Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday his government is not considering hitting American goods with more retaliatory tariffs, even as the trade war rages on, because there are signs that the bilateral talks on relief are headed in the right direction.
I’d like an approach where we tariffed all American products that Canadian substitutes already exist for, and slowly raising tariffs on the products you mentioned like aluminum for cans to get those production lines ready. Obviously production doesn’t come up overnight but we need to disincentivize businesses from using cheap American substitutes in everything.
