Trump Is An Idiot! Canada Can Simply Join The BRICS.
Canada isn't dependant on the US market. However, the US is completely dependant on Canadian resources, that Canada can simply sell to someone else.
Considering the US controlled Forex currency trading floor keeps Canada’s currency valued much lower against the US dollar, making the US dollar worth around $1.38 to the Canadian dollar, the US is actually stealing Canada’s resources and should be charged with colonial crimes for turning Canada into pauper nation with America’s illegal trade practices. Canada is so wealthy in resources reserved and developed, with a far more modern infrastructure than the US that the US should be begging Canadians for our help, not threatening it. Canada could easily put all the homeless in Canada in houses. Could easily subsidize all Canadians income to 100% and still have enough to maintain trade with the US.
I would like to remind Trump that American corporations are fleeing Canada, Target left long ago but Victoria’s Secret just left as well and Nordstroms left Canada just before Victoria’ Secret. Canadians are voting with their dollars in a very anti American way. Canadians are sick of free trade being used as an excuse to deregulate Canada to conform to the US Market. Just because the US did away with rent control, the only thing necessary to keep the price of real estate at reasonably low prices, does not mean Canada had to become as mean spirited as Americans are. It doesn’t mean Canada should leave Canadians living on the street, just to satisfy the American balance sheet.
American colonialism in Canada was conducted at gun point. Almost every Canadian politician that didn’t want to vote for free trade with the US, was physically threatened by the CIA. This happened after Liberal candidate Jean Chretien promised to cancel the US/Canada Free Trade deal if he was elected, as it was already draining Canada of jobs. Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney literally promised not to sign the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, if elected to the prime minister’s office in the 1988 Canadian federal election but then signed the deal as one of the first things he did as pm. When Jean Chretien was elected prime minister, he began negotiations with the US, in the North America Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA, that brought Mexico into the free trade zone as the US wanted Mexico for cheap labour but Canada for resources. The US even made sure that Mexico’s nor Canada’s name was in the title of the Agreement. Only America’s name.
Canada is being robbed and the Canadian public are being driven into poverty as America’s deliberate policy of “Scarcity” in the market, pushes more Canadians onto the street, limiting the availability of housing by simply doing away with rent control. I was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the US in 1994 when liberal democrats pushed a ballot initiative to end rent control, enlisting home owners, who’s own greed at the possibility greater equity in their homes, blinded them to the consequences of an unregulated real estate market. American liberals didn’t care about the consequences of deregulating the real estate market, as long as they could line their pockets with ill gotten gains. Who was living in rent controlled apartments by and large, in Cambridge, seniors that’s who. Most of the seniors in Cambridge had to move out of their home town or move in with their kids, as a result. After totally screwing the American public, over the rent and mortgage, the US made sure the same thing happened in Canada.
Trudeau and Singh made sure, the new Canadian dental program was not folded into the Canadian single payer healthcare system, to further undermine Canadian healthcare and to one day privatize the entire health infrastructure in Canada. Even Canada’s illegal cannabis regulations were written and implemented in the US before Canada bent the knee to the most ridiculous regulations ever thought up by the US. Micky Cantor, President Bill Clinton’s NAFTA trade negotiator, called Canada’s single payer healthcare system an unfair trade practice, that Canada would have to end to comply with the principals of free trade after Clinton himself campaigned on providing Americans with universal healthcare. Americans can’t be trusted but nor can the cowards we call our Canadian elected leaders.
The US can’t sell their brands in Canada anymore but keep forcing Canada to open up to more and more, to US products as the criminal we call a prime minister stays on his knees and opens the Canadian dairy market to American dairy though American dairy can’t comply with Canadian dairy regulations that keep dangerous chemicals out of Canadian milk products, Americans put in their milk to increase productions and shelf life. Canadian seniors and disabled, are now forced to pick bottles out of garbage cans, for the bottle deposit, all across Canada, just to eat, as their pension check is completely consumed by the rent.
Canadians are a small demographic, only 35 million people within the second largest nation, in terms of land mass and resources, in the world. Canada really doesn’t constitute a high demand market like the US, China, India or the EU. So it’s completely obvious, along with the US maintaining the Canadian dollar at poverty levels, that US colonialism is really, only interested in stealing our resources to claim as America’s own. Trump’s arrogant statements, about annexing Canada will only cause Canadians to, not buy or sell anything to or from America, anymore. Even if Trump’s remarks are to sew the fear of an American invasion of Canada, to set Canada up to sacrifice more of Canada to the US in Trump’s absurd “Art of the deal” bullshit, the only thing Americans can do to further American control of Canada’s resources, is annex Canada by force as the US already controls the price of the Canadian dollar and has veto power over all Canadian energy projects and energy resources due to NAFTA. Canadians only see a narcissistic moron in Trump and want their country back. Trump is now in deep trouble with the Canadian people who are not likely to lay down for anymore US imposed poverty on Canada. It will be a great deal easier for 35 million Canadians to find new markets for Canadian goods than it will be for 350 million Americans to find the resources to keep the most wasteful economy on the planet going. Trump is an idiot.
