Taking an economics class right now. It's true that the single and only result of tariffs is government revenue at the cost of citizens of both involved countries. Both countries, not one.

The declining birthrate is directly tied to the economy. It's not that people aren't capable of having big families, it's that it's been made unaffordable to do so.

Many people do not understand how tariffs impact the importation of goods and services. Canada lacks the infrastructure to produce the minerals required for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. Additionally, Canada does not possess the same international influence as the United States, particularly in military matters. As a result, Canadians may face more significant challenges, as their economy relies more on U.S. trade than the United States' reliance on Canada. Overall, Canada has a less developed economy and limited global influence.
Detailed analysis of tariffs, trade dependencies, infrastructure, and economic disparities between Canada and the United States.

It's a lie a company can't find Canadian workers. Companies get half the wages for a newcomer employee reimbursed by the federal government. Paid to hire foreigners instead of Canadian born.

People aren’t even talking about tourism because it’s not directly hit by tariffs. Over 20 billion dollars in 2024 spent by Canadians in the US for travel.

Canada has a population of 40 million while the U.S. has 330 million. Take a wild guess why Canada has a trade surplus with the United States.
