Well, if 25% tariffs existed, I don’t think Canada can do anything about it. President Trump won’t stop until it’s solved. That’s for sure!

his comments about working positively with Russia and appeasing putin are opinions not facts. The fact is WE ARE BROKE. We you me cant afford to be spending money on Ukraine as much as it pains me to say. We are going to go bankrupt and then we wont be able to help ourselves. We cannot continue to spend BORROWED MONEY. Are you willing to have the value of your hard earned dollar to fight a never ending battle. The truth is not a pretty one. Everytime we borrow money the quality of your life and your families diminishes. Not Ok with that. its a fucking struggle out here. and i know it is for you too. Mr Trudeau I think i just made it make sense. We cant afford it. War must end at all costs. or we are fucked.

will the costs of the goods go down or will they go up?\n\nit seems to me that there will be a winner and that will be the person who is already winning, not the average person. the wealthy have picked a pretty face to whisper sweet nothings to the public while they do everything they can to gorge themselves on us; their cattle.\n\nwe live in little boxes with water treated with chlorine and ammonia and only a short amount of time in the sun. hardly enough sun to grow your own vegetables or enough room to graze your own cattle.\n\nchlorine and ammonia inhibit the growth of plants
Focuses on economic inequality and cost-of-living concerns, with critique of wealth disparity and living conditions.
