Canada will keep in place its retaliatory tariffs against US-made products as long as President Donald Trump persists with a trade war, said Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister-designate.
I don’t think they’re saying it’s good economics and yes, for the most part, we understand how these tariffs will affect us.
But there’s a lot of anger at Trump here. Booing the American national anthem is not something we do lightly. I haven’t seen people this united for a common cause for a long time. I regularly see people checking labels at grocery stores to avoid buying American even if we have to pay more.
We know a recession is likely for both countries and we’ll be hit harder by it. It’s a small price to pay for our sovereignty.
