Trump Tariffs Won't Work - Stockton

They have to keep raising step for step with the US Fed, to sell govt of Canada debt.

Then shouldn't we be at the same rate for fuel as well...

It always seems like we get bent over...fuel made from cheap western discounted oil has to be priced somewhere else.

fertilizer has to be priced like it made a trip to NOLA and back....with cheapest natural gas on the planet.

no selection of chemicals for our crop because the PMRA is bought off by those same companies....then no one will address the lack of effectiveness of the chemicals sold....or explain the residual effects of so called non residual chemicals like SOLO....

etc etc etc....

People need to decide if they want cheap walmart stuff or pay a little more to have a job and a functioning economy.

The people already decided that one a long time ago as evidenced by the growth of Walmart - the average consumer doesn't make the connection. Cheap plastic is good, screw your neighbour, the economy, the environment!

Look at Japan. It's the productivity of the people that creates wealth. I do agree with you to a certain extent.

Canada is the least productive nation in the OECD. We live by our resources. Anyone with abundant natural resources is the winner, cheap labour easy to find and exploit and soon to be replaced with automation.
