The pain shifts from Ontario to the far end of the country in B.C.
Canada needs to become more free as America is with it's Constitution. We cannot keep pretending the old fossil of a centralized system is going to be successful in the new, competition/innovation driven global economy. The S.I.C have destroyed our country and they cannot blame Trump on the 100k homeless in Ontario alone.
Some do NOT want to open up to the U.S, be it financial industries, telecom, dairy etc. Even though it would greatly assist Canadian consumers to have competition here.
The reason they dont want to open up is that they are covertly controlling these industries and they know American corporations would quickly realize this if they were granted access.

VANCOUVER - British Columbia lumber organizations are condemning the decision by the U.S. Commerce Department to raise anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood to 20.56 per cent, calling them unjustified, punitive and protectionist.
The B.C. Council of Forest Industries issued a statement Friday saying the trade action will harm workers, families and communities across the province and Canada.
The council is calling on the Canadian government to make finding a resolution to the softwood dispute a top national priority, saying the latest escalation from the Commerce Department shows they can’t wait for the United States to act.
The B.C. Lumber Trade Council says in a separate statement that if the U.S. department’s pending review on countervailing duties is in line with its preliminary results, the combined rate against Canadian softwood shipped to the United States will be well over 30 per cent.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said earlier this month that a future trade agreement with the United States could include quotas on softwood lumber, an area that has caused friction between two countries for years before the latest trade war.
The American department had issued a preliminary anti-dumping rate in March of 20.07 per cent, up from 7.66 per cent set three years before, which is in addition to the countervailing duties of 6.74 per cent.
