A trade war between China and Canada, would bring manufacturing jobs back to Canada and debunk Leftist ideology – June 29, 2019,
When I think of trade war between China and Canada a smile comes over my face, now the article you can find a link to at the bottom of this post points to Canadian industries dependent on Chinese dollars, but for myself what I look at is Canada’s unnecessary dependence on China. The Global Green movements that we all know is sponsored by the Communists and totalitarians of the world is being used to strip the western world from manufacturing things. In Germany the mere thought of CLEAN Nuclear Power scares the crap out of many Germans, the people of Germany would rather have the dirtiest brown coal rather than having clean Nuclear Power Plants and this of course is why Russia natural gas is a necessity not only in Germany but in places like Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea revolved around Ukraine’s dependence on Russian gas.
The Green movements in case you haven’t been paying attention are typically supported by socialists, now the goal of every socialist is to transition from a Free enterprise system into a centrally planned economy, that allows elements of a free market to operate to finance the State. This is essentially Communism, socialism is nothing more than gradual communism. Cuba didn’t start off as Communist, under Castro it was initially labeled socialist, what turned Cuba into a Communist dictatorship was that Fidel Castro’s regime began nationalizing private companies too quickly, which obviously caused the United States to put a blockade on them and also equated to private investment fleeing the country. Nationalizing private property is the equivalent to a police officer walking into your house and saying your house and everything in it now belongs to the Federal Government of Canada.
If this ever happened you would have course look to get the hell out of Canada, because a county that doesn’t respect Property rights is a country most people will run from, if… somewhere else offers more freedom. Now, the goal of the globalists is to strip all countries of their property rights, the globalist tool of choice is regressive taxation, why? Regressive taxes force humans to pay the owners of industry money to survive, now if these globalists/collectivists/Communists have merged with World leaders, these collectivists can create things like Carbon Taxes, that will force you from cradle to grave to finance these Oligarchs with no opportunity to challenge their authority, because in order to challenge them as is the case in Canada, you first have to challenge your government and potentially your democracy and if a large chunk of the population has bought into this carbon tax scam, you as an individual will be met by fierce opposition, by people who believe that they’re serving a greater good.
In Canada, we’ve become dependent on China, beginning with this idea that Canadian culture is threatened by Capitalism. Early today I read what I consider to be a hilarious article titled Netflix is no cultural imperialist — it’s helping to save Canadian TV, written by David Olive of thestar.com. Living in my Free enterprise bubble, I often forget the thinking behind Leftist ideology, I forget that they’re of the belief that Canadians, namely old stock Canadians won’t preserve their heritage. Canadians are a very proud people and the reality is that if many of us weren’t being so overly taxed as well as being force-fed immigration numbers we don’t want, we’d probably do a lot more preserving of our culture without the being forced to pay to subsidize Canadian television.
Why do Canadians buy items made in China? Because we as Canadians made the decision that Labor unions and Government should merge as one unit. Labor unions for the up the price of labor, minimum wages destroy your tariff system and a big government that’s financed by inflated wages and sales taxes in particular sectors help to create more financial based laws that give China the chance to sell items to us at inflated prices, because our entire economy has prices so inflated that manufacturing most things in Canada would force the average Canadian manufacturing business into bankruptcy. This happens primarily because the Free market capitalism is actually more welcomed in China than it is in Canada.
China subsidizes its companies, but as an example, the Chinese minimum wages work like Shanghai’s minimum wage is US$358 Per month! Not per hour! Canada’s lowest minimum wage currently is $10.96 per hour, can you comprehend the difference? China has a standard working hours system, 40-hour work week — 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, similar to Canada. But you see in China their laws favor the productive class, whereas in Canada our laws favor the unproductive, an employer in China can plan ahead how much money he or she will spend on employment in Canada, welfare pays a large role on what happens to the income of the productive.
Now, obviously Canada has a higher standard of living than China, but the real question you ask when reading the article below is why Canada is more dependent on China than China is dependent on us? We have a stronger dollar, we should have the superior technology, our citizens enjoy more freedoms and we have the ability to manufacture anything as well as attract capital to manufacture anything China imports to us, the real question is why don’t we? Te answer is our welfare state, Government workers don’t work for free, I mentioned China’s monthly minimum wage because people on Welfare in Canada make more money than people in China working 40 hours per week. If a Canadian on welfare made $358USD Per month, they couldn’t survive, why? It’s because our cost of living is too high, why is the cost of living high? Because spending money on the public sector jobs and social justice warrior programs are expensive, humans have to enforce these laws and tax collectors in Canada have to take from the productive to give to the unproductive in society.
Now, if able-bodied people had to do their fair share in Canadian society, if able-bodied people in Canada were paying income taxes, if able-bodied people in Canada weren’t having multiple Children they can’t afford, if able-bodied people weren’t living off of the government dole, if the government would stop importing more people who are sucking taxes dollars dry, if a lot of these protectionist laws we label a threat to Canadian culture, weren’t creating supply management systems that inflate, inflated prices, our reliance on China would be a big fat ZERO.
I wish China would start a trade war with us, Good luck keeping the socialist British Columbian economy afloat, if those Chinese dollars are banned from Canada. Good luck Canadians, because most of your consumer goods are now made in China, because making things in Canada is too expensive and the labor unions in Canada have made a decision that if employers can’t pay a wage determined by the Unions, then that employer shouldn’t exist in Canada, making matters worse, Canada signed onto the Paris agreement, making energy more expensive, Trudeau has already enacted Carbon taxes. I’m disgusted by how reliant we are on China, but hey, if my fellow countrymen don’t seem to care, there’s nothing I can do. But if China does to us what they did Norway, well hey, sometimes people have to learn things the hard way.
A trade war between China and Canada, would bring manufacturing jobs back to Canada and debunk Leftist ideology? or maybe it won’t
Interesting times ahead
