Poilievre calls for emergency tax cut to put Canada 1st while condemning Trump's tariffs | FULL

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre reacted on Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump's executive order was signed on Saturday and the tariffs take effect Tuesday.
Poilievre condemned President Trump's "massive and unjustified tariffs, which will damage both American and Canadian economies." He's calling for an immediate tax cut to put Canada first.
He also posed a question to Americans: "A 25 per cent tariff on Canada and only a 10 per cent tariff on China? In what strategic mindset does that make sense? If it's to do with fentanyl, the fentanyl is coming from China," Poilievre said.
"We must retaliate dollar for dollar, carefully aiming those tariffs at maximizing the impact on American companies while minimizing the impact on Canadian consumers and businesses," Poilievre said.

This is a huge wakeup call for Canada.
The huge wake call was when the east elected trudope 3 f'en times. Talk about the great divide.
Gigantic 🙏 😢
@@annsumner8570 This is not the time to divide, save this discourse for election time. Now we need to be Canadian.
@@samuelhasenclever1082
We are not in this together.
Once again, we push Alberta and Ontario to bear the brunt of economic hardship and everyone else sits back and sings.
9 years of Trudeau bashing conservatives and now we’re together?
Hell no
YES IT IS AND WHO CAN WE THANK ONCE WE GET BACK ON ROAD WITH WINDOWS DOWN
Maybe its time for the provinces to put their differences aside and start properly trading with eachother
Also who needs american food brands. Its all unhealthy anyways. EU food safety standards are much higher. Asian food is also less expensive. American food companies may be cheap, but its all oil and unhealthy.
Just my opinion
Alberta has exit the chat
Put aside the differences... pretty hard when the east kept voting in the turd and crippled our country.
Tell that to Danielle Smith
Are you canadian? Im Dutch and I cant even begin to comprehend the concept of a country not being able to trade with itself.
If Canada is to unite we truly need to relook at all the interprovincial regulations of all goods,resouces etc ...
Yea, it's hard to do canada first when our provinces have made it a bureaucratic nightmare of paperwork and fees, just to sell your product to the province next to you.
Agreed
THIS. Utterly ridiculous. Especially stuff like beer and wine. Live in Nova Scotia. I would love some BC wine and Nova Scotia wines are some of the best I've tasted. Why the hell not trade ?
@@Syn_Slater provincial government is separate from federal government. if you really feel this way vote in the provincial election and stop wasting people's time who are talking federal politics.
Yes but trump has said if Canada retaliates they will automatically raise the tariffs to 50 percent .. this is scary
I'm an American Republican, but he has a point. We shouldn't treat our ally Canada like that.
Canada needs to reinvent itself and become self-sufficient ‼️
how is that idea working out for the US? No, opening partnerships with europe, south america, countries in asia, africa... that's what would be needed, not isolationism in response to isolationism.
Too little too late, Bozo
@@OGMacGee I’m American and I support isolationism 🇺🇸
I'd agree with that. More interprovincial trade, more value add, and aligning ourselves more with Mexico and Europe
we have been weakened by relying on the US. Stress makes you stronger. This is an opportunity to finally grow.
Canada needs to build refineries so we can buy our own gasoline at a reasonable price. Just by doing that, we would become a lot more independent and free from the US grip.
Should of been done decades ago, Canada can easily be self sustainable and just import produce food from Mexico in winter
Easier said than done
Hippies wont allow it
Takes almost 3 years to build one. They can use military engineers to try and throw something together but unsure if it will be safe.
I've been saying this for a while. Canada has like 12 refineries. States have over 200.
Incentivize Canadian investors to build refineries. This would create massive amounts of jobs. Which would stimulate the economy.
The same goes for lumber, where all of our investors have gone to the states and left Canada behind.
Stop piping Canadian jobs to Americans. Build in Canada for Canadians.
Nice idea, but we have like, 25 people, and 10 of them are retired.
Hear, hear!!!
@danmayberry1185 i thought this was CANada not CAN'Tada. Time to start building and training now so our future generations don't have to rely on any other country's
I like the idea. However, that takes a lot of time, lots of money, and people aren't willing to wait.
Not what conservatives traditionally believe in - they've always been in it for quick profit, shipping our natural resources and energy to other countries so they can sell it back to us. China comes to mind right away when it comes to conservatives, oil and FIPA
I am an American and I hope he does what he says.Canada should do what ever it takes to benefit its people
I agree 👍 Pierre can do it. Trudeau was to stupid to talk with real people. Facts
How is possible for Canadians ok with 21% interprovincial barriers and not ok with 25% Trump tariff? MUST stop all interprovincial barriers before anything else
Canadians are sounding real MehhhGehhhh right now. I thought Maga was racist but seems like they want to make Canada great again.
Lol. THAT is an interesting comment!
Agree. Dump California wine and open it up to other provinces.
Interprovincial trade barriers are not tariffs but are an aggregate of many factors such as lack of regulatory harmonization and import/export restrictions on things like alcohol. Yes we should work to fix this problem, but it's actually laundry list of individual silly problems. One famous example, it's illegal for certain trucks to drive on the road in Alberta during the day, and illegal in BC for them to be on the road at night, with only a one-hour overlap period. This is just two provinces with sensible safety regulations in isolation, but neither wants to be the one to make the change to harmonize with the other. A more complicated problem is straight up protectionism, such as wine producing provinces favouring their own industries and making it harder to buy wine from BC or Ontario in Nova Scotia for example. Hopefully a silver lining of this situation is that we get our act together on this file and have real free movement of goods across this country.
