Wouldn’t a subsidy or tax incentive for things produced domestically be a more beneficial way to combat tariffs?
How so? These would increase demand for things produced in Canada, not really harm America. These are retaliatory tariffs, so the latter is the point here.
Grow a spine and make it 100 percent. The quicker trumps masters learn it wont work the better.
That's an emotional response. You don't win with emotion, you win with a pragmatic strategy.
Tat, meet Tit.
I order a decent amount of coffee from Canada and am pretty miffed about this on a personal level not to mention a philosophical one.
It's like "ok fine, we won't buy shit off eachother"
Last I checked US has a bunch of stuff they try to sell.
Personnaly I would put a mirror tarrif. Tax the stuff going out to USA. Canadian economy will slow down, don't make life more expensive for Canadians. And that way Americans might notice it faster if they pay 50 percent more.
Even the Wall Street Journal said this was the dumbest trade war in history.
