I am sorry for immigrants but we can no longer fund these programs and born Quebec citizens can no longer afford to lose their jobs to immigrants and affordable housing. Wishing them all the best.

Don't worry Tariffs are paid for by Canada I really do not know if he is so stupid he believes that or he knows and does not care either way it is so dumb and hurtful to think otherwise. The last time tariffs like this were in place was the late 1800's and early 1900's. If anyone know this time it was the time of the oligarchs like Rockefellers Carnegies that road the backs of the everyday Americans making them the richest people in the world. Notice a theme here, I do!!
Critiques tariff policy with economic reasoning, drawing historical parallels to oligarchic periods and discussing economic harm.

37T in US debt. We’ve been unfairly treated the past 60 years from unfair trades from the world and Trump was the only President to say “enough”.

I think there are many in this Country that are presently quite deluded.

Lena was so obvious from day one that her wheels are spinning, but the mouse is MAiD. Almost the entire liberal party is a large fry short of a Happy Meal, so you just try and ignore these things.