@@alsosean in general, I'm not for dumping wine! 😉
THIS IS A PIVOTAL MOMENT FOR CANADA 🇨🇦
..and they better not let it go to waste. Empty arrogance got us here; hopefully commonsense will see us through to a stronger economy and nation.
My love to canada from us. Don't buy us red state sh*t
@@benhurworld my love to canada from us. Don't buy from us red states.
Steven Harper and Pierre Poilievre were the ones who sold most of our mines, refiniers, and minings to China goverment CCP.
The time is now build the infrastructure.
It is time to save our pennies and buy local only, spend local only. Canada for Canadians! Canada strong and free!
Yall sound like Americans
Seriously! I promise!
We don't have pennies anymore. They took them away remember?'
Litteraly and figuratively!!
As a farmer, the liberal government has us chained to the ground. Some of us sell produce to local vendors during the cold months. But we need heat to keep the plants from freezing. With heat, there is carbon tax. The tax is a massive burden for all. But the liberal government will buy produce from other countries. For other countries to ship their food causes more pollution transporting it to Canada.
We truly live in a world of idiots and charlatans.
Hire local. Canadians WILL do the work for a living wage.
He's making all good points on why we should be together not separate.
after listening to Poilievre for 3 years spread hate and divisiveness across Canada, watching PP follow trump's playbook page by page, I have absolutely No trust in anything he says. Trumps lackeys are endorsing Poilievre, so that also should send shiver's down Canadians backs) PP will do and say anything to become PM and be trumps "White" hand to the north.
Like he sided with the “Trucker Convoy” because our government was trying to save people with a covid vaccine? This guy is an opportunist who never held a job yet wants to come across as a working man. When an ex-Conservative PM publicly called Pierre a “liar”, it speaks volumes. But hey, those were her words, not mine.
being partners with America is be like having a wife that cheats on you. You can never trust the USA. get rid of trump and a new fascist is ready to step in.
Like smith who tried to hide going down to kiss trumps a$$...a conservative like poilievre. Like poilievre who had nothing but praise for trump, who goes on trumps allies shows. Sorry but not sorry, poilievre is a sellout trying to gaslight his previous actions.
If Pierre was PM this would be happening now. Liberals will just let us get screwed over.
My advice to the government is to highlight Canadian products in all grocery shops across Canada using flyers and advertisements. On a daily basis, if we do this, all Canadians can help each other get through this mess by not buying US products.
Well most american food imports seem to be unhealthy junk food anyways. Eu food safety is much better. Asian food is affordable. Why bother buying junk food from america full of oil and unhealthy ingredients? Just my opinion
100% yes
why does this have to take a threat from outside to do, why not before.
Right!
Stop buying America cars 🚗 we definitely win
Rich people getting richer and middle class people struggling even more. Very sad.
I'm genuinely a little concerned the middle class won't even be around in a decade or two.
@@henrywebb3009It’s already fading
There is always a limit of how much pain the poor and the middle class can handle, if nothing is done it can lead to insurrections and revolutions. This is what the rich /elites can never understand - they are sewing the seeds for their own demise. This gave birth to communism and fascism.
@@Chad_Max im 33 i just want to be middle class its a dam struggle im an environmental consultant everything so much
@@Chad_Max The rich is.
The United States didn’t impose a “10% tariff on China”. They already had tariffs on China, they imposed an ADDITIONAL 10% tariff.
Your point? Canada is an ally, China is an adversary. Why impose tarrifs on Canada?
That 25 percent on China was limited to some goods. It wasn't a blanket tariff.
Whoop, there it is.
Donvict is screwing around with the world.
Which US companies will be paying for and American citizens.. who they gonna get all those electrical parts and whitegoods? From India? Mexico? Brazil?
I’m a 22 year old man from Saskatchewan and this might be the best political speech I’ve ever heard. Couldn’t agree more with Mr. Poilievre, we need to unit as a nation and work together to get through this economic downturn. I want to bring up my future kids in a country they can be proud of, and if that means having to slave away my prime years like my forefathers before me, so be it. I believe in our united strength as a nation, and I still believe in Canada.
Perhaps you should listen to others ; this has all been said before.
Canada. You are a sleeping Giant . WAKE UP !!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Our GDP is less than some individual states in the USA. Know when step down from a giant. USA is over 13 times our economic leverage. Our trade ratio leans heavily against our favor. America has ALL of the leverage. How about we listen and work with them? You have been programmed to hate, and have forgotten how leadership should really act.
No we're not. We're a bankrupt banana republic. We have no say in anything. Our government is the most openly corrupt in Canadian history and nobody is held responsible. They violate our Charter rights, openly steal countless millions, and nothing happens.
Sleeping Giant?? Not with this leadership.😂
A big mess.
Amen. The president of Mexico also spoke about standing together against king trumpler.

