That Trump is serious about introducing a tariff appears clear.
Responding to incoming U.S. president Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, Premier David Eby says he and his fellow political leaders have agreed on a strategy to push back.
When pushed by the interviewer to explain how tariffs can be levied on Canada’s imports without driving up the price of American goods and services, Trump simply blustered, a not uncommon practice of his. And this suggests the need for a more practical strategy. How much good it will do to have Eby lobby Democrats and Smith plead with Republicans is anyone’s guess.
It should also be possible to determine, from past experience, which Canadian goods are most likely to go up in price. Oil products, prairie grains and Quebec dairy products would almost certainly cost more in the U.S. if tariffs were applied to them. For although Trump is a demagogue, he is first and foremost a populist politician. He gets his support from working-class families who feel squeezed by the pressures of daily life.
