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.
They have been talking about tariffs on oranges, Harley Davidson, Jack Daniel's. Tariffs like this specifically target red states putting pressure on the people who voted for Trump. Ontario alone accounts for 45% of all American liquor exports.
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!
The lcbo is one of the largest liquor purchasers on the planet, brings in $2.5 billion as of last year to the Ontario government.
