    Which means Canadians will lose their jobs, they will be out of work, and some companies in Canada will not hire because there’s not enough sales to hire anybody new.

      Consider the cost of inaction. A decade of lost economic growth, fewer jobs, and diminished competitiveness – all because we lacked the leverage to counter these blatantly unfair tariffs. Can we afford that?

      Either those tariffs come down quick because we fight back, we massively expand our trading relationships with countries we don’t get along with (China, Russia, India) Erdogan-style, or we experience what could amount to a Great Depression once Trump escalates further again knowing we’re an easy target.

        Yeah, it may hurt more in the short term than just accepting the American tariffs meekly, but it’s the right thing to do to stand up to this American insanity. Just accepting Trump’s bullying doesn’t fix anything at all.
