Canada has sat on the northern border since there was a northern border. Poor management with the USMCA and NAFTA before it has allowed Canada to run a positive trade allowance with us to the point it is now noticeable and objectionable. Those days are over. The rip the USA off world economics are gone.

A good question here. Why do tariffs exist? What would happen is some global leader said “No Mas”, no more tariffs?
I watched a report last night about countries starting to limit American immigration more and more. Canada was number one, others were Mexico, China, Russia and Japan. In between the lines, it was obvious that they are limiting immigration for the same reasons we are in the USA, to stop the erosion of the common cultures and the labor pools. The world is going isolationist and nationalistic as each country is trying to preserve their piece of the pie. Globalism is dying, survival in the future is going to depend on how well countries can corner resource markets. It will get violent too, as nations start to run out of resources.
The Ten Kingdoms that some talk about, may become the future.
Interesting. Definitely a strike for State’s Rights. How would it work, who would be limited and what goods and services would be limited?
Right now, the Congress, per the Constitution, sec 1, has the power to impose tariffs and regulate immigration. As the Congress is worthless for the last 70 years, both powers have been passed to the President by Congressional action. So now the battle rises again.
BTW, the Constitution actually says that these powers are the Central Government’s, and states are not allowed.
Pete way to many Canadians have very shitty attitudes towards Americans and the Government.
It takes a lot to get some of them to admit it as they like to "act" nice and pretend they don't have horrible biases.
I have seen in the last forty years some pretty good back and forth arguments online and actual fist fights at old school big lan parties specifically back when Quake 2 was huge.
The truth is there is very little different than us as far as people go. If anything the Americans I have met exploring the backwoods up here are friendlier than a lot of our own people. How stupid is it to fight with someone who has the same hopes and dreams as we do? I believe we were all put here to try and help one another. If we all took this attitude we would have a much better world. Years ago I met some Russian sailors in Vancouver. They too were a very friendly decent bunch. The point is a country's politics have very little to do with people. Screw the politics and enjoy people's company when you get the opportunity.

We need to limit internal immigration. Every state needs to develop an immigration policy and a trade policy that applies to other states.

States already have discriminatory policies that vary based on the laws of other states.
As a Canadian I think we should ignore it. Hostility will solve nothing. Dialog and reciprocity would probably prevail.

Bravo. Great comment.
