@WalshFreedom While I understand your stance it is key to understand that without the US there is no NATO. Well not a NATO capable to defend a nation as they will not have the firepower or monetary resources.
@LauraBabcock I guess my question is why isn’t Carney recalling Parliament and working with all of Canada’s elected MP’s to plan a response to the trade war?
@BoswellDoug While Canadians are some of the most educated it really only connects with the k-12 and lifelong learning. Canada does not have an elite level of education if the comparison is with the USA
@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.
