Cory recommends a response for Canada to the USA’s promised tariffs: break ranks on oppressive IP laws and build a local right-to-repair economy.
Edit: Corrected link. Sorry about that!
Overall good points, but:
GOP complaining about inflation and deficits is them finding something to complain about a strong economy. PP/canada conservatives complaining about carbon tax is supporting Ukrainian nazis while global diesel/home heating fuel refining was at maximum capacity. The Ukrainian support was common to all parties. They had to make up complaints.
Some other things Canada can do is export taxes on resources and energy. The US can’t replace Canada where it is needed in short term.
The big policy change is opening up FDI to China. Can put restrictions on natural resources to also invest in manufacturing using those resources, but treating the US as the only permissible option for investment is bad for Canadian companies and jobs. While Canadians are firmly programed in US foreign policy propaganda, if Trump/US adopts a “coercion until you accept being a territorial posession”, Canada needs to take a friendlier stance towards Russia, North Korea, China, and deprogram itself from US empire bs. It should continue advertising secession and provincehood to US states.
