Since November, President Donald Trump has threatened to impose broad 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods. He’s repeatedly claimed the country has no need for Canada’s exports — cars, lumber, oil and food products in particular — because America makes “the same products on the other side of the border.”
Experts predict the ripple effects of a trade war could be crushing for both economies. Canadian and American farmers, who have long relied on a steady exchange of crops, equipment, fertilizer and other agricultural goods, are bracing for impact.
Canada is an important trading partner, both as a customer and as a supplier of crucial inputs like potassium fertilizer.
That’s OK, because rich people will be able to buy failing farms for pennies on the dollar, which is the point.
This needs to be reposted every time the words “Trump” and “Tariffs” are in the same sentence, and/or paragraph.
