where we become part of an economic giant!
Extended argument about economic asymmetry between Canada and the US, predicting Canada's economic subordination based on trade dynamics.

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.
Proposes economic self-sufficiency through domestic agriculture and manufacturing, addressing unemployment and economic independence.

There is a fundamental error here: if universities are struggling due to lack of students, without government programs, then the university is not economically viable and should close. Otherwise, they are just a government department.

Who is paying for these hearing ? Who is paying for their medical care? How are they contributing to Canada ? If they are burdens to our system which us Canadians have paid into our entire lives they need to go right now asap! We need our money to go into our people.. into housing and healthcare for the people that have been born and raised here! Not strangers that just landed.
Questions immigrants' economic contribution and argues resources should prioritize citizens over newcomers, with us-vs-them framing.

on the other hand, US with tariffs will protect its own borders from imported cheap goods and create local produced companies and products. So, no thanks, i will take the tariffs for American prosperity.

They cant put chains on peoples hands they chain people up with debt and brake peoples backs with f k n taxes. They dont realize if you give more people spend more because they want to buy things for family and be happy thats how production is. Give and take. Comunist a s s holes.

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?
Focuses on economic consequences of trade war (oil markets, auto industry, lumber prices, housing costs, 401k impacts) and critiques Trump's economic competence and trade understanding.
