As the other reply said this is literally nothing. The Canadian maple syrup cartel. I'm literally laughing out loud. Common knowledge in what circles?
Most trade between the US and Canada is free. There is a free trade agreement.
Yes. Canada doesn't want to lose its artists so it supports local musicians. I mean everyone still listens to local TV and Radio stations here. We don't have the Internet in our logging camps.
There is no ban on foreign ownership of residential property. You must be confusing us with Australia.
[EDIT: Sorry but as you noted I am at least partly wrong here. Since 2022 [actually 2023] there are limitations on foreigners buying residential housing in Canada. It has a lot of loopholes but it still exists. You can still own residential property if you acquired it before even if you are a foreigner. This isn't really a trade question anyways].
There's some inter-provincial friction. Not sure what that has to do with anything. Gives the US an advantage.
You pay sales tax on stuff you buy online. That's true in the US as well. I know Amazon really wanted to get around that but hey.
The US supports US companies with various subsidies. It also has lower tax rates. Not fair.
US-Canada trade is a relatively free, win-win. It's not a zero sum game. Now the US administration wants to turn this into a lose-lose zero sum game over some imaginary drug and immigration issues with the border.
