The US trade to Canada makes up 1.3% of their GDP. Our trade to the US makes up 22% of our GDP. We cannot win a trade war. Getting into a trade war is a huge mistake. The US makes up 4% of the world population, yet they consume 30% of the worlds production. We need them as customers more than thy need us.
Regarding Furey. He is spending us into oblivion by running massive deficits annually, yet he does nothing about it. But now, he has a BOOGIEMAN to frighten us with. I wouldn't be surprised if we get an election soon where its Furey vrs Trump. And I suppose he can cod enough people into the "rallying around the flag" bull that Danny fooled everyone with.
The Fentanyl issue is very real. Over 100,000 Americans are poisoned annually with opioids. If there was a terror attack where 100,000 people were killed, WW3 would break out, yet this has been allowed to grow and continue because its only one addict at a time. That country has to do something with its borders and China, which is the source of most of the poison's inputs. I don't know why Canada is not just complying with the request to improve border security right away. Maintaining that relationship with the US is critical to our economic well being.
We also don't pull on weight on NATO, spending only 1.4% of our GDP, while in order to maintain NATO, at least 3% of GDP needs to be spent. So Canada is being a freeloader, in this sense.
I think the actual real issue probably at play is the Trump team has no respect for Trudeau. That has been quite obvious over the years. My guess is Freeland was let go because of this - the US didnt want to deal with her. Maybe a new govt team could fix this up in a jiffy.
This isn't about fentanyl or borders. It's not about defence.
It's about trade policy and monetary policy. And so far Canadians across the board have missed this crucial point that was obvious from the beginning. I'll be coming back to this on Monday with a more pointed, focused piece on specifically what we need to do to deal with that. I'll offer some specific policies and also generally, politically.
Now that we can not afford lettuces and such from California, what better time to deep dive into large scale hydroponics, there is even a building standing empty with all the gear
