For me, the budget behind my family food expenses is the most important factor. If we can make our own food in our home at lesser costs then why would we go out to eat the ready made ones and pay 5 times more, especially when we cannot afford. This is not only going to happen with McDonalds, but it may happen with most of the restaurants. Only the people who can still afford may opt to eat out. The only solution is there should be a mega salary hike among the middle class working family members so we wont need to worry about the affordability issue.

It is very easy to think like this, but if Canada does not export to US then whom else can it export to? and how will its economy perform. Canada needs to be friendly with most of the countries in this world and try to balance its trade and stabilize its economy and let its economy grow at a relatively fair rate. The world is changing rapidly. Canada needs to change as well.

Mr. Trumps Tariffs are going to be conditional. i.e. mostly related to boarder and security challenges. If Canada can satisfy the conditions then Canada need not to worry about it. Is this Correct? Mr. Trump is discussing about conditional tariffs. The condition is related to the boarder and security challenges. If Canada can satisfy those conditions then Canada need not worry about the tariffs.

I keep on wondering why Canada's GDP keeps going up and down. For example look at the GDP numbers in the years, 1976-77, 1991-96, 2000-02, 2008-10, 2012 and onwards. What would be the correct diagnosis?

The other day in the news some one was saying that our economic growth is based on population growth. Now they are saying our currency fall is based on drop in inflation. No one knows exactly what is really going on.

It's a great idea to ramp up/strengthen our own defense at the cost of foreign aid. Definitely the need of the time! The people from the world are changing, so we need to change too. To those countries, who have multi-millionaires and billionaires should not be given any kind of foreign aid. Let those multi-millionaires and billionaires take the responsibility to aid their own country men, women and children.
