New free trade deal with the U.S. will see Canada’s duty-free limit raised to $40 from $20
It’s interesting to read CBC articles namely those articles that are written by corporatist sympathizers, I don’t really want to write too much on this topic because in time Canadians will figure this stuff out the hard way. I want to again make my position known that I’m not against tariffs,if given the choice I’d choose higher tariffs over income taxes any day, the problem with Canada is that we have high-income taxes and high tariff or trade barriers and in most provinces we have a high barrier to entry in order for an employer to hire someone because our minimum wages are extremely high. So the cost to do business in Canada is extremely high.
I’ve heard the argument made that because America is such a large country, so Canadians have to protect themselves from exploitation, this is pure nonsense if anything America should be scared that little Canada might exploit them. There have been Canadians who have been exploited by foreign terrorist groups from small countries. People who are coddled, people who were educated by socialists, people who listen to the propaganda of Globalists are usually easily exploitable because they don’t understand economics, they don’t understand that in life when you’re dealing with other people when trading with other people there are only trade-offs.
Trades off don’t mean that in a bartered transaction that there are winners and losers, trade-offs mean that there are both pros and cons to any bartered transaction. The moment any human realizes this, they instantly become more conservative with their thoughts, sure they’ll be some people that will try to control your mind, but if you understand economics you’ll be able to identify their con game immediately.
In the early 20th century a lot of Europeans fell for something called white supremacy, it sounded good and probably even felt good at first until the participants realized that the people in charge had their own motives and their guidelines in which they expected all the whites to adhere too.
The tradeoff in becoming a white supremacists was giving up your freedoms as a human to join the whites. No longer will you live the life you want to live, instead you will live the life the white leaders say is best for you. This is what led to a lot of people abandoning the ideology. Economics, capitalism, free markets destroyed racism, this is not to say that some people don’t prefer to be around people who look like them or share similar cultural beliefs, Canadian Aboriginees, South and East Asians, West and Eastern Europeans, Africans, Oceanic people’s they may prefer to be amongst their own, but not having the ability to mix and mingle or trade with other groups of people, that in itself sounds ridiculous and protectionist.
The Canadian economy is very protectionist and I advise you to read the CBC article below, it’s very deceiving, the undertones of the article if you read it is so corporatist, it’s so pro big government, almost as if there’s no other way to do things. Canada raising the de minimis threshold for duty-free purchases to $150? Well, what about the taxes, why didn’t the writer go in depth about that? I guess the title sounded better right?
New free trade deal with U.S. will see Canada’s duty-free limit raised to $150 from $20
Interesting times ahead.