I am a great-grandmother and daughter of a Veteran. I have been saying for years that our country, as beautiful and big as it is, is very, very vulverable and an easy target for those more powerful. Always made me very sad and anxious. Yes, we do have allies that we RELY on for protecction and YES we have been LUCKY thus far with our alliances with other countries; especially, our American neighbours. But, Canada's sovereignty is now being challenged and we need to take ACTION NOW. Not tomorrow, not the day after ... NOW! We Patriots who LOVE this country need to speak up; stand up and SHOW UP. God bless our great and gentle Canada.
We need more SKILLED people, people who are NOT LAZY! Stop helping people from war-thorn countries for a bit - let their rich brother help them - we can't afford for now, we need to help ourselves first before helping refugees again. If we work together, we'll get over this, quicker!
Then sign this referendum. Conservatives are not trying. Why would they act now to open parliament doors. This could have been avoided….all of it!
God bless from the 🇬🇧
Bingo!
Love Canada with all my heart and never knew how deeply until now that we are being threatened by what we thought was our greatest Ally. 😢 VERY UNBELIEVABLE...but TRUE. 💔
This guy just makes sense.
Canada needs to break away from old ways and build a system where it can stand on its own. 💪🏻
How do you do that with a population of the State of California?
Idk man California is pretty powerful @randomreviews1461
Canada will never ever recover from this!
@@carla.p2795 get back to the table. Stop the retaliatory tariffs and call a freaking election.
I agree. Make Trump happy so he can do something great and for sure we will all benefit from it.
There is nothing more admirable than to put aside political differences and work together for a single purpose!!! Together, we are stronger!!!!
Pierre didn’t say any of this before he saw the positive response Trudeau got.
No PP for me
Yep. This is exactly why evil governments and news media broke this. They want people fighting.
I see so much stupid posts about hate on other races. Different age group hating each other. Different genders hating each other. Different religious hating each other. This much promotion on finding somthing to hate is not an accident. This is the only way people can be controlled. If they are not Together
PP doesn't work with the other parties. its all empty words
PP works for himself and himself only
Time for Canada to become a self sufficient power house. Invest into pipelines and nuclear, up defense spending so we dont rely on our "neighbours".
Get rid of the CBC and put that money back into the pockets of Canadians. (It would help the military too.)
Economically speaking, that is unfortunately not how it works. There’s a reason why every economist thinks that isolationism, protectionism, and “self-sufficiency” isn’t efficient. Especially not in today’s world. Historically, the only people advocating for complete self-sufficiency were FAR right and far left politicians. Free trade is simply a superior policy (economically, but perhaps not politically).
You won't see any of that if we elect Net-Zero Mark Carney. Vote accordingly
Maybe nuclear but Oil isn't the way forward. Trump booklickers like Smith are peddling fantasies to Albertans. Over the next decade or so there is going to be a major downturn of global oil demand as the world pivots to EVs, solar and other non-oil tech.
we already are. what you don't know is "self sufficient power house" is slang for deregulated industry! less taxes to corporations! this is not the way!
Canada is energy self-sufficient because of its diverse energy sources and large landmass. Canada has a variety of renewable resources, including wind, solar, water, biomass, and geothermal energy. Canada is also the third largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world. a simple GOOGLE search proved you wrong... why you not check google?
It's hilarious how many people are cheering for Poilievre but denigrate Trump. They're literally arguing for the same thing. Canada first is just America first for Canadians.
And?
@@VE3LIX it exacerbates the problem. We need strong, smart AND compassionate leadership that will work with our allies, not insult them.
@@brodoswaggins700 Compassion is for those that deserve it. While I know PP is not perfect, ee have needed strong leadership for years. . If JT had been strong throughout his leadership, we would be in a better place. I don't particularly like JT, but he has shown some spine as of late, I will give him that. As for dealing with trump, he knows only one thing; to belittle people. Turn about is fair play. I respect your opinion, even if I don't agree with it. Cheers!
This is a sad. I served with Canadians in Afghanistan. I don’t agree with Trumps move on Canada. Canadians are our Brothers and Sisters. I truly feel that way. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

