A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Whenever Donald Trump decides to reduce or eliminate the importation of a specific product he often cites national security. For example, he claims that if the U.S.A. doesn’t control the steel industry, they won’t be able to manufacture tanks needed to protect the country. The result is tariffs that make Canadian steel too expensive. Let’s apply the same reasoning to our situation in Canada. Trump is forever critical of our supply management system which he says blocks U.S. dairy farmers from selling their products in Canada. Using Trump logic, what could be a greater threat to our national security than losing control of our ability to manage our food supply to U.S. producers?

LOST RESPECT

Mark Carney has done the impossible. Through his daily incompetence while dealing with Trump and his tariffs and his recent statement siding with the terrorists Hamas, Carney has made Justin Trudeau look almost competent and tolerable. What will it take for brain washed Canadian voters to finally realize the dangers to our way of life by continually voting Liberal? Carney is a carbon copy of Trudeau, minus the costumes. As a senior l reminisce of the days when Canada was respected on the world stage.

(Even Trudeau didn’t go as far as Carney has in this proclamation. It’s appalling and should be reversed)

SPEND IT AT HOME

Real Canadians should abhor any Canadian leaving Canada to visit family, friends or just vacation in the good old U.S.A. because of Trump’s tariff increase to 35% against Canada. Give your head a shake people. He hasn’t mentioned us becoming the 51st state but his recent actions push Canada closer to this ultimate end. Spend your Canadian dollars in Canada first and anywhere else on our planet but not in the U.S.A. The good old U.S.A. is just not good anymore.

(So you’re not a “real Canadian” if you go to the US? That logic of yours is nuts)
