Did the the Chicken Tax destroy America, and lead to Trump's tariffs?

Since the 1960s America has taxed light trucks being imported. Because America didn't have to build light trucks to compete internationally they lost the international market on light trucks. Now nobody wants to buy American cars and trucks because they are not as good as what others countries build. So now America has put up high tariffs to make itself even more isolationist, since they can't compete.

Ontario voters are getting ripped off, ridings are too big!!!

Ridings in Ontario were historically about 5000 people, with very large ridings hitting 8,000, and nothing in the double digits. Today ridings are 100,000 people.

Look at the difference between 1908 and 2022 Ontario general election, in Toronto.

1908 Ontario general election Toronto South - Conservative win with 5,202 votes of 6,965 cast (75% of the vote). 74.69

2022 Ontario general election Toronto Centre - NDP won with 15,285 votes of 34,921 cast (43.77% of the vote).
