I’m Canadian. I vote in Canada. I don’t get a ballot in the U.S.
Whether you love Trump or hate him is irrelevant to this point: our economic problems existed long before tariffs. That should be the only thing dominating headlines.
Housing didn’t collapse because of Trump. Productivity didn’t stall because of Trump. Per-capita GDP didn’t weaken because of Trump. Capital wasn’t initially fleeing because of Trump. Justin Trudeau didn’t step down over tariffs—he stepped down because Canadians no longer believed he could fix what was already broken. Tariffs didn’t create our vulnerabilities… they highlighted policy failure that was previously masked.
If one trade shock rattles your economy, the structure was already fragile.
So why are we gossiping about Trump’s personality instead of dissecting our own numbers? Why are we speculating about American politics instead of talking about Canada’s declining productivity, stalled investment, rising debt, and capital flight?
75%-85% of our exports are covered under USMCA. Yet tariffs are still the convenient villain—because it’s easier to blame an American president than to reform tax policy, reduce regulatory drag, attract investment, and grow productivity.
Talking about Trump every day doesn’t fix Canada. But reading our own economic data just might. Canada doesn’t need an American scapegoat… It needs structural reform. And until we address taxation, regulation, capital formation, and productivity, we’ll keep treating symptoms with rebates and headlines while the underlying problem gets worse.
It’s been a year.
At this point, obsessing over Trump isn’t analysis… It’s continuing to avoid and hold the government accountable.
@CheriDiNovo@SkateCanada What does this mean for our Olympic athletes? IOC has banned transgender athletes from participating in all Olympic events. This would be heartbreaking for all the hard work they continue to put in.
@CTVCalgary Better question to ask is will people have a choice on their property taxes to have their taxes support a private school. It would only be fair.
@ShaneWenzel My view on this is quite simple. The left always wants to increase taxes on the rich. Well , rich are not stupid, they leave because they have the means. Two tier is a way of taxing the rich by not using public funds for health.

Spoke with two teachers.
They are family. And private.
Both are upset that the union and the teachers are being berated and influenced by the @AlbertaNDP. Constantly.
Clearly this isn’t about the teachers.
It’s Needy @Nenshi begging for credibility.
Please RT as we all hope a deal is reached next week. For the sake of Alberta.
@nenshi She is listening to all sides. Something a good Premier should do.
No different than how PM Carney is doing.
In the end Majority will vote.
Smith is actually getting agreements done across Canada, BC and Ontario. Last I checked , that’s being a Canadian.
This trend will make your blood boil.
Look at the leaders in Trudeau's government.
Everyone who resigned or was forced out has 1 thing in common.
And it reveals a disturbing pattern in Canadian politics...
@calstampeders Terrible performance. You had a chance to gain a lot of new fans and you blew it. Jake Meier is not good enough to play in this league. Dave Dickinson needs to resign.
The Trojans celebrated the conclusion of the 2023-24 season last Thursday, and we truly can’t thank everyone enough for another incredible year! #WeAreTrojans
