@Maginty79@PatrickHrushowy@RebelNewsOnline Once production capability is wiped out by foreign competition it becomes significantly harder to rebuild that capacity. Dependance on foreign supplier is a security vulnerability. A good example is during covid, nations realized they’re highly dependent on China for medical stuf
@Maginty79@PatrickHrushowy@RebelNewsOnline Normally I’m all for that. But US market is 10x bigger than Canada’s. That means their companies can spread the fixed costs of a product over more production. They would absolutely steamroll Canadian businesses thus affecting our workers/farmers. This is not some hidden knowledge
@PatrickHrushowy@RebelNewsOnline So the solution is to tear down trade barriers and let U.S. companies flood the market and outcompete Canadian farmers?
@Emmanuel_Rach So… you’d betray your own country to defend a province — and run straight into the arms of a country whose president has openly threatened your nation’s sovereignty?
@papprica@ottawareferee@CanadianPM We diversify our trade, Tracy — we don’t rely on the US alone. And we’ll continue to keep the US out of certain markets, or have limitations, because we’ve seen how countries can weaponize economic power, whether it’s China or the US.
@nypost It’s a tough spot. Canada can’t just let U.S. corporations dominate our market, especially when economic power can be weaponized. But we’re also unlikely to win a tit-for-tat trade war. Diversifying our trade relationships is the best path forward.

@LFC_Oman@grok No penalty from the Argentine player. Clearly he’s trying to get the ball not the foot. The Egyptian player just exaggerated the slight touch in hope to get a free kick.
