But we give that shit away for peanuts. LITERAL peanuts. I see exports and imports all day long, that's my job. All I see is the declared value of our resources going out at like 1-2 dollars per TON while we import shit that are few hundred dollars per lb.
We are squandering this wealth. We should be charging all these fuckers an arm and a leg for our materials because in reality go get it from somewhere else then. you literally cant. this is especially true for the US. The fact that they got us by the balls and not reverse makes no sense when they are heavily dependent on Canadian resources for their standard of living.
Fuck this bullshit. MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN!
MACA!
and if your first nations and your crying about your land, fuck you. you should have killed more whiteys 200 years ago okay. that ship's sailed. all your treaties are horseshit, you are Canadian now just like the rest of us. you shouldn't get any special treatment anymore just like hondaracer shouldn't have to apologize for his ancestors and what they did 200 years ago.

This has always been the problem. We studied this shit in high school social studies decades ago. I've never understood why we sell our resources for pennies and buy them back as finished products for exponentially more. We just don't put any effort into manufacturing for some reason. Nestle has been taking advantage of our water supply for how many decades now? Simple shit like this hasn't been corrected and likely never will be until some significant changes are made. Who knows, maybe trade war is the catalyst. I highly suspect Canadian politicians won't have the back bone for it though.
