Editor,
We should have learned during COVID that we are far too dependent on other countries. Now that there is a threat of tariffs from the U.S.A., it is time we became more self-sufficient.
Step 1: Eliminate the provincial trading restrictions.
Step 2: Start investing more in our military.
Step 3: Put pipelines across Canada back on the table.
If we have other trading partners, we are less dependent on the U.S.A. I generally am not in favour of more pipelines; however, desperate times need desperate measures.
For those Canadians who can afford it, we should be buying Canadian. I am not naive enough to think everyone can or will do this; however, every little bit counts.
Personally if I cannot find Canadian-made, I will be looking for some other country besides the U.S.A.
I understand this is hurting the American people, not the government. The American people voted for this president. Until they start complaining I doubt the president cares.
