I want to know about what the Government is going to do FEBRUARY 2nd , not in MARCH. Tariffs goes both ways. Increase the costs of Hydro to the U.S ( Make Americans pay more to keep the lights on.). Put a SURTAX ON POTASH GOING TO AMERICA ( Increase costs to AMERICAN FARMERS) A SURTAX ON OIL& LNG to bring the prices of CANADIAN OIL& LNG to WORLD MARKET PRICES ( no more discounts). Increase DUTIES OF AMERICAN GOODS BEING BROUGHT IN BY VACATIONING/CROSS BORDER SHOPPING CANADIANS WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON TIME SPENT IN THE U.S.
CANADIAN CURRENCY ONLY ,NO AMERICAN CURRENCY TO BE USED BY AMERICAN TOURISTS WHEN IN CANADA ( no GST/HST REBATES). American Tariffs on Canada is a Direct Threat to our ECONOMIC SECURITY,SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL SECURITY.
Re: the last comment. Arent Teslas and many automobiles that we sell made in mexico? And how does raising taxes on the poor, basically, fight fentanyl? Will it too be 25 % more expensive. I don’t see the connection.
If I understand this correctly, the man who is worth over $400 billion on which his company paid NO taxes is helping Trump orchestra a perverse scheme of tariffs that will cost people in my bracket an extra $1,200-$1,700. Hmmmm...

This is SO painfully true: << Average American household impact: $1,200-$1,700 in lost purchasing power >>
Here are a few more facts: (1) Tariffs are, effectively, a tax, but one that is passed on to the consumer. (2) The corporations and the wealthy already pay far too little in taxes. (3) Finally, here's "the cake": << Elon Musk's Tesla paid a total of $0 in federal income taxes in 2024, new tax reports show, despite the company having raked in billions of dollars in income and being the most valuable car company in the world. >> Source url: https://truthout.org/articles/tesla-paid-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2024-despite-2-3-billion-in-income/#:~:text=Elon%20Musk's%20Tesla%20paid%20a,car%20company%20in%20the%20world.
