I remember Toronto in the 90s, it was thriving and good.

in 2025 it's a piss hobo street entirely.


How the hell can you advocate for the status quo for canada?


I don't personally like Toronto and would never visit. Unfortunately it still remains an epicentre for certain things. But I cant stand any place that's more than a few thousand people these days so my opinion on what's "nice" isn't worth much.

Yes? I guess? Obviously real-estate is but everything where I reside is ultra expensive, 25 for a jug of juice, 15 for 1kg rice, 44 for 5 chicken breasts, etc. so when I go south to Toronto or Edmonton everything feels incredibly cheap.

But obviously I recognize Canadians are struggling financially but the average credit card debt for a Canadian is lower than the average credit card debit for a person the USA.

I'd say the average Joe americans are struggling just as much.

Same thing happened when trump dropped his, Trump postures, Canada postures, Trump delays his again, Canada didnt back off, Trump postures.

Just a bunch of fat dickheads with hypertension going tit for tat while your average joe gets the short straw.

LMAO, Trump was just going to, or may still E.O. away EPA capacity limits on Coal and Natural Gas power plants.
Ontario was faced with instead of collecting a sweet 25% surcharge on electricity, losing its customer base over the border for good.
I say he still should.

Agreed

Should also consider the mineral interests Canada has in Iron Range, Boundary Waters, UP, etc that are in the jurisdiction of targeted States.

tariffs are primarily a negotiation tactic. fact that its not working shows that our trade partners aren't willing to negotiate.

Who are those exactly? Where did this even come from??

Any way to answer the question to the OP. It's pretty simple why Canada and Mexico are targeted with higher tariffs. They have less economic power and we have less reliance on their trade. Not to underestimate the important of the corporation between the American nations but China has the means to fuck up more industries than the other two do. Trump knows this.
