@Derricktgoat Years of failed govt policy has brought Canada to the point of not having the manufacturing and industry that would allow us to be an independent economy.
We build so little here and most of the companies are owned by US giants
@rupasubramanya Well if the cost is a burden by Canadian families who are already struggling I think any reasonable person would connect the dots as being bad
@fordnation Doug, I think you need to visit the steel fabrication and design shops in Ontario and ask them if products are available.
You will quickly find out that steel mills are supplying the USA ahead of Canada as it’s more lucrative for them.
Do your research
@BoswellDoug It would be the time to ask the steel mills in Canada if they are prioritizing Canadian or US supply because the steel workers are seeing a shortage of common dimensional steel here as they are sending products to the USA for a higher price
Again for the ones in the back:
Canada does not mine bauxite (the primary ore needed for aluminum) and relies on imports for it.
Aluminum metal is not found pure in nature. It is produced from bauxite ore.
Canada has no domestic bauxite mines.
Canada exports roughly 2.4–2.75 million metric tonnes of primary (unwrought) aluminum to the United States in recent years, making the U.S. by far its dominant market.
Canada’s strength is in energy-efficient smelting and refining of imported materials into high-quality primary aluminum, not in mining the initial ore.
@ezralevant Unfortunately Canada nor Ontario can unplug the US power supply.
Doing this would be attack on the US infrastructure and could or would trigger the use of military force by the US to restore that system.
Canada signed a deal that has us delivering power to the USA on priority
@rupasubramanya after watching this video I am concerned that Carney may have mislead Canadians or his negotiating team failed to understand the constraints that are in the agreement already.

@kinsellawarren While I understand we are not privy to the trade deal Carney walked away from but the argument and facts posted here should and need to be clarified by Carney.

I think every #canadian should watch this breakdown of Carney’s statements. Now I am curious why #msm isn‘t breaking down the trade story.
I would ask the @liberal_party to provide clear and total response to these allegations

@rupasubramanya@Scaramucci Help me understand how we are winning.
Canada provides 62% of the oil imports into the USA yet Americans pay on average less per litre than Canadians at the pumps.
If we have the resources why do we pay more?
@MrStache9 What Ford ignores is this would be considered an attack on a country similar to hacking a countries banking system which can be met with military force.
Canada would have no chance as our military is not equipped to defend its own border
