Yup. In theory, if the tariff still makes it cheaper to buy from Canada and the US still buys as much from us, then technically, we're good. It's the American businesses and customers that eat that tax.
But in reality, these tariffs are meant to make Canadian goods MORE expensive than US made products, and force Americans to buy home grown. Which again, ultimately hurts everyone. Hurts Canadians cuz we can't sell the goods, and hurts Americans because they now have to pay 25% more for their stuff.
But hey, more money for the military right? Because America! Eff yah!
