To do that properly, we'll also need Maine, Vermont, and a chunk of New York. Maybe a new border at the 43rd or 42nd parallel. Boston might be okay with it.
The 50 per cent rate is being imposed in response to what a senior administration official described as Canada's retaliation against U.S. trade policy and its discrimination against U.S. motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.
Funny, because just about two days ago he said it was a response to smoke. It's almost like he's a demented old man who can only remember he's angry but not what about.

I suppose the tariffs will cause some decrease in Canadian exports to the US, resulting in some economic suffering, but as we find other markets, the US tariffs will become increasingly irrelevant to everyone but Americans.

Come on Canada, put a tax on services by 50%. I bet Netflix, Google, Amazon and Apple will have talk with Trump.

We had that ready to be implemented. Then the current government killed it.

Carney will say "elbows up" then offer the USA concessions.

Gee doesn't that sound familiar. Perhaps he and people like Chuck Schumer are part of the same club.

Well, those are tariffs. It's the US already cutting them all by themselves.

If this doesn’t bring American booze back to Canadian stores, I don’t know what will.

Was so disappointed when Carney backed down on that tax. Goes to show that there’s nothing to be gained by playing nice.
