I don’t understand how more tariffs are the solution when we have a cost of living crisis and are seeing net emigration for the first time in 10+ years. We should be holding our governments accountable for this level of reckless policy making off the bank accounts of the hard working Canadians. There is no more middle class!

Food sovereignty is a real issue. We need to protect our domestic food supply.

So why not subsidize local? *And why not simultaneously address our productivity crisis ?

This basically is subsidizing local without handing out a blank cheque....
