So, we keep telling the world, like any good back stabbing socialist would: "don't be protectionist, the world needs to be a free market (supposedly so Canada can bribe, steal and assault their economies). However, in Canada we don't even have free trade across provincial lines!
We have protectionism and heavy state control of: dairy, lumber, our television content some even State run with Chinese subsidies (CBC and Huawei). In NAFTA Canada has exceptions for "cultural" issues. Meaning, "we want to spread our socialism onto you America, we don't want you to spread individual liberty onto us".
We have complete barriers and oligarchs in our banking system, what we call the Big Five (CIBC, RBC, TD Bank, Bank of Montreal, Scotia Bank). We have excessive taxes and tariffs, including an absurd $20 limit on buying U.S items over the net duty free, while America has an $800 limit for their citizens. I could literally list hundreds of State owned operations, this, on top of our very active and broad covert apparatus against Canadian and foreign companies here.
So, the bottom line is, and Americans should ask themselves this often as Canadians are doing of late, "just why does Canada pretend it wants a free trade agreement?"
Canada has only an interest in protecting certain classes, some of these classes, the Security Apparatus, work very hard in an effort to defend their OWN interests, along with their pay Masters. Canadians, always get the shaft.
I pay $4.50 for cheap milk at the store, I think it's a 4 litre bag, I am told the equivalent in the U.S if $2 or less. We pay $1.99 for cheap dozen eggs, I am told in the U.S you can get it for .67. You understand what is going on here? IN the free market we have choices, as many as possible, in crony capitalism designed to defend low performers, you have state dictated choices. As one might experience in Russia or China.
I hope Trump stands his ground on this, and if need be, applies tariffs to cars. I guarantee, if he doesn't get a quick deal within a week with ALL U.S demands after applying this tariff, the other outcome would be 200k jobs returned. Trudeau cannot survive if the U.S hits us with a tariff. He will also be doing Canada an amazing favor as the biggest benefactor would be Maxine Bernier, Canadas first rebellious libertarian who left the Conservatives after getting shafted.
Any rise of Berniers stock is good for Canadian liberty.
