No winners? Your gravy train with the US is over and you have the most to lose. The US has been asking for fair reciprocity with its trading partners but you are causing it to be demanded. Canada has a population about the same as one state California. Trump has opened the US up to extracting and using its own oil, mineral, timber and other resources which we have lots and lots of. Just a matter of time before America is rid of the parasites on its ass.
Argues about trade reciprocity, economic advantage, and resource extraction, comparing Canada's economic position unfavorably to the US.

As a canadian I really feel this, thanks these indians and our government getting a job is a nightmare especially if you live in the city and most of the country is far-left so it isn't changing anytime soon.

Well, if 25% tariffs existed, I don’t think Canada can do anything about it. President Trump won’t stop until it’s solved. That’s for sure!

sure it’s an economic asset to India, but not canada. most of the money they make goes back to their home country.

Argues immigration harms Canadian economy by draining money abroad and displacing young Canadian workers from entry-level jobs.

Everyone is getting hurt by it. IS suffer as well, since they gambled on coming to Canada thinking they could improve their life conditions in here. Instead, they find a country with no jobs, high living costs and tuition. IS and Canadians are getting ripped off.

I think these words mean nothing, one shoudl look at actual data. There have been a tremendous imbalance between the US and most of the world. US produces so much, have so many resourcers but could not compete. Instead, they were forced to open operations in foreign countries, which does not benefit US taxpayers. You like it or not, US was on a downhill if other countries would not agree to make American products competitive.
Analysis of US economic imbalance, trade competitiveness, and manufacturing relocation as justification for trade policy adjustments.
