Trump’s tariffs are wrong, and they are hurting Canadian exporters.
But Ottawa’s counter-tariffs will not remove them. They will raise costs here at home.
Canadian families could pay more for affected goods. Canadian businesses could pay more for equipment, supplies, materials and imported components.
Then taxpayers will pay again for Ottawa’s $7.5-billion support package.
Canada’s response to Trump's tariff attack should be to strengthen our economy, not to weaken it with more taxes.
