@bezceljudzelzceljsh5799 Canada has tariffs on US imports. For example, on milk, it's as high as 230%. It's a progressive tarrif, so the more imported, the higher it gets. Obviously nobody imports enough to reach that percentage, which is the point of it. It's to protect theur dairy industry. Canada engages in protectionist tariffs, but for some strange reason Canada doesn't think the US should be allowed to do the same. Every country engages in this practice against US industries, but we're supposed to just put tiny more symbolic ones. I don't think most Canadians are even aware they're doing it. So I'm trying to be educational in my engagement with them on this topic. That's why the president is saying reciprocal tariffs. If Americans were running around complaining and hating Canadians for decades over these tariffs, I'd understand the reaction. Instead, we've tolerated them and it doesn't impact our relationship, but if we dare engage in reciprocal tariffs, the world is ending and we're the worst people ever.
Edit: This is why milk is so much more expensive in Canada and why Canadians near the border will cross to buy it and gas. If they weren't in place, we'd import a lot more. Making your milk comparable in pricing but also destroying your dairy industry. So you're own country isn't working in your best interests if that interest is cheaper goods.
