You kind of have been for quite a while, this is just the first time the damage has been big and close enough for the rubble to fall back on yourselves.

Regardless of whether I can afford to make those choices, I'm not even given the opportunity to choose as I rent. My landlord isn't the one who will save on utilities or save money by having an EV. You could argue I could move to a more efficient rental, but prices have gone up so much since I moved here I could save 100% of all my energy costs and I'd still end up paying more.
So I agree in that the carbon tax can't change my usage, it only makes things less affordable.
Give them the extra profit if we have to. The rest of us are all willing to make sacrifices, sometimes it's easier to give the baby a soother than listen to their incessant whining.
Oh nice, a 110% tariff on China would at least partially cancel out the Canadian and Mexican tariffs while mainly screwing over his own country. I'm all for it!
Exactly, clearly they'll still pay for it if it's important enough to exempt. In Canada's case we could give Alberta the extra revenue just so they won't get too cranky.
If they exempt oil we definitely need to slap a 25% export tax on it. Give the revenue to Alberta if that's what it takes. Get Mexico on board too.
That's fair, I suppose as someone not familiar with either it's easy to confuse offsite with remote work.
I'd argue some managers shouldn't be able to work 100% remotely. At least in sectors where the people they're managing can't. I work in a job that has to be on location (not an office). On the one hand I don't want them on location because they just get In the way, but on the other hand they're so out of touch with reality because they don't ever talk to us or our customers.
Even if the conditions were harsh, the anchor shouldn't fall on its own. That far offshore it would've been secured.
I'm admittedly not a genius when it comes to foreign exchange/international currency dynamics, but unless the Yuan became the reserve currency I think it would be a positive change for most of the world.
If every country could come up with a way to personally annoy him (refuse to give away their largest territory, build taller buildings all around his hotels, call him a silly name, etc.) all the tariffs would essentially cancel each other out. If everything's tariffed, nothing's tariffed.
We need at least a 25% export tax on all energy exports. Clearly they need it or it wouldn't have set a lower rate. 100% of proceeds can go towards building our own refineries to reduce reliance on the US in the future, in Alberta if that will be what it takes to stop their whining.
