This also provides room for further escalation. You don’t want to play every card at once just cause it makes a big splash.

American GDP per capita: $85,000

Canadian GDP per capita: $55,000

American Natural Resources per capita: $150,000

Canadian Natural Resources per capita: $1.1 million

And America thinks that they have been getting taken advantage of?

Quite frankly it’s about damn time that Canada started moving more high value processing in-house. America has been treating us as a resource colony to siphon wealth from forever.

Time to sign trade deals with absolutely everyone else who will sign them and see how America likes it when their cheap resources start flowing elsewhere. They can fuck right off if they think they’ll win a trade war.
