[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn’t Canada just hit with retaliatory tariffs by China, after Canada placed tariffs on Chinese goods last Fall? (before the U.S. or Canadian elections took place).[/quote]

OP here. Doesn’t that debunk some of the Republican theories that Canada is being overtaken by the Chinese then?

China is not our ally. You are. Why are you placing 25% or more on our commodities, including food, when we are friends? This is your government’s doing. [/quote]

Good points, and I am a believer in NAFTA; it’s inescapable we are neighbors and we are natural allies due to our common cultural origins.  All true.

But can you also agree Trudeau must have had a “Make Canada Great Again” / Canada-first” policy in place when he chose to use import tariffs against China?

I thought he did that because the Biden administration asked him to.

It took five months for China to respond.[/quote]

Answering my own question. These tariffs were to try to earn points with US Administration.  There's also the theory of protecting Canadian business, but more likely trying to appease the US.  Not smart, IMO.

OP, I'm Canadian also.  What I see is people believing Trump’s claim of Canada having huge tariffs on US goods, without double checking the accuracy of that statement.  It doesn't matter thatit's a deal Trump negotiated and signed.  They also believe that they don't need anything from Canada. It's going to be a very long haul.

We have a son who thinks he would be better off in the States.  I don't understand his thought process.[/quote]
