Well, everyone can criticize Trump for his actions all we want, but its not like we have any control over what Trump does, and you gotta be pretty bloody dumb to not see that Canada has been sleep walking into this issue for decades.
No matter which way we want to cut it, or who is in charge (Biden kept original Trump tariffs as well, didn't he even increase them?), Canada being so dependent on the US and having literally no plan in place to actually export our natural resources to the rest of the world is nobody's fault but our own.
Even the Buy Canada stuff, why haven't we been doing that all along? Why don't we have federal legislation that requires food packaging to have proper labels?
Then you have the inter provincial trade issues which were seriously discussed since 2019, and nothing really done about it.
Our inability to export oil & gas to the rest of the world.
TMX expansion was so ridiculously over budget and yet despite that its quite evident its likely still economically a good deal for the government in terms of ROI. And yet despite that we have people saying there is no business case for pipelines.
Anything going east, Quebec is already saying if it doesn't benefit them, they don't want it. What about benefiting the entire country?
We also know the US government has been using disinformation to make sure Canada doesn't actually export our oil anywhere else other than the US.
On and on we go.
Canada is a natural resource country. By all means we should be the richest country in in the world. But somehow we love getting in the way of ourselves when it comes actually accomplishing anything.
But hey, its the CPC party. They haven't been in charge for 9 years, but its THEIR FAULT.
