Start the count down to the end of Confederation. End of Free Trade coupled with the effects of an onerous tax on everything know as Carbon Tax. Federal revenue is going to drop like a stone. The Federal welfare for provinces will collapse. The only questions in the years following are how long before the West succeeds and whether Ontario want to down with the confederation or go with a

free market western Canada. Is it any coincidence that almost all the protected industries are centred for the most part east of Ontario. Industries most headquartered in Toronto and Montreal. Is it any coincidence that one province accounts for more than half of the Federal subsidies for business. Baby Doc Trudeau is playing to his base, the Ontario civil service urban elites in the 416 Metro Toronto, Ottawa inside the Greenbelt with all the takers in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. And these clowns that voted for him and his brand of social justice (suicide) don’t understand that 38% of our GDP generated from exports to the U.S. For the Yanks exports to Canada account for 6% of their GDP . As Dr. Lee pointed out, in a trade war we will me crushed. Delicious is the irony that Mr.Trump is about to deliver on Jean Crouton’s Red Book promise and scrap free trade. P.S. Where is Andrew Shill, oh kicking out of shadow cabinet one Maxime Bernier, the only MP in the Commons who seems to get what is actually in play economically for all Canadians. Dr. Lee points to Harpo, Mulgoon, Crouton etc as possible saviors. But they are all part of the same political class that gave use Free trade Canadian style. That it is only for the middlemen, and not the masses. Sorry Dr. Lee, you’re a great economist, but I don’t hold out much hope of any them making things better for average people. Subsidies and quotas that increased prices got worse. Apart from the end of the Wheat Board, nothing changed. They didn’t anything when they were power. They couldn’t even get free trade inside Canada. Now that being said everyone go back to being a good Canadian peasant by paying more for everything (telecommunications, food, gas, financial services) and accept less choice because we as Ezra call them “The Fancy People” say it is so.

P.S. To all who think we have free trade, why am I as a consumer forced to pay for TV channels I don’t want in the name of Canadian culture. Why can’t I buy what I want from the US (Net Flix) or why I can’t I watch or read what I want tariff free in this supposed free country. Oh wait we have to protect all the urbanites in the cultural welfare industry, especially Rogers You in Toronto and Hell Teleglobe Media in Montreal and Hellus and PShaw in Vancouver. Producing heavily subsidized magazines, t.v. and movies nobody wants. Why do Canadian Banks through their U.S. operations sell their American customers loans along with 25 and 30 year fixed rate mortgages at lower rates than their Canadian customers. And yet American banks and insurance companies are barred from sell those products directly to Canadians. A barrier that to limits competition is as bad as tariff for Canadian consumers.

Doesn’t exactly sound fair or free trade does it. When did paying too much and having less choice become the definition of being a Canadian Patriot?
