At least they’re creating jobs, opening up store fronts. There is something we can learn from everyone. Rather have another human being like me create opportunities than the government controlling everything

As an American, did that weasel Trudeau just threaten us?! Um, he better backstep while he still has time. Canada has NO product that we Americans cannot replace with an American made one in a matter of months. Fertilizer is an easy one, Our farmers just need to go back to using natural animal/yuman waste which is ecactly what used to be done. It even saves farmers billions $ because they create a use for waste they now pay to have to process for removal. Lumber and products are also an easy fix. We Americans have millions of acres of timber that actually NEEDS regular harvest to reduce the forest fires that plague us yearly. The list goes on, and not a single item cannot be MADE IN AMERICA that we currently get from Canada.
Commenter argues that American economic self-sufficiency makes Canadian trade unnecessary, emphasizing economic capacity and cost savings while comparing US and Canadian production capabilities.

Bring back 500$ Apartments and 500$ Beater cars and I'll make lots of babies for Canada. Can't pick up a girl in a tent and an expired bus pass.
