Summary
Canada is preparing to retaliate against Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which could trigger the largest trade war between the nations in decades.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised counter-tariffs worth $37 billion, with potential for further measures, depending on Trump’s final order.
Canadian officials warn the tariffs could harm both economies, disrupting key sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.
Labor leaders expressed concerns over job losses and urged collaboration. Canada hopes to avoid tariffs by highlighting their mutual economic impact to U.S. lawmakers.
I think you’re right, and all of this is a side effect of mortgage-level paywalling of such education, and subsequent devaluing and even demonizing of it.
Resources like AP textbooks don’t just come up in peoples’ feeds. So they’re probably not even aware of them even if they were interested in the subject. And if they are, they gotta scrounge around eBay or those “library” sites.
Either way, it won’t reach the people who need to hear it most.
YouTube’s gotten really bad with commercial and ideological interests, but I do appreciate some creators out there making an effort to create digestible educational material.
But yes, the cryptobros phenomenon , or “DOGE” just being a re-vomit of failed Reagan/Thatcher-esque grifting policies, it’s all being pitched as something brand new and never done before.
Thanks for highlighting that I should check out 1800’s era “free banking” economics though. I’m really curious. :)
