We love Canada. Tariffs fail. Especially tariffs on friends. We are $36 TRILLION in debt. We need to block trade, but not with friends.

Okay so here's the thing I live in Canada and Canadians DO NOT want to work they are getting lazier. Indians and immigrants are keeping our economy functioning. Without them there would be no staff for Walmart and all the min wage jobs. They do need to stop letting them in now tho and use those resources to help the housing crisis.. which is more of a people not wanting to get sober or work hard enough to pay rent crisis. 😂
Combines lived experience with economic arguments about labor market dependency and housing policy critique.

BS... She wants CHEAP labor that is why she went to Tunisia. Pay local workers more or shut your bad business down.... The workers should not SUBSIDIZE unprofitable business with their low wages.

The tax cut is peanuts and it’s more than offset by increases in other taxes so we will actually pay more. Never trust a Liberal.

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.

Sucks to be the guy on the bike. Imagine being born and bred here, speak the language fluently, have the perfect opportunity to excel your life yet you ride a bike in cold weather, can’t afford a car, a “poor white trash” as he described it and all you see is immigrant who came to your city owning cars ,houses, businesses while all you do is complain 😂😂 yikes
Focuses on economic disparities between native-born citizens (unable to afford cars/housing) and immigrants (owning businesses/property), with class-based identity framing.

So what it's costing taxpayers...what do you think gov't support of border hopping migrants, immigrants, and south asian business owners abusing the temp foreign worker program and milking it is doing...it's costing taxpayers a lot more than these deportations.

Maybe nobody told that commie fluff ball that he exports 77% of his measly 2.7 trillion GDP to the U.S. Go ahead and put that all on boats to the EU. Let’s see how that works out for you!

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.
Extended discussion of inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and economic policy impacts with historical examples.
