    I don’t understand why Canada should impose tariffs back except for the specific industries where the tariff would give the Canadian business an advantage. Otherwise you are only increasing taxes on Canadians for no reason other than political brownie points.

    Real change should be held off for 18 months while new trade partners are developed and tankers established. Then oil should be cut off a few months before midterm elections.

    Doing trade wars now will make Trump look like a hero in 3 years when he returns everything to normal and acts like he improved things right before the next election.

      This is export control not import. But it’s Ford so he’s unlikely to do anything

      Maybe a different thread would be better suited for your script
