“You don’t help the middle class by making housing more expensive.”
Maybe it hurts a little in the short term, but you DO help the remaining Middle Class from falling into the Poverty Class by making it less desirable to import ‘stuff’ that we in North America should be producing ourselves!
I’m all for figuratively, ‘closing the borders’ as well as physically.
Canada doesn’t want our milk? Well, bite me! Wisconsin doesn’t want your lumber!
I don’t see any middle class housing being built. New homes are outrageous in price and most lack quality even though they look pretty.
On dairy, the PMO noted that the trade balance “heavily favours” the U.S., with Canada importing more than $550 million of dairy products from the U.S. each year, but exporting just over $110 million.
