This is a lose-lose for the American people. Trump has done nothing to lower prices and support the American people. This tariff war will only make things worse.

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel.

Uses personal observation of Ontario residents' grocery shopping behavior in Michigan to argue against Trudeau's economic management.

sure it’s an economic asset to India, but not canada. most of the money they make goes back to their home country. Not even beginning to mention how many jobs are being stripped away from young Canadians that are needing a first job like tim hortons or any of the sort. it’s ridiculous the job market in canada is destroyed because of this immigration mess
Argues immigration harms Canadian economy by draining money abroad and displacing young Canadian workers from entry-level jobs.

the Indians i know in canada have been very hard working and honest people. there was one who had to go back home though they wouldn’t renew his worker permit. I know plenty more on these permits. It’s not just indians though there’s also Brazilians, Chileans, and Venezuelans. One thing I hate is my job prioritizing their work hours over mine because they “need the hours” to stay in this country. where as this is my own country and I’m getting cut hours during slow season. smh
Combines lived experience with workers on permits with economic grievance about job hour prioritization and workplace competition.

The east Indian problem has gotten extremely bad where I am in Canada they keep buying businesses and then firing all the white people but if you call it out, you're racist like, I'm getting turned down when I hand out resumes, because I'm white and I was born in Canada its bad they're taking all the student jobs and then buying the businesses where students are working and then firing the students i'm no longer in school, so it's even harder to find a job. It's gotten to the point where if you want a job you need to work for yourself. They're even taking jobs in the trades so now people are having to work for themselves under-the-table and launder their money the average median income in Canada is anywhere from $45000 to $50000 a year the average house costs $673,335 the average household only makes $80000 a year i used to dream about having my own home and starting a family now I just hope I can find an apartment for less than $2000 a month that isn't owned by a slum Lord living in Toronto that's bought the property without ever even being to Smiths Falls a day in their life.
Combines personal economic hardship narrative with claims of ethnic discrimination in hiring and business ownership, framing immigration as economic threat.
