US is making it pretty clear there's no point bothering with negotiating with them.

We should take all that excess aluminum and steel and start a massive weapons program to bolster our armed forces and preserve jobs. How about rushing those pipelines while we're at it, that would use a lot of steel.

Excess factory supply gets new tooling from our great Ontario manufacturers. Any factory closing or laying off gets nationalized. Our factories are already close to our steel and water so this can be done efficiently. This keeps our industrial sector alive and innovative.

We're one of the most educated countries in the world, it's time to get scrappy and put all our skills to good use.

I was thinking that we should build more trains.
