Can you believe the stupidity?

He's also claiming Canada is our "worst trading partner" despite it being the second largest, saying "they've been ripping us off for decades" despite being the one who negotiated the most recent trade deal.

And the Canadians are laughing at him, Loudly.

Second-largest ≠ "best".

Does
most recent" erase the past decades?

America is over.....the smart move.....and yes it will be a lot of work because of how close Canada has been to America....the best move would be to pivot to Asia.

I highly doubt they will.....I am seeing claims that they are pivoting to Europe....which would be moronic.

I know a lot more about Canada than I would have without Jordan Peterson and Gad Saad.....Peterson especially has spent a lot of time talking about the problems of Canada.....then he left....his kids as well I think.

Gad Saad has seriously considered leaving.
 
The US has a trade surplus with Canada in all areas outside Energy (hydro and oil), so by Trumps own logic the US has been taking advantage of Canada for decades in those areas.

When it comes to energy the US wants and needs the energy to keep prices lower in the USA, so much so that Trump is pushing now and in his last term to get even more thru KeyStone pipeline and other big projects he is pushing.

If Trump really wanted to end the trade surplus Canada has in areas of energy as he saw it as bad, the US could simply stop buying it or have the Canadians put big tariffs on it to lower US demand.

He won't do that as he knows how much the US benefits from it.

Is that so?

Gad Saad announced in May 2026 (on Joe Rogan’s podcast) that he was leaving Montreal and Concordia University for a post at the University of Mississippi’s Declaration of Independence Center in Oxford.


He cited rising antisemitism, personal safety concerns as a high-profile Jewish professor who supports Israel, Canada’s tax burden (including the departure/exit tax on leaving), and immigration policies. He had already taken a leave from Concordia and obtained an EB-1A visa.


Wikipedia now lists him as currently at Ole Miss (formerly Concordia). A late-August 2026 piece noted he was starting the new position “in a few days.” He has made multiple visits to Oxford this year (book events in April/May, additional trips in July) and has been posting about the move and Mississippi in recent weeks. The family relocation was planned for this summer.


So as of now (late August 2026), the move is either complete or in its final stages. He is no longer based in Canada.


Jordan Peterson left Canada well before Gad Saad.


He announced it in December 2024 on his daughter Mikhaila’s podcast, citing the College of Psychologists of Ontario fight, proposed online-harms legislation (Bill C-63), taxes, and the federal government. He and Tammy listed their Toronto (Seaton Village) house in summer 2025 and moved to Paradise Valley, Arizona, to be near Mikhaila and her family.


By mid-2025 the house sale was public; by 2026 sources treat Arizona as his residence. He still deals with Ontario regulatory issues from afar and has had serious health problems this year, but he is no longer living in Canada.

And all those trucks going FROM the US into Canada, delivering stuff made in the USA.

All what trucks?


The U.S. economy is roughly twelve times Canada’s. Bilateral goods-and-services trade was about $880 billion in 2025. That is a large relationship, but it is a much bigger slice of Canada’s economy than of America’s.


Canada sends roughly 72–77% of its merchandise exports to the United States. The U.S. sends a far smaller share of its total exports to Canada. Exports to the U.S. are commonly cited as on the order of 15–20% of Canadian GDP in headline terms; value-added analyses put the truly exposed slice lower, but still material. A given tariff therefore hits a larger share of Canadian output and employment than of U.S. output.

Economics is what decides a trade war. U.S. GDP is about twelve times Canada’s. The U.S. market absorbs most of what Canada sells. Canada cannot replace that demand. The U.S. can replace more of what it buys from Canada, even if some items (heavy crude, certain metals, some auto parts) are sticky and expensive to swap.


Geography locks that in. Canada’s factories, pipelines, and rail lines were built to ship south. The shortest, cheapest route for oil, cars, lumber, and parts is the U.S. border. Oceans and other continents are farther and slower. The U.S. has other suppliers and two coasts. Canada’s alternatives are weaker and take years to build.


Population matters only as market size and labor pool. 340 million vs. 41 million is why the U.S. market is the prize and why Canada cannot out-consume or out-produce its way out of a tariff fight.


So: all three point the same way. The binding constraint is economic scale plus a map that funnels Canada into the United States.
