Tarriff increment doesn't affect the targeted country, it usually ends up affecting the citizens of the country that imposes the tariff. Americans will experience more inflation as a result of this crazy tarriff increment.

It's a lie a company can't find Canadian workers. Companies get half the wages for a newcomer employee reimbursed by the federal government. Paid to hire foreigners instead of Canadian born.

Many people do not understand how tariffs impact the importation of goods and services. Canada lacks the infrastructure to produce the minerals required for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. Additionally, Canada does not possess the same international influence as the United States, particularly in military matters. As a result, Canadians may face more significant challenges, as their economy relies more on U.S. trade than the United States' reliance on Canada. Overall, Canada has a less developed economy and limited global influence.
Detailed analysis of tariffs, trade dependencies, infrastructure, and economic disparities between Canada and the United States.

If these companies can’t find workers, then why is our unemployment rate so high in 16 years?! It’s because they want cheap labour than to pay proper wages to a Canadian. If they up the pay, many unemployed would come forsure but not when paying peanuts
Argues that high unemployment contradicts labor shortage claims, attributing the issue to corporate wage suppression rather than labor availability—core economic reasoning.

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?
Detailed analysis of tariff economics, production costs, and predicted recession impacts on American consumers and industries.

41, 000 is crazy insane should be like 100 only per year. This oversupply of people is what contributes to more people fighting for few resources (jobs, medical care, apartments, etc)

Immigration became a business model: • Corporations get cheap labor • Universities collect $37+ billion/year • Government inflates GDP & tax revenue Citizens get food banks, rent crisis, and stagnant wages.

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.
