Mangoes and South Asian fish don’t grow close to you no matter what. You don’t think bull shipping Mexican tomatoes via the ocean isn’t going to cost more than the same tomato shipped by the US land route?
replyIf you were going to take that tariff money to build up a local tomato industry it might make sense, Canada already has a growing hot house industry. But don’t kid yourself, tariffs cost the consumer and for low margin highly seasonal and subject to going bad goods like produce is about the worst case scenario.
Whatever man...
replyIf you want people to buy stuff from you Americans then just try to stop pushing forward American imperialism down into everyone's throats. This isn't just about money, it is about my country's sovereignty.
That’s a reasonable reason to apply tariffs. But don’t assume it’s _us_ paying that tax. It’s you.
replyWe get to get taxed on the other side by paying more for Canadian goods.
It's not about economics, it's about politics. The free world hates you. You just don't realise it yet.
