What do you think abo Canadian tariffs ?
I originally thought that tit for tat tariffs were a good idea. I have now changed my mind. Mostly because I did some reading on tariffs, and found out exactly who pays, and more importantly where the money goes. To my mind, a far better plan is a consumer boycott. It is certainly not a political problem if, l in a free society, decide not to buy certain products. It does however send a clear message to the makers of those products.
To go along with this, since it is somewhat related, I object to Supply Management and intra provincial trade barriers for much the same reason. It simply adds costs to consumers and allows incompetent government bodies to chose winners and losers.
Even charging a fee for use of the Alaska highway fell by the wayside, when we found out the US government, or Alaska (it was not clear which) pays for some highway maintenance. This should be the basis for commercial ship traffic to Alaska to pony up for the supply of safety and marine disaster response up the inside passage, where none of this traffic leaves any money, but is exposed to all the hazards.
