Anti immigrant sentiment are base on Xenophobia & insecurity.. Pro immigrant policy are base on stats & economics.. Canadian low birthrate of 1.25 children (350k) need to be at 3 children (850k), so Trudeau policy of 500k immigrant per yr is on point. The gov just failed to plan better, like build enough houses..
Defends immigration policy using demographic and economic statistics, arguing low birth rates justify high immigration while critiquing housing planning failures.

The U.S. has a massive economic advantage over Canada in any trade war—no debate. The U.S. economy is 10x bigger, and Canada relies on American trade way more than the other way around. The idea that they have 'leverage' is just political posturing. They can slap tariffs on select U.S. industries to try and cause some pain, but in the long run, they *will* lose. Their leaders just don’t want to look weak, so they act like they’re standing firm when in reality, they’ve already been pushed off the cliff. The U.S. can outlast them easily.
Detailed analysis of trade dynamics, economic disparity, and tariff leverage between U.S. and Canada based on economic metrics.

Let’s see. I think the biggest contributor of the inflation is from the government spending and the gap on the trade deficit. Long term it will help US GDP

The threat to “not buy USA made” is hilarious. 70% of our GDP is consumer spending. We don’t make things, we BUY things. Losing a customer like the US is very bad for business.

Tarifs are taxes. If the US and Canada both increase taxes, the only loosers will be the American and the Canadian people. The States of both countries will be fine. They'll be even richer.
