The Canadian government didn’t really have any choice.

 

Mark Carney had to walk away from the trade talks with the US government. How can you negotiate with a criminal class of thugs who have taken over complete control of the US? Canada will now face 50 per cent tariffs on over $20 billion in goods. Prime Minister Carney is preparing his tariffs on $20 billion of US goods. What does this all mean? Everyone will be facing much uncertainty.

 

Prices will increase for everyone on both sides of the border. It won’t affect the billionaire class running the US. For to long we’ve been electing a political class of people who have been bought and paid by lobbyist and worship the billionaires and oligarchs. This is a clear case of class warfare.

 

Since Ronald Reagan the US government has cut taxes for the rich. The result is massive poverty, homelessness and a huge drug problem. Most people in the US are going bankrupt because of a predatory health care system.

 

The problem isn’t only in the US. Did you ever notice how during all the elections the most important issue for Canadians is health care and education? And have you ever noticed how every government continues to cut health care and education while handing out massive tax breaks to the oil industry while allowing a monopolistic banking industry to amass huge profits by creating a real estate bubble?

 

We all want and need health care yet every political party has demonstrated for many decades that they are committed to gutting those social programs.
