Tariffs
My thoughts on tariffs? Aside from the obvious that they hurt everyone, I also can't really complain about the other outcomes. Canada has needed to diversify trade avenues and address inter-Provincial trade for some time. If tariffs are the lever that gets this flowing, it is hard to call it all bad. Make no mistake: I don't think these can offset the impacts of tariffs I don't think that they can be made maximally effective quickly I don't we will truly address all of the things that the government is promising Longer term though, especially if Canada can do these things AND repair our relationship with the US as a trade partner it will lead to greater growth for the country. Beyond that, this will hurt the US more. Everyone says it will hurt Canada more (and it will in the short-term). But the reality is that the US has more to lose. Canada also has more to gain. The number tossed around is that 80% of our trade is with the US. Tariffs only "work" in 2 scena...
