Tit for Ta-riff

Canadians have started to boycott U.S. goods. Nobody said the Canadians were smart, now did they? What’s the guff on this issue anyhow? Do Canadians put a tariff on US Dairy? Well if they do then it is Canadians who are paying that extra 270% and they should be pissed also!

Oh, but the Canadian dairy workers, the poor uncompetitive Canadian dairy workers.

Tariff, Schmariff

Tariffs do not matter, deficits do. Currently it appears that the US has an $18 billion trade deficit with Canada. Why would it matter what tariff any country puts on any product from any country if there were no deficit among those countries? It wouldn’t. So why does this matter to Trump that a 270% tariff is on dairy products? It doesn’t. He is upset over the deficit. He does not want a deficit with any country. Which country wants a deficit with another country? There are no countries that want a deficit with another country.

Lefties like Kind and Nice -- Screw Facts

Why does Canada think it is OK that the US has a deficit with Canada? Because Canada has a victim mentality and is for the most part leftist and thinks in lines of kindness instead of rightness. What is right and fair is that there is no deficit. Why is there a deficit? Because Canada does not have a huge economy and the US does and Canada thinks that the US can afford to have our trade agreements a little lopsided. After all, shouldn’t your neighbor be nice and kind?

Nice and kind is a state one degree beyond what is right. For instance, what is right is no deficit, what is kind is allowing a deficit to help Canada a bit. However, let’s take a closer look at the situation.

10-to-1

The US has suggested it might put tariffs on steel and aluminum products from Canada. Canada has issued that it will retaliate dollar for dollar. This is fair, right? Well if it is, then I like these types of deals. The US has the largest economy on earth. Canada’s economy is 17^th and the American Economy is approximately 10 times larger than Canada’s. The American population is approximately 10 times larger than Canada’s as well. If PM Trudeau wanted to ‘retaliate’ then why would he not make it 10 dollars per 1 dollar. After all, one dollar in the American economy is the equivalent to 10 in the Canadian economy. For every 1 Canadian dollar there are 10 American dollars and if you wanted the impact upon both nations to be equal it would need to be 10 times that of which strife is imposed upon Canada to affect the US in a similar fashion.

Rose-Colored Glasses

Realistically, if you look at the trade deal now from this perspective, even if there was neither a surplus nor a deficit, Canada, with its 1/10 the size of economy and its 1/10 the size of population is receiving the better end of the deal and is benefiting to a higher degree. It might sound somewhat condescending, but Canada should be grateful to be able to even participate in this kind of deal, having one of the best, largest and most active shoppers next door. This gratefulness does not even take into consideration the security Canada receives having the US next door. This gratefulness does not even consider the military budgets Canada does not have to implement as they enjoy special protection status via proximity.

Shooting One's Foot

Canada has only one bordering country. Trade with any other country is going to add a substantial transportation cost onto is products’ price tags. America has the world knocking at its door wanting to do business with the biggest, best, most active shopper with the deepest pockets in the world. It does not really need Canada. With that said, Canada offers great value and products to the US, including extremely important products which the US requires. Indeed, trade between the two countries is symbiotic with both countries benefiting. Canada should hold its head high as it competes with and for the best market in the world. So why all the cry-baby limp-wrist antics of PM Trudeau? One of the exceptionally strong aspects of this relationship between the US and Canada is that both countries genuinely like and enjoy each other. President Trump, although you wouldn’t know it from lame stream media, is not a bully and I am sure that if PM Trudeau was to enter serious, honest talks with the President, that Canada would end up once again with the better end of the deal. That yes, the US would be kind to Canada and give it a bit more and hope and help it get on its feet stronger for a better and brighter future.

Oops There Goes Another one

So now, if Canada does not piss off the US too much more, they might still be able to hope for a fair deal. Unfortunately, PM Trudeau is a feminist PM in a feminist country that leans lopsidedly to the left. Canada only knows the PC culture of nice and kind and does not understand fair and right. Feminists are not fair or right. It is no wonder that Canada has consistently trended as the number 1 region on earth for MGTOW for years now (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=MGTOW) PM Trudeau’s antics are what he needs to do to appease the feminist, leftist, simps, knights and jina’s. however, I think he is inadvertently red-pilling folks by the thousands but the truth and facts particularly regarding trade is something that seems to only be seen through rose-colored glasses.
