More inflation isn't going to affect most of us. We've already had so much that we can't afford anything anyway. If a house already costs a million dollars who cares if it goes up to 100 million. Is truly not worth working during this period of time until work pays a living again. I'm at the point I'd rather go live off the land on a commune
Discusses inflation, housing costs, and wage stagnation as barriers to livelihood, grounded in personal economic experience.

Canada has not been straight with the US. I am IBEW. I have work side-by-side with countless Canadians who are in the IBW. I have never worked side-by-side with the US IBEW worker who has ever worked in Canada. Also Canada has been subsidizing their lumber mills for years, not charging them for The timber so they have an unfair advantage. Let’s let Canada pay their fair share to protect themselves instead of depend on the US to protect them.
Combines personal work experience with economic grievances about subsidies and unfair trade advantages, arguing Canada should pay more for defense.

Canada will lose business permanently. The longer this goes the more they lose. Hurts them twenty times more than it hurts the US. We won't even notice.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.
Proposes Chinese investment as economic solution to create jobs, lower costs, and strengthen Canadian independence and prosperity.

Yall are sheep. \nEvery country needs imports. But America relies on so many other countries to keep itself going is more than unhealthy. If China and the US went to war, yes, China would suffer. But look around your house, I bet most of it says - Made In China. That can NOT happen to the extent it is. \n\nFun Fact- when Russia, Ukraine war started, Russia couldn’t get Coke ( Soda ) now Russia has many knock offs that they say taste just like ours. Point is, Russia started making their own. Yes, the US will always need imports. But did you know over a dozen + countries already have & had tariffs on the US for a LONG time, some are even our “ Allies “. Do you know why they do it? To protect their economy. To protect domestic goods. The short term is always the hardest. But it’s been proven that the long run, tariffs actually help a country’s economy. Also, the US gets shafted when it comes down to a lot of trade deals. Yeah, okay, imports are great… ( If you are getting a good deal )
Extended argument about tariffs, trade dependencies, and economic protectionism using comparative examples from Russia, China, and the US.

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.
Uses Denmark's perspective to argue against trade war based on economic interdependence and energy imports from Canada.
