Remember tariffs don’t raise prices, the greedy corrupt corporations do this. If they would absorb them which they are financially able to but choose not to, it would be fine and no scary sensationalism

I know it's not on most people's radar, but what is a huge problem that no one talks enough about is how when so many temporary foreign workers come here, they make money in Canadian dollars and then send that money out of our economy to their home Country. So our Canadian dollars are sold, and isn't spent in our Economy. When you go somewhere and you don't see any born in Canada employees you really need to make a choice to not support that business.
Canadian wages should go to Canadians and spent in our economy. I hope we wise up and we start to really limit how many people we bring into the Country. We're literally bringing in 400K+ people that's about the size of Halifax, EVERY year. We just cannot support this rapid growth. Especially when the people coming in have no intention of integrating and do not share our values.
Focuses on economic impact of temporary foreign workers, money leaving the economy, and wages for Canadians, with underlying concern about integration and values.

If they didn't bring their culture of being rude, obnoxious and disregard Canadian laws and etiquette maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but they also mass imported them to give companies cheap labor so they've taken a tonne of opportunity from Canadians, reduced the quality of our education system making domestic Canadians unlikely to get any employment and the students also exploit the system to work. They all need a place to live and many are exploiting the government for benefits on top of driving up housing prices because of the scarcity they're actively causing.
Comprehensive critique linking immigration to job displacement, wage suppression, housing costs, and education system degradation.

Trump is NOT starting a trade war. He is equalizing the playing field. Canada was already imposing a 25% tariff on the US unfairly. Now they are charging 50% tariffs. Not fair at all!

“I won’t sugar coat it” seems someone has understood how tariffs work. Which is somehow the reasons economies do everything to reduce or get rid of tariffs.

Business say prices will increase. There are few who said they will absorb the cost (bravo). Business may raise prices but people will only buy essential goods. So both consumer and businesses will suffer.
