Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Brantford most vulnerable to tariffs

- They are attracting an enormous amount of FDI (foreign direct investment) within a host of high-value and high-paying sectors
- Moreover local US firms are onshoring many of their products, in essence de-globalization is growing
- They are already a NET energy exporter (EU depends on their LNG supplies and thus have suffered tremendously due to the Russian sanctions, as Russian pipeline gas is much cheaper)
- Cutting funding of various initiatives that provide zero value to the US taxpayer, in turn exposing fraud at various levels of government

I could go on and on but it is refreshing to see a US president actually care for its own people and do what he feels is in the best interest of their country

We, on the other hand, have a prorogued parliament by a PM who could care less about the average Canadian citizen and an economy within the G20 economy poised for the lowest growth (if at all) over the next 30-50 years

What a shameful decline of a once great nation!

Except that the US is by no means going to do that. They are destroying state capacity at a rapid clip and the current powers are aiming for an impoverished nation of serfs who can't even safely fly in an airplane.
