Canada has all the necessary conditions to establish real manufacturing industries and increase production. With the presence of migrant labor such as workers from India—who are willing to accept lower wages than Canadian workers and others—the equation becomes clear: lower costs, higher output, and greater profitability. This workforce represents a real investment for those who know how to manage human resources and the economy intelligently.
Analysis of immigrant labor's economic impact on manufacturing, wages, costs, and profitability.

Many International Students now are actually people in their 30s and 40s, with multiple kids and a spouse. So when they come here to "Study" They are eligible for Child Tax benefits and GST rebates and everything else that only a Citizen should receive. These foreign people are essentially financing their edication with the tax payers money. On top of that, they are adding more load to the healthcare , and public school system, without paying a single dollar in income tax or property tax.
Argues that international students impose economic costs through tax benefits and public service usage while contributing no income/property taxes.

America doesn't need there trade, both Canada & Mexico was only worth about 2.3% of their entire GDP. It's a bad thing for Canada but it's not going to effect America, you'll probably see a temporary blip but it'll be back booming even better in no time.

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.
Analyzes tariffs through economic logic, predicting businesses will raise prices and cut jobs to maintain profits, characterizing it as a trade war.

Canada cursed with short sighted political leaders (ON ALL PARTIES) failed to do the basics to even attempt to diversify the economy. No new ports, refineries, pipelines Al infrastructure..ect Those aforementioned issues are compounded by either too much immigration without support or too few immigrants to grow into an economic opening up. There was a plan years ago that CANADA should have between 70-100 million by this centuries end ..but that ONLY works OR be remotely possible if we started with laying out the economic and societal systems 20 years ago.... We've painted ourselves into not only a corner ..but onto the edge of a cliff
Analyzes immigration policy through economic lens, critiquing lack of infrastructure investment and demographic planning rather than opposing immigration itself.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.
Focuses on trade deficits, tariff asymmetries, and economic disadvantage to Canada in US relations, with specific examples of pricing disparities.

Call any big Canadian company, Bell, you get someone from the Philippines. Scotia bank, you get someone in Mexico and so on. They make billions and yet decide to hire outside of Canada. But when they hire someone from Canada, you stay on "temporary" status for years. After 2 or 3 years they move you to "temp full time" status and so on..... Most Canadians know this!
Focuses on corporate hiring practices, employment status hierarchies, and economic decisions by major companies regarding domestic versus foreign workers.
