Americans can buy our sh*t and there is no tax for THAT!

While we are listening to Mr. Trudeau's garble, americans and foreigners are buying up our equipment, materials, houses, cars, trucks, and almost everything else without paying duty or taxes.

Our government is doing NOTHING about this.
They can bring our stuff to THEIR country, with almost no tax, but when we IMPORT we have to pay usually 10-25% duty and tax, paid to our own government. For what? Oh ya, a better 'selfie camera' for our prime minister.

Wonder why that Edmonton auction had so many foreign buyers last week?...........
I am confused, why is this a bad thing? Brings money into our nation?

Housing - I get - core asset prices being driven up by foreigners.
