I wonder what would happen if Canada taxed electricity exports to the US, and used the money to directly subsidize other exported goods the US applies tariffs to?
I think a retaliation for a tariff should be an export tax. Let's say Canada puts a 50% export tax on maple syrup unless the car tariff is withheld
What's wrong with Vermont maple syrup?

This was totally the right move, if for no other reason than it's the only thing that this US admin will respect in the long run. Being in Canada though this does look v. short sighted of the US. All this is going to achieve is pushing Canada much closer to other countries, particularly China, which at least superficially these negotiations were meant to prevent.
They don't respect anything. They stand for nothing. Their only concern is to pay lip service to Trump's crazy ideas.
Politicians tend to not want to do things that display them as directly responsible for eroding their support base’s quality of life.
