The head of Ottawa-based Shopify says it is “simply the wrong choice” for the federal government to impose counter tariffs on U.S. items, as a trade war begins between Canada and the United States.
In case you weren’t aware of where Tobias (Tobi) Lutke’s views lay.
These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source.”
They are 100% “crazy demands” in that a fake national emergency is declared in order to rip up trade agreements. The amounts of drugs from Canada are extremely small, and more illegal immigrants enter Canada from US rather than other way around. If Fentanyl is a problem, the US can do a lot more to curb US production, and hospital use. Another approach would be to simply eliminate heroin, since all deaths occur as a result of mistaken contamination/substitute of heroin, and fentanyl is “cheaper per dose” as reason for hospital use. Making opiate pills “highly available” would also remove fear/events of overdoses.
A fake national emergency, with other pretexts for tariffs. “small trade imbalance, and opportunity to extort Canada by destroying its economy” makes it a declaration of war. That Shopify would have more sales if Canada just surrendered, is an overly selfish perspective to say out loud, and in my opinion, treason for both him, and media that doesn’t shout it down as treason, instead of being CIA funded mind control of Canada as a US colony.
The “crazy demands” disqualifies the US from being a trusted military partner. Canada needs to stop adopting US enemies as its own, and instead realize that the US is its enemy, and it needs new friends that are powerful enough to stand up to US.
