And yet I can get stuff shipped to me free or nearly free from china while it costs me $25 to get the same size box half way across Canada.

That shipping isn't free, dumbass. It's subsidized to undercut non-chinese suppliers in a (successful) attempt to put them out of business.

This is why Temu and the others are sending stuff for free.

Everything is an evil Chinese conspiracy to some people it's genuinely hilarious, like the whole concept of investing in the manufacturing sector to provide an active economy for a developing nation and basic principles like economies of scale are all just sneaky commie lies and actually the global economy is just a chubby yellow man with narrow eyes twiddling his Manchu mustache and laughing evilly about how his plot to flood the world with cheap goods is going to put hardworking mom and pop American corporations out on the street, after only a few more decades of improving everyone's lifestyle with affordable living.
