Great handle BTW! I know we have charged tariffs, didn't realize it was on so much stuff until recently. We don't want the dairy with hormones and antibiotics and vaccines etc.it was my understanding tat was the motivation for dairy tariffs. Can you even buy canadian dairy in the us? There is no US dairy here. Our dairy market control is ridiculous. We dump thousands of litres daily but that's a whole other issue. But hasn't US always tariffed a bunch of our stuff? Softwood lumber for instance. And wasn't all this part of the last trade deal, you know when christia freeland really beat up on trump in those negotiations.
Oh, I see, so there is an effort to offset by mixing and matching. But then we don't follow through or just change it as we go like adding "digital tax"?
Do you have a background in this realm?
I'm having lunch with former director General of canadian treasury next week. I'm going to pick his brain as well. I have not spent much time on trade issues. I'm finding it pretty interesting.
The freeland comment was a joke. I'm terrified of the deal jt is going to make. He will screw us over again.
