    He could paint it as taking down the “ivory tower intellectuals”

    Since the goal they(the far right) achieved in Canada under Stephen Harper was the suppression of compensation.

    To the point that a field requiring a job earns half the value in Canada that it does in the US.

      That wouldn’t work at all. Treason Trump supporters care about themselves and only themselves. This affects all Americans in a huge way, and they would know it, if/when they learn about it. Being an immigration expansionist extremist completely undercuts Treason Trump’s original propaganda of being “anti-establishment” and painting other politicians way milder policies as “globalists”.

      I know companies starting “offshoring” efforts in Canada. The theory is that they are cheaper than US but on part technically and that more than makes up for the poor quality from India. Plus other benefits of language and time zones.
