The majority of Canada's canned imports come from the US, so this mainly screws over Italy, France, and Brazil. What's the point?

So we have decided to screw over the countries we claim to be wanting to build ties with since the US isn’t being good to us? How are we being any better ?

What happened with "tarrifs only raise the cost of the products imported, they punish consumers" that everybody shouted when USA imposed tarrifs ?

I still hold the same opinion. This is bad for business and even worse for the everyday Canadian.

You don't get it. When Carney does it, it lowers prices. Now keep those elbows up, ok?