Half of your country did not vote for Trump. We have to remember that. But unfortunately, u have all been tweaked to this destructive idea that we are free-flowing with fentanyl at our border..giving rise to abusive policies toward us by your government. Do something if you feel so strongly. At what point will you understand that your president needs some checks and balances?
Virtue signal harder no-one cares.
Thank you for having common sense
Canadians for Canadians! Don’t let the Americans divide the provinces.
They have nothing to do with this division in chinada.
You might wanna tell Danielle Smith, and little P.P. that. They seem to think we should hand the keys to the cheeto.
Trudeau already did that to Canadians. You're late to the plate.
Speak for yourself.
I am willing to join America.
The liberals have that market cornered
No matter what political party you are in favor of we have to put our Canadian interests first. If Trump doesn't "need" us I'm pretty sure there are a few other places that do. It's been a long time coming. Unfortunately my job will probably go south over all this. If handled properly future generations can benefit from a stronger Canada. Good luck to all of us.
😂😂😂
Trump saying America doesn't need us doesn't mean it's true.
@@annsumner8570 nice
@skinny1968 Hopefully it’s just all power moves and threats, wish you the best of luck.
Depends context. We shouldn't get into a mindset of "Canada first" like the national sophists like Trump. Self-interest alone is not a moral philosophy. Self-interest is only appropriate when applied in the contest of moral principles which Trump "first' types have none,
This is a good thing for Canadians. Keep your energy. You'll be richer and stronger for it. Make Trump make America use its own reserves. They're not necessarily going to suffer for it. Where's the downside long term?
We want be using any reserves. We are drilling the oil we have.

Canada never has been self reliant, but never worse than the past nine years!
Omg In one sentence you screwed up twice. You should really go back to school.

@ THAT IS WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID DURING HIS CAMPAIGN . HE WANT CANADA TO SECURE THE BORDER to stop illeg buisinesses. HE WANTS GOOD FOR THIS NATIONS BECAUSE HIS HEART IS WITH US TOO.
Americans are responsible for their front door, as we are for ours. His heart is in his wallet. You are delusional if you think he cares about us.

It’s funny to note that Trump actually united Canadians and made us more patriotic! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 His policies may have been aimed elsewhere, but they ended up strengthening our national identity and sense of unity. So, should we thank him? Well, since we usually do… 😆

