Indians can't help it if you
€₹@€ke₹$ are too lazy to work and keep their country functional. The reason business owners prefer hiring Indians we are simply better at doing the job, and don't act entitled. You want Canadians to keep jobs in Canada, simply work harder stop crying like a little bitch about everything and be a good employee. Or get of your arse and start a business. You are not unemployed because you are being discriminated against, you are simply being outcompeted by people willing to work harder. The harsh truth of life.
Argues that Indian workers are hired due to superior work ethic and competitiveness, framing employment outcomes through economic merit rather than discrimination.

It's going to be a lot easier for other countries to boycott American good than for us to avoid buying tariffed imports because nothing is made here. We are SO fucked.

If significant numbers of people have not/do not pay taxes in Canada to support our health and welfare system then their use of those same systems weaken them for those who do. The weaken systems will start to fail and we’ll all be worse off unless, of course, we raise taxes or borrow more. How liberal is that!

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.
Comment analyzes Trump's tariff policy through economic consequences (job losses in car manufacturing, supply chain impacts).
