A Canadian Pragmatic Approach to Managing Trumpism Economic Pressures

"When goods do not cross borders, soldiers will." Frédéric Bastiat

"We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war — apparently to protect some special interest — and who expect our trading partners not to retaliate." - Ronald Reagan

"We cannot turn back. We cannot close ourselves off from the world. That’s not the way the world works. Our future lies in open economies and open trade." - Barack Obama

"Tariffs are simply taxes on consumers, and their burden falls most heavily on those who can least afford it." - Thomas Sowell

A conscious move towards protecting Canadians economic prosperity and laying the foundation for a healthy recovery.

Being someone who has to manage the knobs of national strength, you understand reducing tariffs on American imports is not merely an economic action, but a strategic one to be able to maintain inflation in check and resume stability. You chose to reduce the cost burden on Canadian businesses and families, knowing that unchecked prices can strip away confidence as well as chip away at the people's trust.

In this move, you supported a modest but vital economic turnaround, halting more damage while announcing, you won't let the health of your people be dictated by trade tensions.

Analysts at Oxford Economics backed your move, illustrating how the elimination of such tariffs minimized inflation risks and improved Canada's prospects as a whole.

Your leadership rested on the protection of the country's core interests. You utilized government spending to shelter the economy, funding infrastructure and housing so that growth is internally generated.

With domestic concentration, you excluded dependence and strengthened Canada's long-term potential. Above all, you prioritized the trading relationship with the United States, Canada's largest purchaser, because you understand that true power is founded upon stability, vision, and protecting your nation's future. To say the least, Canadians are extremely well educated and Street smart, and very collective/community mindset.
