If this tariff business is prolonged, a lot of people's jobs are cooked. I do fear what is to come. Feels ostensibly needless - part of the continued fear propaganda and keeping well in a state of anxiousness unfortunately. If many Canadians were far better off and not (what was the study) a loss of $200 away from paying their next bill on time, we may be able to weather more.
I read it on reddit I believe but we definitely need to focus hard on independence and building up our own industries. We absolutely should be energy independent, agricultural independent and invest and invest in tech. Export excess to emerging nations...as a by product, we should not be paying upwards of 50%+ income tax and taxed to absolute death in every other way. This is more off topic but a far more robust industrial country, with the vast abundance of all we have, means there should be money back in pockets.
All the hospitals, school systems, public roads, parks and facilities can be well funded, without the incessant need to keep hands in pockets. Canadians and Canadian companies need to switch their mentality i truly believe - we need to stop settling, we need to be less agreeable, we need to take more risks and be more innovative.
Someone else here posted about Kitchener essentially losing it's entire 'Silicon Valley of Canada' label and this is a mega shame (IMO).
I know it's perhaps unpopular because Cons proposed this (i think?), these taxes that make up the first 100k+ of new builds need to GTFO, yesterday. One example at least.