Trump's plan for America was copied word for word by P.P., even down to the slogan: Make (blank) Great Again. Yes, Trump is a true original, and his plan for America is worth copying by weaker leaders.
Indeed😂 and he's gonna destroy the Republican party too 😁
The same way he intended to ruin Ukranine's president but actually he made him a HERO! United his people and and now Ukraine is bullying the the bully.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. We are rich in resources and able to be self-sufficient. It's time to achieve that. Let's do it!
Natural resources, which are finite. Canada isn't an innovative country - we invent next to nothing, relying, rather, on our natural resources as trade items.
@@wk1810 Harsh. Anything Canada has ever invented, many are used around the world today. IMAX, Insulin, basketball, and even Wonderbra!!
We had invented the most advanced jet fighter back in the 50's, and the USA knew it would make them look weak so they made everything possible to have the project killed. Politics ruin everything.
As a bonus, we invented ketchup chips!!! lol
We cannot build refineries in a week, and fossil fuels are not the future.
Get rid of Trudeau and it WILL happen!
Just respect First Nation's land.
The idea that alberta oil has been refused by ontario/quebec to this point is shameful. Alberta is already powering this country... why not use and move the resources we have here across the country? Its time to unite as a country, embrace our opportunities, develop our own refineries, and connect our resources with other nations across the oceans. The time when we rely on the united states for trade needs to end.
Quebec has water, yes water is a massive natural resource. let’s support that natural resource as well as oil. We need to unite, it’s not time to point fingers within.
They don’t need it. They have hydro.
Yes! I am an American and believe our country can be self sustaining and peaceful as well as Canada❤
Beautiful Canada! Photographing with the Canadians was lots of fun! It’s an amazing country with great people and NICE STRONG HORSES! ❤
But exporting our oil helps with the carbon footprint, doesn’t it.
@@XetaXones you mean like how Albertans wanted to have pipe lines built going east and west to help increase the market Canada has access to?
Or how those pipelines would provide jobs for Canadians as a whole?
Or maybe being in full support of Canadians from out east coming to Alberta to work all sorts of different jobs, not just O&G related ones?
For Canadians to really come together, provinces need to give up their selfish interests to put the whole country get to a more secure economic footing. Prime example is Alberta oil; BC and first nations bands need to drop their opposition to oil pipelines going out to the west coast and Ontario & Quebec need to do the same for an Energy East pipeline. If not there is a risk that Alberta would want out of Canada which would lead to the splintering of Canada as a nation and lead us to be annexed by the US. I know that this does not support moves to counteract climate change but the trade off is that we get to keep our country. In the end, climate change initiatives will not matter if we are annexed by the US.
time for Canadians having their own refineries, stopping exporting cheap and importing expensive oil.
All this should have been in place years ago. It started when manufacturing left Canada. Now it’s a big scramble. All the bright minds in this country, and nobody could see this coming?! All government is a joke!
@@stevenz235 We have our own refineries, western Canada imports ZERO refined crude. It's eastern Canada that refuses pipelines...
@@mikej238 true, but BC's energy needs are met in part through imports, and a significant portion of the gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel consumed in the province comes from outside sources, primarily from refineries in Washington State, USA.
@stevenz235 wrong, very little is imported from Cherry Point. The TMX is a rare " bulk" pipeline. It can transport refined materials. It fills the Kamloops tank farm and provides the Burnaby refinery.
Look at the original TMX, there is actually a trunk line that runs to Cherry Point refinery in Washington. Outside of the lower mainland the rest of the province is fed 100% from Canadian refineries

You seem to have bought into Trump's empty "First" slogans. Self-interest is not a moral philosophy. You are describing extreme nationalism and sophistry neither of which will keep America safe. Actual ,orality arissed when one defines fair principles that one discovers when interests collide.
@@mydogsbutlerIt appears all Canada needs to do is secure their side of the border. That's it. The 1 billion dollar plan to do so by your PM in December is a 6 year plan. Trudeau doesn't take border security seriously, and neither does Poilievre apparently. Does Canada as a whole truly want to have a split with the US over border security? Or is this really a cynical ploy to boost Trudeau or his party in the next election? Either way sad. Poilievre does hit on the emotional truth when he mentions Canadians dying along side Americans. Seems like a betrayal to both of our people. I suppose securing the border is a bridge too far for Canada.
People forget it's not the people against each other it's our greedy governments at war with each other. And Trudeau needs to go away, he is Canada's biggest fraud.

