Suggestion from across the river. The Detroit River.

  1. Canada should import goods from China without limits or taxes. Canada’s cost of living will go down as the Americans learn how stupid tariffs are.
  2. If solar electric power is cheaper than other sources, buy as much cheap solar as the Chinese will send you. Try to reduce your electric costs. Export your hydro power to the US at high rates.
  3. There are cheap electric cars coming from China. Allow them in your market and benefit from low cost environmentally friendly transportation.
  4. If anyone threatens your sovereignty, put a warrant out for their arrest the minute they arrive in Canada, even if they are a government official. Its your sovereignty, gloves off.

    To point 2 - you are aware that Canada is like 90% rivers right? I can’t go moose spotting without tripping over one of the damn things. We got hydro for days and probably need to up our nuclear power capacity since we’ve got a huge reserve of fissile materials.

    To point 4 - that’s why bibi stopped by the US and not Canada - we’ve signaled that we’ll honor the ICC ruling. If Trump or Jr did another trip to Vancouver I’m sure the secret service would be quite occupied with random drones. The relationship has soured - they’re not going to personally come up here because it’d be a security nightmare.

      Only buy solar if it is cheaper or cleaner than what you have now.
