Canada will keep in place its retaliatory tariffs against US-made products as long as President Donald Trump persists with a trade war, said Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister-designate.
As a Canadian, we’ve had the attitude for awhile “at least we’re not as bad as the USA” but we’ve definitely drifted from the EU way of doing things. I’ve always felt like a hybrid between the two (with leanings more to eu).
I wish as Canadians, instead of looking over the fence and patting ourselves on the back for not being the USA, we’d look over the fence and try to see what we can do to improve more (because why reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to).
I was so annoyed in 2012 when we were protesting the tuition fee hike in Québec that people were pointing to other provinces or the US for their higher tuition fees, instead of, like, North European countries, and many others, where it’s free.
