    I’d do an ad that says: “We don’t pay the tariffs. You do” — Canada

      Which is pretty true. But it’s funny because Canada has tougher tariffs on the US meaning their people pay more for things there for exactly the same reason. Canada charges a 300% tariff on dairy.

      So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let’s get rid of them entirely.

        Canada can also meet most or all of its own dairy needs. There’s no reason a Canadian should be buying dairy from other countries aside from a few niche/luxury products, so that tariff is fine.

        Charging tariffs on things a country needs to import is crazy.

        Yeah, that’s only if they make too much. You’re being a jackass on purpose and are probably paid opposition here in the United States. Can it
