The US has strategically used tariffs with great success over the last decades to get favorable pricing from Canada on everything from energy, softwood, potash, you name it. One item at a time, slowly, methodically they were able to bring down pricing. We have been giving the US extremely good prices, and now, because of Trump he has just flipped the board over and it’s time to restart.
America will be far worse off than before this started, and this has leveled off the playing field again with Canada.
Could you or someone explain this a bit further? You’re saying tariffs were used to bring down prices, but now tariffs are bringing prices back up again? What’s different this time?
Thanks for any help.
(I’m also thrilled for Canada, especially if it means shit in Donald lap.)

As a Canadian I am thrilled.
