The Canadian government has released a comprehensive list of American goods that will be tariffed.
The list includes cheeses, meats, milk, fruits, vegetables, coffee, spices, chocolates, pastas, fruit juices, beer, wine, liqueurs, tobacco, perfumes, beauty products, kitchenware, car parts, lumber, toilet paper, clothing and household items.
Where is IT and technology?
Very hard to put tariffs on that. They would need to be taxed, as no goods really cross the border with them.
I can’t find direct evidence at their federal level, but their British Columbia Premier did mention targeting US’s ‘red States’ for their liquor stores. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-premier-david-eby-us-tariffs-1.7448307
Looking at the list, it does seem to be mostly agricultural goods and manufactured goods, which do mostly come from Trump-supporting areas.
The counter tariffs are supposed to be sanctions on the US not on Canada itself.
Yeah, that list will pinch the people, but tech is calling the shots. Nobody that started this tariff war cares about that list.
Edit: that said, don’t blame them. This whole shitpile never had to happen. Maybe poking the people is their way to bring awareness.
