Canadas solution to Trumps demands for less protectionism? Canada will stop it domestically! It's time to 'tear down interprovincial trade walls'

[shockedcanadian]

This is the embarrassment in this nation. Primarily the S.I.C doesn't want any covert police from other provinces in their turf. "Hey, only WE can manufacture threats, hurt businesses and violate citizens rights in this province pal, get out!"

The country that tells American "don't protect your countries economy" in fact, protects each province from the others and citizen pay a MASSIVE amount more for goods and services. If we had American businesses competing here fairly too rather than the Creepy Ones in U.S corporations here, Canadian would save even much more.

We're an old dying, East German replicate competing in the world when our best citizens either wisely leave or the Creepy Ones destroy. The world innovates and harnesses their talent, we allow the son of a cop to be the local steelmill Foreman.

Dirtbags, all of them...

It's time to 'tear down interprovincial trade walls'. But how close are we to doing it?

Movement to remove trade barriers within Canada has been renewed with the threat of Trump tariffs, but the progress to date has been slow

The threat of U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports is driving governments across the country to look inward to see how we can improve shared productivity and boost the country’s economy.

“One of the profound ironies of Canada’s focus on foreign trade is that, in many cases, it is actually easier for Canadian companies to do business across international borders than it is within our own country,” says the Business Council of Alberta.

Canadians are trying to destroy America by drinking less American booze. Good luck with that.

All of this is reactionary. They want to try to remake 150 years of being obedient to Overlords within a month because Trump has basically threatened our sovereignty with tariffs and annexation.

They deal a need to change because we probably has many politicians on the payroll. Many of them who (not surprisingly) would defend Canada before they defended your southern border.

Since I was a kid, they persecuted my type to keep us in our "caste" in case we get a little too uppity. They mocked and suppressed intelligent people, viewing us as those who think we are "too good for the Neanderthals". I can imagine them patting each other on the back with vitriol towards the like of kids like me who were in enrichment math "oh yeah, I'll show him that little bastard, look at him, he thinks he better than us!".

These criminals have taken everything from me. My hearing in one ear, my dignity, they defended the diddlers, stole my education pursuits, my career, recruited my wife and others to harm me and soon they are going to steal my home.

For the last 20 years I warned the powers that be in this country of what was going to occur, it took a Biden (and his challenging of our EV marketshare) and a Trump in back-to-back presidencies for Canada to wake up.

You be sure the last change to occur in this country will be transparency, accountability and civil liberties. Canadian media is also in an uproar that Trumps team is exposing USAID. Why? Is it because they profited from it?

I think someone said that the U.S sells $250B in alcohol each year and Canada contributes as a whole to approx. $1B of those entire sales.

We are a fraction of a percent and this is because Canada notoriously protects it's markets for external competition.

You guys do make entertaining beer commercials.

But this one for Miller is still the best one.

It's such a shame...this is all unnecessary.

Drop the tariffs on us & we wont tariff you.

That's what Trump is saying to EVERY COUNTRY! The EU wont allow American cars to be sold in their countries...that is equal to a one-million percent tariff on autos. On other American goods they have a VAT (value added tax) of 33%...but charge other countries 2%. So expect tariffs soon on the EU (European union). Or they could drop their restrictions on us.

Some countries have a 100% tariff on harley davidson...ONLY...nobody else.

China tilts the playing field by devaluing its currency...That needs to stop or face tariffs.

All we're asking for is a fucking level playing field!

Our tariffs are not even remotely the worst we engage in against U.S corporations, I know, I blew the whistle on these criminal activities being committed in U.S corporations and their spreading of hatred against the U.S and Israel among others. All of this, quite transparently by the way as I begged, pleaded and cried for mercy for the basic premise for freedom of Self Determination. Premises written into the Magna Carta hundreds of years ago!

The fact that noone cared, even twisting the screws harder to watch me wither in pain illustrates the arrogance and lack of concern for consequences. Well, now there are consequences and they can't blame me, I was only the messenger.

... The EU wont allow American cars to be sold in their countries...

What is a totally absurde bullshit - and what you know since Donald Trump had been the first time president of the USA and he had stopped the TTIP negotiations. It are about ±1% what are differences in special cases in the tariffs for cars which are all together make in average 0 difference.

But indeed we should forbid US-cars in Europe. Big, loud, bad quality, uncomfortable, expensive ... and slow ...

Canada is freaking out over any talk of tariffs.

Canada has destroyed our economy and our best and brightest. The U,S is now going to enjoy an influx of our best and brightest in A.I and other important industries as the potential is gone here. This is probably the long term game Trump is playing.

35+ Years of my life stolen, I don't need to be convinced of how little civil liberties and human rights we have here.

Germany for example has the very best research in AI. And Germany has the very best software for cars. A software which really works. VW for example is really doing a great job in this context. But no one promises nonsense like "autonomously driving cars without errors". Fully autonomous cars will only exist in a machine world - but a machine world is an unreal dead world. The fascinating starship enterprise idea "Data" is exactly this: an idea. An idea from the 17th century by the way when the USA did not exist. An this idea will also never become reality. Machines will always be "only" tools. And it will never exist a universal tool, a universal machine slave. Better to say: A computer will always be only a machine which is able to simulate any other machine but will not become alive or will get spirit. Trumps slave holder mentality will help you less than nothing at all - it will be damn counterproductive for your whole country. You are on the way to try to create a Borg world. And what's very far from a Borg world is ... ¿Canada? ... ? And what's also very far from a Borg Queen is Donald Trump on his own. Who likes to be assimilated from such an idiot?

35+ Years of my life stolen, I don't need to be convinced of how little civil liberties and human rights we have here.

You make other nations responsible for the nonsense your own country is doing? Go to a doctor with your whole nation. Don't forget to open all windows so that you don't choke on your own stench.

Why I am not astonished? I fear otherwise you would be the first English native speaker who would follow reasonable arguments without being forced to do so. Seems to me the native English speaking world is only able to learn by bad experiences. A reason to teach the own children under all circumstances a challenging foreign language like Latin for example.

Trump is what? Since when? Trump is statementing - empty phrases - and in a worst case scenario he follows this self-made idiocies.

This has been talked about for many years and nothing really substantial ever comes of it. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
