Wonder if this will end up like Ford's 25 percent surcharge on electricity? They should have coordinated on these things.
I think Ford's export tariffs are still threatened retaliation. Politeness level from US increased yesterday after back down. If all tariffs are removed other than dairy on April 2, then its a win. Rhetoric backdown isn't catastrophic if and only if the other side stops amplifying the extortion.
Hi, American here.
It’s not a win until the US removes all tariffs, including on dairy. His reason for that is bullshit too.
Dairy exports from Canada are very low. If Trump gets to boast that "he singlehandedly saved the US dairy industry" without any retaliation, then its a nothing burger where politics crying over the nothing burger will help distract from all of the other pillaging of America he plans.
Better to not coordinate. Trump comes up with new problems for Canada on a regular basis, only fair we do the same to him.
I feel like co-ordinating on these things would be better. BC, ON and QC all have steel and aluminium industries to defend, and all three provinces export a decent chunk of electricity to nearby US states.
A co-ordinated surcharge on electricity would be a powerful response to the inpatient at the white house.
