@B244VCM2wks2W
I think this should be done on a case to case basis. If the states adds the 25% tariffs then yes we should counter
@9YNBMP42mos2MO
Tariffs should only be used in the case of national security related items/industries or when foreign governments subsidize their exports or tariff our imports.
@9XJDXXW2mos2MO
The money made from for global free trade instead of local labour/resources, goes to executives and large corporations which have lackluster effects on benefiting Canada. Increasing tariffs would hurt our economy because corporations would then offload the increase of manufacturing and resources to the consumer or the employee.
This is not an all question there are times when tariffs are necessary this is a case by case situation.
@9WBTJ7S2mos2MO
Yes.It needs to be 100% tarrifs. Our country should become selfsustaining again and not rely on the global market.
@9RQNPMR5mos5MO
Yes if we have the same product available here. Or better yet help the Canadian companies become competitive with the imports.
@9RGCB9P5mos5MO
No, not on materials, but should on direct to consumer products and provide more subsidies for manufacturing and production of Canadian-made goods.
@9GPTJ2D1yr1Y
Yes, but it should occur in conjunction with the creation of a robust system that provides a balance between reducing the cost to businesses who must access items not available in the current domestic market AND incentivize consumers to prioritize purchasing products from domestic manufacturers
@9DQSF441yr1Y
Only on things we create here, the tariffs collected will subsidize companies trying to make other products here.
@9DMC8LY1yr1Y
Only from China and any other communist or socialist hellscape.
@98F2D7F2yrs2Y
Add carbon tax inversely to progress on emissions. No domestic carbon tax.
give me the definition of a tariff and i'll awnser
@96XWM2C2yrs2Y
Depending on whether the producer of the imported products is a large coorporation or a smaller start up business.
@92TPFLJ3yrs3Y
Yes but only if they are not party to an existing free trade agreement with Canada
@9BKK3RM2yrs2Y
it depends, are the products competing with Canadian sourced/produced products? then yes, to protect the Canadian GDP from foreign interference. Are the products unique and sourced from reliable companies without labor and workers rights issues and don't undercut Canadian businesses? then no.
@95YXNFR2yrs2Y
Yes, it encourages buying local, which benefits the environment.
@95K3BRJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but not on raw materials to be used to create products in Canada
@945RR7P2yrs2Y
Yes, especially goods from China
@9262JRB3yrs3Y
Only in strategic industries and not on EU products
@8ZSKBGM3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with countries that have low labour and environmental costs associated with the imported products.
Add Border Carbon Adjustments to protect Canadian business which are Emissions Intensive and Trade Exposed, with diminishing credits for oil & gas exports which end in 10 years.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, and make the companies responsible while capping prices to stop them from gouging Canadians in response
@8HDGVYC4yrs4Y
Yes, continue to add and increase tariffs by 90% to favour nationally manufactured goods. This will help create and save jobs.
@8F2KYGZ4yrs4Y
Decrease tariffs drastically
@8DY2CV84yrs4Y
dose not matter if they slow it down or make it faster
@8DHDNNW4yrs4Y
No. Create a tax based on how far all products are shipped instead. The further a product is shipped, the higher the tax on it. (0.01 cents per mile, for example). Raw materials should be exempt.
@8DC73B24yrs4Y
Yes, starting at 85% up and down, selectively, varying rates depending on type of goods and country of origin. For example, jewelry from India would be 77% tariff and a musical instrument from Indonesia would be a 65%. tariff.
@8C5KS8Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but only on things we can produce in Canada.
@8XMLGT43yrs3Y
If a country uses unfair trading practises, than tariffs on imports should be used.
@8HYJTS94yrs4Y
No, we shouldn't increase the tariffs on products or decrease it

@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers, with China being the sole exception due to their theft of our intellectual property
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers, with China being the exception due to their theft of our intellectual property and manipulation of their currency
@8F5PKLS4yrs4Y
Yes, but only to within ten percent and use the taxes for foreign aid for the source country.
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, but only from countries that are failing in human rights or have a lower minimum wage and working age.
@8GR8N5C4yrs4Y
I am in the middle, I can see both POV's
@8HSM22W4yrs4Y
Keep them constant for NATO members but increase them for non-NATO members
@8JDRVDP4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should also keep our raw resources within our country and help create businesses to sustain our country instead of shipping it out and buying it back for more. We need the employment.
@8SQXDKX4yrs4Y
Tariffs should be dependant on the nation that we are importing from
@8WT6RTM3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for countries that use social dumping as a way to be price competitive
@8YJ6ZGY3yrs3Y
No but increase them for countries who violate agreements or human rights
@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
Too many factors to answer well.
@TyberZannxxxx3yrs3Y
No, tax outsourcing companies instead.
@3VSVGRS4yrs4Y
Yes Free Trade can only be conducted with countries that practice Free Trade internally.
@4W48KKZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only slightly and offer "tariff breaks" on foreign companies who can prove ethical business practices and adequate working conditions for employees.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, only on products imported by businesses who outsource jobs to other countries in exchange for substandard labor expenses
@2VP298Q4yrs4Y
Add tariffs on items from US companies that were made overseas to the corporations.
@5RY8R2H4yrs4Y
Yes. Now more than ever, we have seen how important it is to produce our own products rather than rely on global suppliers in a time of shortage and need.
@7Z659224yrs4Y
Yes, but if a country is engaging in unfair restrictive trade, then we should able to retaliate
@7Z659224yrs4Y
No, but if a country is engaging in unfair restrictive trade, then we should able to retaliate

@86N5Z353yrs3Y

@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
