Unfortunately due to the trade barriers we have between provinces it's unlikely that it would be replaced by local consumption. In fact even if there were no trade barriers in Canada it would be tough but the way things are there's no chance.

This was something carney talked about during the election and promised he would work on, he held one meeting with the provinces to see about coming to an agreement and then he just abandoned it. If he had spent as much time working with the provinces as he has with other countries we would probably be further ahead

The government has done nothing to move projects forward unfortunately. The closest that come is this supposed pipeline project but they're now talking about using government money which completely defeats the purpose. We can't borrow enough money to support an economy, sooner or later that leads to a collapse

Unless something radically changes in the near future as far as our direction we will face severe economic hardship and it will be extremely difficult to recover. We are not building maybe bill as he promised, we have not eliminated into provincial trade is he suggested, and our businesses are fleeing to the states along with our investment, I think we're into our 6th street quarter of business investment loss in Canada having already completed five? That predates Trump and we can't be losing business investment like that

We're in real trouble. It's not short-term trouble our infrastructure for providing economic growth is eroding at an enormous rate and it is insanely hard to replace that once it's gone

Reading the comments I don't think people understand what's involved here.

The companies are moving to the states because that's where the majority of their customers are. Which means it's not viable for them to stay in Canada and only sell to Canadian markets.

Which means nobody's going to be replacing these businesses. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of jobs that will be lost with no replacement.

The state can't nationalize them, the workers can't take them over, they're just not viable as businesses anymore.

And all those businesses and all the people that work for those businesses pay taxes. Which means we're going to have less and less money to provide services the people who are poor etc

This isn't about giving states our money, this is about us not having any money anymore. I think people need to wake up to the reality of how serious this is

The beings are finite but the wealth is not. I don't know how to explain this more simply. If you fall into the ocean there's only so much water you can drink so your ability is finite but from a practical point of view the water is infant.

This is extremely simple, the point is the limit is the person not the wealth

And no I'm just trying to find a way to explain it to you that will make it easier for you to get your head around. Honestly I've never had this kind of trouble explaining this concept to someone. My mother gets this.

Bottom line is that your lack of wealth is not because somebody else is hoarding wealth.

Yes and no. It is a tool that must be wielded like a scalpel and not a hammer.

If done perfectly right it can be a big benefit. But it is extremely easy to do it wrong. And the problem is even if you set it up right at the beginning it tends to take a life of its own on and go off the rails in a relatively short. Of time.

But in principle I agree with you that there are benefits. Not only does it reduce costs to our universities by providing income but more importantly it can make a lot of foreign nationals very comfortable with the idea of doing business in Canada and allow for connections chips that will further our ability to do business in those countries in the future

But it's just so easy for it to go wrong and when it goes wrong we run into real problems

It wasn't a democracy by the time he started causing trouble. If America stops being a democracy then you can talk about murder. But right now it's still a democracy or at least democracy democratic representation

But like I said the left is all about violence hatred bigotry and the like right now. I know in your mind there's no answer other than I should be allowed to kill orange man because Me no likee.

Will the USA does have a representational democracy. I mean no country has a true democracy and you wouldn't want a true democracy. True democracy is the tyranny of the majority. A true democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

But the very idea of a representational democracy is that you can remove the leader and replace them without the need for violence. I guess some people just really like the idea of killing people they don't like

I assume you're talking to a mirror. Give him hell big guy!😂

I'm Canadian bud, I'm just watching the freak show. I don't even particularly like trump

But once again what you said is radically untrue but you put it forward as the truth and that's what costs the democrats and the left elections. Trump absolutely try to use a legal loophole to take an election away from legitimate winner because he was convinced that there was some species of fraud that he couldn't prove. That is absolutely a thing that happened but trying to say he stole it is a little bit different.

And he did not lead an attempted coup that's just absolutely nonsense.

And as far as kidnapping and killing foreign leaders ago, I will point out that virtually every president in history has done that 😆😆😆 Remember when Obama was doing the victory lapse and the radio circuits and high-fiving everyone because he killed Bin Laden in a country that he had no permission to be in? But you're fine with it then but now we're all supposed to be hugely morally upset because someone you don't like has done the same thing. It's not even the first time the US has killed an Iranian leader but no issue before, now it's the worst thing anybody could possibly do.

If hypocrisy could be used to produce power you sir could end global warming.

Trump won't be staying in for a third term. Everybody knows it he just likes trolling you. But you use it as an excuse to justify your own bad behavior.

The problem is the people leaving are the highly talented and valuable people economically speaking. The people that are staying are the low income low skill people who do not substantially increase our GDP per capita and in fact lower it

This is going to be more and more of a problem.

Sure, then the next time a democrats in we can kill them! Then the next republican! Then the next democrat! And maybe put a bullet in Obama just because! Right? That's how freedom and democracy works

Crap like this and calling everyone a Nazis why you lost the election. The left has become focused on bigotry and hatred and violence. The way you get rid of trump isn't by shooting him it's by becoming normal healthy mentally sound people again and proposing reasonable and intelligent alternatives. Begging for someone to kill the leader of the country who was duly elected is not a sensible or sane alternative
