Wrong direction, Carney.

Increase the tariffs.

Cut off the flow of raw materials (including water and oil).

Cut off the flow of electricity.

    We don’t need to tax ourselves. The boycott is working. Let people who can’t afford much have cheaper groceries. Even if it means they buy US products. Let’s keep boycotting. It’s putting a lot more pressure on the USA than any tariffs here would.

    It would be far better for Canada to completely sever all economic and military ties with the USA. If people don't have enough to live, the solution to that is to give them enough to live off of, not kowtow to that fatuous bald-headed jackass Down South.

    Build up ties with Europe. With South America. With Asia. With Africa. And cut the USA out of our lives entirely.

    You mean exactly what Carney is doing at this very moment?

    You literally took five words here. Ignoring 46 words prior to it and 16 words after it.

    Bravo. Your proof-texting skills are off the charts!

    I'm too lazy to find it so you can just imagine that Joker slow clap meme here, OK?
