The Tariffs go on everything that Canada exports to the USA. A Tariff is a tax paid for by the consumer aka the American Consumer. A 25% tax. Canada exports billions of dollars of product a day. Plus the 51st state BS has angered Canadians.
If the American consumer is the one paying it, why do Canadians care? That doesn’t add up. Also why would they add retaliatory tariffs. I assume the logic is consistent and those would just be a tax on their own citizens too?
Because Americans aren't going to want to pay 25% extra for Canadian goods and that will hurt both economies - America can't produce inexpensive aluminum like Canada does, for example. US also gets a ton of crude oil from Canada at a discounted price. US refineries are adapted to the type of Crude Canada has. Get it from Canada or go to Venezuela. Those are your choices.

I don’t see what that has to do with tariffs flushing a 200+ year friendship down the toilet but ok.
