On much larger scale the tariffs are being used to tax people to pay for the billionaires where that is tax on the majority of the population. The economy in the Us is going down where inflation caused by the tariff madness along with tourist sector is declining where people from other countries are visiting other countries. Some states are asking to allow bourbon, wine and beer to put back on shelves as this causing economic hardship. Absolutely no way as long as this madness as you voted for that. Now the whole world is changing where countries are going to trade by passing the Us completely along with military procurements are going to be with Eu and other countries. In Alberta he walked out while free trade agreements were being signed. He fired the person who kept employment information about unemployment as that spiked. Border Us states are saying we are welcome where we will continue to boycott along many countries are completely boycotting Us products altogether where trade deficient with the Us is getting worse. Telling other countries to increase the cost of prescription drugs as the Us has the most expensive prescription drugs in the world. No way a country is going let people die. Border cities are loosing significant tax revenue where they wonder how they going to fund police, fire and other government agencies. Absolutely no way ever is this country is going to ever be the 51st state where we fought back and continue to fight back until the tariffs are gone once and for all. No country is going to tell our foreign policy or question sovereignty. With all chaos that is happening in the Us no one wants to part of the ICE nonsense. There is due process when someone from the Us visits here where they obey traffic laws and gun control laws. Everyone is treated the same regardless where they came from. DJT signed the free trade deal where it is complete lies about the imbalance along with ripping off the Us. Some doctors from the Us are coming here where there is no nonsense with insurance companies where they are paid where the doctor decides specialist doctors, prescriptions and medical check up procedures. They are sent a cheque twice a month. If you are millionaire here or not well off everyone is covered under universal medical care. In Germany there is public and private insurance where the insurance companies have to pay not excuses. Like all government programs there is always going to be some fraud where the tariffs are the largest tax increase in history. One day this madness is going to come to end where over time the shift is already happening. --216.110.xxx.xxx

Wonder how many of those new companies were owned by drug addicts>? --73.19.xxx.xx

As to the story, I wish they would research the Section 8 programs in my area. There is a lot of fraud going on there, or at least there was when I had anything to do with them. --107.147.xx.xx

If there's a "D" after the name, there's fraud. I stopped reading after "T@mp0n Tim's" name. --64.246.xxx.xx

While the tariffs are causing a major shift in the world economy where Canada made it much easier to trade with many countries where the largest importer of wheat Egypt while buying directly from here. Mexico along many other nations will be trading directly with Canada by passing the Us completely. Today at Costco they had apples from New Zealand. The potatoes are already bought up where other countries. Most of countries pissed off are boycotting Us products where here that is happening as well. Once the energy corridor is built then oil and natural gas can be exported to the EU where the pacific line is already exporting Liquified natural gas. The proposal is use Hudson Bay then build a terminal in Fort Nelson to export along with rare earth minerals. As future spending to bring military up to 2 per cent of GNP the procurement will come from the EU. You go to the store where there is maple leaf which means it is from Canada. Inflation is taking place in the Us as the costs are being passed directly on to consumers. The Us is headed for a recession as tourist industry is declining as people are going to other countries. So a lot of people are being laid off. To make it easier to bring products here there is bureaucracy where it goes both ways. You have to have fruit and vegetables on the shelves so they do not spoil. For Mexico, Central and South America a ship can dock in Vancouver British Columbia. I went to buy beer at LCBO store where not even one product from Us was sold taken off the shelves. Everything was marked from country of origin. In a economy you compete in the world for the best quality and price through technology and innovation. Tariffs support inefficient production and innovation. Short term they work where long as a economy goes downhill. I see a end to this as many people who struggling will spend less. Where vacations and other non essential items are out. In Canada we have government housing where the administration the people make $200,000 per year where a private landlord does not. They do not look at being more efficient where a lot them take kick backs where the products they are buying are poor quality. In the private sector is a CEO screwed up he or she would be shown the door. --216.110.xxx.xxx