Why not just cut out us red state things
Refine all of our own oil here in Canada and export natural gas, we would be the richest country in the world. Plus it would bring down emissions internationally as China and India would use our green, ethical resources.
Trudeaus dad tried that (NEP) and Alberta told him to freeze in the dark.
Parochial interests over nation building.
Look what Norway did with its oil. Amazing.
Same with lumber we export alot of raw logs. Wood oil gas wheat should be so cheap we way over produce and the only one profiting is big old money investors
Can you explain how refining our own oil and exporting natural gas would bring down global emissions and lead to india and china using green resources? Im genuinely curious because im just not following
environmentalists won't allow it.
@helenc1027 self sufficiency and lower costs are more important than going green. When war time comes all carbon emissions about green go out the tail pipe
We should be the richest nation on earth. Yes, now that you mention it, we Canadians should be able to live off dividends we ought to be paid for our natural resources.
You can thank Mark Carney and the Liberals net zero initiatives for that.
Exactly
Canada will need to secure its border for that to work, but yes!!!
Then Danielle Smith couldn't fill her pockets.
News flash: third world countries sell just their resources, 1st world countries refine them, build machines and technology from them and sell them with a big profit!
If I’m not mistaken the Regina Petroleum Refinery here in Saskatchewan was started back in the 30’s by farmers for farmers. Just like now the Canadian government put tariffs on US gasoline making it darn near impossible for them to buy fuel, so they started making their own. If those boys back in the depression can do it then, we can do it now and get through this recession by making ourselves self sufficient. God bless.

This what exactly why we voted for him. By tariffing the US of your stuff. It’s going to expedite for manufacturers to come back in the US. Because it’s cheaper to make it here, than to buy outside the country. And our government can collect more taxes.

Ive been in canada since 2008. Listening to this makes me teary 😢. I know how great CANADA is .. and citizenS itself was strong. Lets STAND STRONG CANADA.
Please pause political feud in the parliament ASAP. Right now is the critical time that all parties work together.
Work together, they are, they are destroying Canada everyday.
There is no way Trump will engage in any good faith dialogue. Working together presupposes a good faith effort by the parties.
PP just wants to call an election right away. Like Trump he's power hungry.
Agreed, happy to see every Canadian political party having the same sentiment on this.
We need an election now
This was the first time I've personally seen Pollievre come out with a message of unity, and I thought it was excellently said. This is an opportunity for us Canadians to work together again.
Pierre will change his tune tomorrow when he starts attacking again, he loves a Trump style of politics. The PC's have no real policies to do anything for regular Canadians. He will strip our country like Trump has striped America, and sell it to the highest bidder.
Except he chose to lie while doing it, which is sad and pathetic. Kinda took away from the supposed unity
Go pollivere. OUR NEXT PM .
Canada needs to learn to be independant, this is a wake up call i've been waiting for thanks to Trump, too bad our government or any party aren't waking up.
Build your economy, become a business, make good deals, create independency with our own resources, and create a better military.
I agree we have unique opportunities here especially green solution innovation but really trade is needed for all countries, that's healthy and stimulates thw exomomies and helos out and bonds and relationships ect we are social and its nice to send coffee or fruit or meats or amazons or temus products for people its a thing. Trump is kinda aiming to hit himself in the hand with a hammer but he pokes out his eye.
We need to join more with NATO and other commonwealth countries in all of our trading, while trading somewhat with BRICS countries. It’s a delicate balance. We don’t need any more threats from outside.
Make US a smaller customer, while deepening our relationship with other allies.
I’m confused, whose the PM? He’s talking as if he already took the job…. Silver tongue but no essence behind his words… Canada’s trump.
I'm sorry everyone but a massive recession is coming and I don't think we are prepared for it
We really never were prepared when our own governments work against us.
Sadly, I concur.
Yay! Such a better option than fixing border security.
We heard this definitely not going to help us those tariffs.
CALL BACK PARLIAMENT NOW
It’s been a pain avoiding American products but I’m committed. Stand united Canada 🇨🇦
I went grocery shopping the other day and it was actually quite easy to find Canadian made products. I honestly didn’t see very much at all made by the USA
@ glad to hear it. Maybe it was more of a pain as I’m not used to reading the labels to find where it was from. There was some things I usually buy for my children which I was unable to find a non American substitute. I’ll have to do some research and find solutions but it’s worth it.
Even if you buy an American made product that has a tariff on it, the 25% tax goes to the Canadian government, so it's not all bad.
@ true but at this point I’d rather support local business growth and not businesses based in America. Hopefully this trade war doesn’t last too long as It was much more convenient without being attacked by our supposed ally
@Runner44-d3s
No thx. let's give our money to our businesses instead of giving money to American businesses
Quote of the day, “ you buy our oil and gas at massive price discounts, not because we’re nice Canadians, but because, here at home, we’ve made really dumb decisions to prevent us from exporting our energy to any other countries”. Why did that make me laugh 😂 Too much gange smoke in Canada 🍁
Because Poilievre hates himself, hates taxes, and doesn't understand political subtleties. I personally felt insulted by that throwaway remark.
It has nothing to do with nice, We are incredibly stupid. We had pipelines planned to get oil to coasts and across this country so the US could not do what is happening now and it was crushed. Now we are cornered with a collapsing dollar and massive line ups at food banks.
What's throwaway about it? Us older folks have known for decades that we could be a powerhouse country, but our governments have let us down over and over again.
Canada: It could be worse.
USA: It could be better.
Can you comprehend the difference?
@DarrelLaBossiere the point being PP is willing to disparage Canada to everyone because he thinks it will score him political points. He doesn't care if he is basically telling the world we are weak
So generous to the US. Having insane tariffs against American farmers and allowing thousands of foreigners come to Canada and freely illegally walk into the US. 1200 TERRORISTS have been caught in two years crossing from Canada to the US compared to only 205 coming from Mexico!!
Too bad PP DOESN'T SUPPORT the ICC's Arrest Warrants for the ISL PM, and the former Def. Minister for W. Crimes.
Could have been a good leader... Personally, I don't support people who support W. Criminals.
It shouldn't have taken this long and this late in the game to think about becoming self sufficient as a country. Government did a terrible job. But it is better late than never and all Canadians, including myself, should work towards a common vision to make our country great again. With strong will and dedicated effort, anything is possible. I am less worried about Canadian people's willingness to cross this hump and seriously worried about the current state of politics in our country

