Seeing American prices compared to Canadian prices on amazon really makes me realize that Canada is essentially a poor shithole.

What if I told you that it's artificially high? By design. To keep you oor so you would vote for the government to help you.

a 550 dollar GPU is roughly 850+ dollars in Canada.

>>217059471
Do you think this is because you are poor or because of a government intervention?
>Tariffs
This shit is made in Japan or Singapore or wherever, not in Trumpland.

And then you remember we make way less than they do
>>
>>217059464
The blame for this goes to Québec farmers. They do this with maple syrup too.

>>217059464
I heckin love free market capitalism

>>217059495
And Japan and Singapore are tariffed. America wants more control over strategic assets across the world in the last few major western-alligned industrial superpowers left to try and compete with Choinah.
>>
>>217059495
That shit is made in like 20 different countries and the software needed to do any of it is produced in the US, which is how they have a monopoly on it at all. A GPU without software is a brick with silicone on it.

I am considering taking a job in China because this country is ass. There's nothing redeemable about this place. Finding a place for under 1.5k a month as a single person is insanely difficult and you can only find absolute shitsholes and basement units for that price, there are druggies all over the place who will try to fight you. Any educated person is a faggot redditor.

>>217059495
I make 70k a year which is 4k a month after taxes and deductions. I thought I'd be making good money when I got hired, but nope. When you take rent and living costs into account, you never make that much at all. Should've listened to my friend who warned me that even on this income I won't be able to afford a home ever and I'll be stuck renting in shitholes.

>tariffs on their ability to sell to the US market affect Canadian prices
It's comments like this that make me think Trotsky was right.

>You need daddy Murica aproval to buy Asian things in Canada
Seriously? The Chinks have a better tech industry than the Yanks, just buy from them.

>>217059588
Justin made one million Pajeets enter Canada every single year. What were you expecting for the job market, the housing market and the infrastructure?
>>
>>217059649
I never voted for the Liberals because I'm not a retard.

This country is going down the drain. Probably best to leave at this point.
>>
>>217059402
but saar we make more money or something. thats why it needs to cost a little bit extra even after conversion. canada is better than my hometown krapesh!!

>>217059684
Like Cali, this is a place for grand ideals and a smug sense of moral superiority, not for people.

>>217059696
You jest, but an Indian diasporoid chick told me exactly that.

>4l of milk
more reasonable
had it been 1l, it'd be 'the fuck are you doing nigga?'-tier
milk is currently at 2.15~2.20 CAD/liter at my local store

>milk is currently at 2.15~2.20 CAD/liter at my local store
do you guys also have a dairy farmer lobby
I thought that the EU had a ton of subsidies for farmers
>>
>>217061092
no idea desu
farmers seem to just sell to commercial dairies with local dairy factories and then the milk is sold in stores as local milk from the area (since it is)
that's all I know about milk sales or the politics
>>
>>217059495
Something our government has successfully done is trick the regular Canadian that only Trump is the one waging a tariff war on us.
