Let's start distinguishing North Indians with South Indians. Most south Indians work harder there, than most Canadians and for the same price but jobs that most Canadians don't do.

canada exports 75+% of its overall products into the united states, it only imports 50ish% overall products from the united states of america. This is why the tariffs are in place. Agree or disagree, this is why trump is doing what hes doing. Our country is in shambles and we need our allies to pump money into our economy or else it will only get worse in our country. And both canada and mexico are outraged by the simple way trump is approaching this.
Provides trade statistics and economic rationale for tariffs, analyzing the economic relationship between countries and its policy implications.

The strategy of corporations exploiting illegal labour practices are never going to go away since it encourages cheap labour without any benefits is a huge leverage for the companies and the government and of course the last but not the least steps like these are not solutions for the unemployed local workers but a huge excuse for the so called organisations to open a huge black market for the illegals even more with higher rates of shipping the possible jobs abroad
Analyzes economic impacts of immigration policy, focusing on labor exploitation, corporate incentives, and effects on local workers.

Every single country has huge tariffs against our country. All Trump wants is for them to pay us the same we pay them. Why any taxpayer would be upset is against it is beyond me. Course Trudeau just said he was going to sacrifice his citizens in a forever war that is already lost. Thank God Trump will protect our citizens and just wants a even playing field. Canada has gotten away with robbing us long enough.
Defends Trump's tariff policy on economic grounds (fair trade, leveling the playing field) while criticizing Trudeau's military stance.

I think Trump is tired of our trade deficit with Canada. I have faith in Trump. This has nothing to do with the Canadian people.

37T in US debt. We’ve been unfairly treated the past 60 years from unfair trades from the world and Trump was the only President to say “enough”.
