Fantastic, thanks again! Looks like I’ve got some reading to do.

Oh that does look very useful, thank you!

Thanks for your reply! That makes a lot of sense to me.

Astounding that Ontario buys that much US liquor, and reducing that market will certainly have an impact on the US economy!

As an aside, other than oranges I won’t miss any of those items, and I know there are alternative options for oranges!

Thank you for the response! I haven’t seen a lot of specifics about the Canadian tariffs, but maybe I just haven’t been looking in the right places. It makes a lot of sense to target particular items which have Canadian alternatives, and to put pressure on Red states as u/IslandLife mentioned below.

Edit: I was wondering why the word “Teriff” didn’t look right. Apparently my phone decided that was the proper way to spell Tariff.

Just so I’m clear, if/when Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US, Canada plans reciprocate with equal Teriffs on US goods entering Canada?

I/we know and understand that teriffs are basically an import tax, paid to the government by the companies which are bringing the product in, and generally that cost is passed down to consumers in the form of a higher price tag on goods.

Is the end goal here is to bolster our own economy by making US goods prohibitively expensive for Canadian citizens to buy, in turn making Canadians more likely to purchase Canadian goods (which is what we are trying to do anyway)?

What is stopping this from hurting out economy the same way it will likely hurt the US economy?

I feel like I need a stronger understanding of the situation.
