Does This Explain Trump's Tarrifs?
I think it does.
Unless you trust all the other countries in the world, and unimpeded international shipping ,maintaining your own manufacturing base is important for national security.
Not only manufacturing, but food production and mineral production are equally important when there's a possibility of disruption of supplies from outside your own country.
( I've thought that this might be a partial justification for Canada's supply management system but I'm not sure that it is working as intended and has not just become an expensive boondoggle when the biggest asset to produce is quota and the cost of financing quota inflates the costs of the products.)\
One more thing. Canada's reaction to Trump's gambit was exactly the worst possible thing our governments could have done. Canada shares a border with United States and is a logical supplier that should be able to be trusted but our governments' reactions when tested were not to prove we can be trusted but to show that we cannot be and when showing respect was the smart thing to do, Canada showed disrespect and continues to do so.
The one exception was Danielle Smith who went down and met personally with Trump and indicated a willingness meet Trump's demands to the extent that they were reasonable and indicted a willingness to listen and negotiate. She immediately increased the border security in Alberta and indicated respect for our American neighbor.
Not sure where this came from but love it!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Feminism is in an unending war against men, families and civilisation. It is undermining our society, destroying relationships between men and women, making both males and females unhappy - and it is destroying our institutions.
So says Prof. Janice Fiamengo, a retired professor from the University of Ottawa, a former feminist and the author of the new book "The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War Against Men, Families and Civilization Itself"
Alberta’s future belongs to Albertans—not Ottawa.
That’s Maxime Bernier’s message on his Alberta tour. He’s calling for radical decentralization: getting Ottawa out of provincial affairs and putting decisions back in the hands of the provinces — and closer to the people who live with the consequences.
MAX’S MESSAGE: OTTAWA, GET OUT OF PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS.
Tonight, Max makes his case live from Calgary, joined by Isaias Nolasco of New Generation PPC, Nadine Wellwood Autor of Alberta Rising, and Madison and MayCee Holmes, co-hosts of At Home with Holmes.
