I just don't understand the part where we're somehow being "unfair" to the US.
During Trump's first term, Trudeau had to remind him that Canada has the deficit in trading with the US. This is probably retribution for embarrassing him. I wish I was kidding
I think it's more an attempt to replace income tax since it acts like a sales tax like they've been drooling to do for years but now they don't have to say the word tax
People should just start referring to Tariffs as "import taxes" (which exactly what Tariffs are) , as in " Trump raise the import taxes on Canadian goods".
Then just let people reach the natural conclusion from the pain on their wallets.
It's a strongarm tactic to negotiate something else they want or they're trying to spoil u.s.-Canadian relations.
At this point I legitimately want Canada to Annex America, we cannot be left to our own devices.
Our president is a baby. Everything is unfair. Diapers? Unfair. Hurricanes? Unfair.
Most in the US don't see how Canada is being unfair. Maybe he is using "unfair" like he uses it when his assault victims sue him.
You're trying to reconcile a dude who thinks Goliath is the hero?
