There is a fundamental error here: if universities are struggling due to lack of students, without government programs, then the university is not economically viable and should close. Otherwise, they are just a government department.

Canada just needs to fix the trade deficit with the United States. If Trudeau does, the U.S. tariffs would not happen. Canada has turned a deaf ear when the U.S. requested a fair trading partner and less deficits in the past decades. Trump was obligated to put a tariff on Canadian goods entering the U.S. since Canada did not resolve the problem.
Analysis of trade deficits and tariffs framed as justification for U.S. policy, focusing on economic imbalance between nations.