@@KhotiStaan-z3m yes I do. I remember Pierre Trudeau’s attempt at a National Energy Program which attempted to make Canada energy independent. Only problem was that Alberta has jurisdiction over its oil, not Ottawa. Ended up being a big problem.

How about we bring our Petro Canada 🇨🇦 back, build some more upgraders, refineries and pipelines. Do it for national interests and push it through.
Followed by the next government selling it to the Chinese.
Why? Alberta's good to go.
That's not how we do things. First we use tax dollars to create it, then once it makes money we sell it to private interests to make loads more money to concentrate wealth. Think CN Rail & PetroCanada. The 34 billion dollar Trans Mountain Pipeline will be the next. Private interests will get all that infrastructure for pennies on the dollar.
This was supposed to be done 10 years but but the net zero you know
Where are we going to build these? Your back yard? Sounds good in practice but they create a huge amount of pollution. No one wants them built near them.

@@jakelambert4693Your refineries are made for Canadian oil. You’d need to refit your refineries for the sole use of US oil.

@@autograndeunlimited Trudeau did that when he made pot legal. The illegal guns were what was traded straight across for Canadian weed after those dealers lost their market to the Government. It was a terrible decision to make weed legal since it's illegal in America.
Ask any Drugs and Vice cop.
Fentanyl is much worse. Precursors that are illegal in USA are imported legally into Canada to make the drugs here. They're sold and the profits are washed in our Government casinos, literally they bring in bags of cash, buy chips, play a little, cash out clean. Then, they buy a house or condo with it. It's called the Vancouver Model, it's being exposed now by a few journalists willing to look into it because some politicians are implicated.
What does that implication look like? Ask Chief Bergen of Hamilton Police. They recently had to let a fentanyl player go, big guy too, no small time dealer, because the federal Gov wouldn't authorize the cheque to pay the Crown Attorney contracted to the case.
Chief Bergen is asking for the public to pressure Gov to do the right thing because the criminals that cops bust are being let go in this way.

To do that we would need to tax the wealthy more, something Conservative would never do

Polievre is for tax cuts for the rich... and totally against removing taxes on groceries for everyone else...
To be fair, after purchasing my first home, and now living paycheque to paycheque, I no longer believe there’s a middle class. You’re either in debt or have nothing on your name. Which one is worse?
The eat the rich is a terrible belief. Higher taxation affects the middle tax the most. The wealthy have a multitude of financial vehicles at their disposal. Stop needless government spending, shrink the size of government, reduce income and capital gains tax. Taxation isn’t a solution, it creates more problems.
Increased cost of living in all countries involved. That's what global oligarchy wants.
The "global oligarchy" wants cheap labor from other countries rather than pay for US workers. In the short term yeah this will increase costs, but people adapt and in the longer term this will push companies back to the US.
