What’s to think about? Place export premiums on lumber and other stuff we’re abundant in that they need. Does BC not have a plan? Trump has been threatening this shit for two months already ffs.
Absolutely, matching export taxes, try that for a week or two, then start randomly stopping exports like oil, nat gas, electricity. It’ll hurt in the short term but the Donvict will be worse if we don’t stand up.
And every premier and the PM need a real plan to ensure Canada is more self sufficient and we find new trading partners, not the same as before, we will diversify and then we don’t.
I know oil and gas are not well liked, but we still need them for a bit, so start finding new places to sell and use some of that money to transition away to greener options such as nuclear, molten salt reactors, wind and solar.
Doubt it happens though because big business will whine and scream that short term profits are going to be hurt.
Also fix the ability to build projects faster, invest in our infrastructure, health care and education systems for Canadians.
The one thing I will give the Donvict credit for is America first, every leader of every country should put their citizens first, then we help others. And I don’t just mean the status quo big business that our monopoly system likes.
