Canada has imposed a 10% tariff on us for years, while America has only charged 2%. This behavior does not reflect a good neighborly relationship; rather, it appears to be another instance of taking advantage of American taxpayers. A significant portion, approximately 70%, of Canada's GDP is derived from products purchased by Americans; one might question the effectiveness of extortion in this context. It is time you reconsider, little Emperor.
Presents tariff statistics and economic dependency arguments comparing Canada-US trade relationships.

This is the system: Student immigrates to Canada on a student Visa, gets a Diploma which they use to get a Post-Graduation Work Permit, this is used to get Permanent Residence (PR). After 3 years apply for Citizenship, which makes it easier to bring their parents into Canada. Those parents apply for PR, then wait 3 years, after which they can also apply for Citizenship. If they are 55+ years old, they don't need to take the test or prove they can speak the English. They just apply and get become Citizens. All of this while enjoying the benefits of a Socialized Healthcare, Old Age Pension after 65+, Canada Child Benefit paid to parents with kids under 18, and more. This is not a sustainable economic model, we WILL run out of money. Technically we already have 😂
Detailed critique of immigration pathways focused on economic sustainability and fiscal burden claims.

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.

If anyone is wondering about the reason of Trump's tariffs: Tariff is source of revenue for the government which is not based on salary. The rich and the poor of the USA will pay the same amount of it for a specific product. This revenue will then serve the US government to decrease the income tax, which is based on percent of revenue (i.e higher income people pay much more taxes). The tax cuts means those with higher revenue will get to keep more of it. So at the end of the day more of the governments revenue will come from those with lower revenue. Thus unfortunately widening the gap between the rich and the poor.
Provides detailed economic analysis of tariff policy and its redistributive effects on income inequality.

Taking an economics class right now. It's true that the single and only result of tariffs is government revenue at the cost of citizens of both involved countries. Both countries, not one.

You need to put a 25% export tax on your energy, minerals, and oil. It will increase the price of everything in the US immediately.

Who are actually benefiting from this? US consumers are gonna pay more for goods, the exporters seem worried about it. Only Trump seems excited about it and the rich people probably don't care.
