China also tariffs Canada. Did you know Canada has a global tariff on canned veggies?

Over 1000 of my coworkers laid off and my company needing a 400m bailout loan to survive is a easy example for me. All thanks to a 50% steel tariff for ‘security reasons’ (which is funny considering a large portion of the armour plate in their fighting vehicles was made by my company).
Some people sticking their heads in the sand and pretending that nothing bad is happening to fellow Canadians just because of a fickle and hostile administration is denialism. Can’t change their minds with evidence, their opinions are made on emotion not facts.

Why don't you ask steel, aluminum producers - as well as softwood lumber makers - how damage-free they've been since the latest tariff fracas began? Or do you blame all the GDP contraction and higher consumer costs on Canada's government alone? After all, if we're in a recession because of a 0.1% drop in GDP, and some say overall GDP has dropped between 1.5 and 2%, how much of that drop is due to tariffs?

He is part of the problem, but the party itself needs to decide if it wants to chase the PPC and cede the right of centre, or if it wants to chase the centre and cede the PPC base. Under its new leadership, the Liberal party is no longer trying to pass the NDP on the left, and it will pick-up centrists as long as the CPC continues trying to appeal to the PPC vote.

The LPC should stop playing fast and loose with the Elbows Up/I wore red for you mr Trump games.
Move to disengage our economy with theirs.
Trump isn't a one-off. He's a pioneer. There will be no shortage of hostile-to-Canada politicians waiting to take his place.
