We love Canada. Tariffs fail. Especially tariffs on friends. We are $36 TRILLION in debt. We need to block trade, but not with friends.

As an IT professional , I can say that all American programmers are thrown away from the market because of Indians. Some of them are good , some are really bad, but what I noticed... they have a common fearure...they lie constantly about their education and experience. When you are interviewing an Indian IT person , they know everything, according to their answers... but it is a lie.
Claims professional experience to argue Indian IT workers displace Americans and engage in credential fraud, mixing anecdotal narrative with economic impact claims.

After covid 19 and lax immigration laws opened the flood gates of Indians to come in and what they did? Start buying houses making the prices reach unattainable levels now for any native.
