Canada is NOT in a Trade War will Trump’s America. Instead, we are facing trade adjustments that are perfectly legal and and designed to correct a serious balance of trade problems affecting Americans
IMO the tariffs are a tool used by Trump to undo the “free trade” boondoggle that shipped all manufacturing to countries employing near slave labour.
When I first came to Lindsay in the early 70’s there were 7 factories in town and an abundance of work. Nothing like that now !
The systems in use are made by the globalist rich for themselves. Trump is exposing and breaking these systems.
Manufacturing via industry is just the starting point. Watch the stock market dance as Trump manipulates trade with other countries. This is a necessary process ! As is turfing the Liberals.
I just wish I was not legally PROHIBITED from purchasing timely care in Canada instead if waiting on a waiting list. My DOG is better served in this country. And yes, there IS a way to solve this problem. Step 1 would be to stop the unions from controlling health care.
In a discussion with some friends last night, the issue of Canadians that migrate to the US, particularly in the medical field, after receiving an education subsidized by Canadian taxpayers arose. Since at least the 1990s, young Canadian doctors and nurses have been lured by higher salaries in the US.
Likewise, as an alumni of the University of Waterloo, I recall reading about 20 years ago how UW computer science grads were dominant at Microsoft's US headquarters.
This topic was further explored in a conversation a couple of weeks ago between Dr Jordan Peterson and Jim Balsillie, former CEO at Research In Motion. The nub of the podcast conversation was Canada's poor management of intellectual property and talent, and how that has benefited the US and its corporations, particularly in the tech sector.
My eldest daughter, Paris, graduated from the School of Pharmacy at U of T and moved to the USA promptly after graduation about 14 years ago. Today, she is the lead Infectious Disease Phatmacist in the top regional children’s hospital located in southern Ohio. She own her own home on an acre of land, earns about USD 120,000 and couldn’t be happier.
My youngest daughter works at a professional ward Dietician at one of Canada’s top hospitals and is miserable- hate the bureaucratic burden and associated politics found in most Canadian hospitals.
Neither is ideal, but Paris has it “made in the shade” at age 39.
None of our group are directly employed in the medical field, but rely on anecdotal info from acquaintances that are. Part of our discussion did touch on the paperwork that we understand is part of the OHIP billing process that our doctors must contend with.
My own GP is from the US. She has perspective from both sides and acknowledges that there are strengths and weaknesses to both systems.
