The Liberals are imposing an import tariff on drywall destined for Western Canada.
A Canadian drywall company called CertainTeed Gypsum Canada launched a complaint with the Canadian Border Services Agency regarding cheaper American drywall being what the company called “dumped “ into Western Canada and hurting their market share.
To stop this dumping, the Liberals are imposing a tax on American drywall anywhere west of the Manitoba-Ontario border.
And Liberals being Liberals, they just did it without thinking. They especially didn't think about what protecting this one company from American competition would mean for Alberta and the rebuild in Fort McMurray.
Fort Mac, already hit by the drop in oil prices, terrible NDP policies, the massive wildfire and then flooding are having what amounts to an exorbitant liberal tax placed on every piece of drywall headed into their community. Drywall prices in the West will increase by 276%.
It’s despicable. It’s anti-Western.
Even worse, this whole tariff goes right into the government coffers with the Liberal’s making money on the devastation and tragedy Fort McMurray families have lived through this last year. It’s sickening. It’s disaster profiteering of the worst sort, like stores who jack up the price of bottled water and candles when a hurricane hits.
Don’t kid yourself, there is a subset of the Liberal party who think those uppity westerners need to be put back in their place after a decade of being in charge. This is just the sort of humility they think westerners deserve, having to beg to be able to rebuild their lives.
If the Liberals want to protect Canadian companies, and stop other countries from dumping their products into Canada, they can start by putting a tariff on every barrel of Venezuelan oil coming into Canada.
Hundreds of Fort McMurrayites are still out of their homes and yet those out of touch Liberals decided now was the time to add a tariff that will increase the cost of this one very necessary construction supply by 276%. And they’re going to profit from it.
This all begs the question: Do these eastern-centric Alberta hating Liberals even want Fort Mac to rebuild?
The Liberals may show anti-West behaviour, but the people in the East don’t think like this.
But what is even worse is that the de facto PM is Gerald Butts, who wants all oil and coal production stopped, Same for natural gas. He pulls the strings and low educated slow minded Trudeau mouths what he is told. Also Butts wants Canada to more or less become Luddites, reduce our presence on the land, depopulate and use the UN’s Agenda 21 which maps out how to do this. A one world government. We are so screwed,
Baby Trudeau is possibly and probably the least educated and accomplished PM compared to those who came before. Yes, the press proudly states that he went to McGill, but they don’t bother mentioning that he dropped out of a cream puff program. Then he went to U of Montreal, and again dropped out. Too difficult a program? I know that when the children of prominent politicians attend that special considerations are usually given. Yet he still couldn’t manage to obtain a degree. Ergo, he has high school.
So what does one expect of a low information, not too bright PM with an anti-oil puppet master and a cabinet constantly looking foolish.
Three more years of this, folks. Then thirty to recover, unless the Liberals steamroll through their election “reforms”. Then we might as call ourself mini EU.
“Club Canada”..!!!
It wouldn’t have anything to do with government tax and regulation or unions would it?
We could enjoy this pass time after …. S E P A R A T I O N
DJBT and the rest
Divided we fall.
Justin needs to sign in for a Head Check.
Hey Rebel, can you make and sell blue hats with gold lettering saying “Make Alberta Great Again”?
Second, Baby Doc already has had his kodac moment in Ft MacMurray, so it is no longer of importance for him.
Third, the Liberal Party of Corruption has to pay for moving expenses somehow.
Fourth, where is the Alberta Non-Democratic Party in this. As government, we’ll say that to be polite, should they not be supporting the area MP? The invisibility of the energy minister is infecting the entire cabinet.
Sounds like the insult of the fed wheat marking cartel – only grain producers west of the Ont. boarder had restricted trade. Why are we still a part of this grasping Larentian oligarchy called Kandar.
I later wished that I had not listened and that I had pushed. Maybe, had I done so, Little Potato Head would not have been so badly brainwashed.
This is pathetic planned bullying
A federal government is supposed to run the country in good governance for the whole of the country
You eastern bastards that are part of this childish game
-— your time is coming !!!!
