Juno News - Mark Carney’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods are really a tax on Canadians

00:00:00.000 The retaliatory tariffs that Mark Carney is imposing on the Americans is actually a tax paid

00:00:05.340 by Canadians. So when they say a 25% tax on American goods, that's American goods imported

00:00:10.880 into Canada and purchased by Canadians. It's a tax on us. It's a 25% tax on us. I wish that

00:00:17.420 more Canadians would understand that and that the media would say it plainly. A tariff is a tax and

00:00:22.380 the tax on American goods is a tax on Canadians. Hey, couldn't have said it better myself. Let me

00:00:27.300 just add one more thing. The government of Canada knows that simple reality because there's billboards

00:00:33.060 from the government of Canada in the United States saying that a tariff is a tax on Americans. Okay,

00:00:39.300 well, if a US tariff is a tax on Americans, the converse is also true, right? A Canadian tariff

00:00:45.860 is a tax on Canadian businesses, which means higher prices for Canadians. And look, if Washington DC

00:00:52.660 wants to hit Americans with new taxes, it doesn't mean that Ottawa should hammer Canadians with new

00:00:58.720 taxes. In fact, we should be doing the exact opposite. We got to be cutting income taxes,

00:01:03.440 cutting business taxes, cutting capital gains taxes, and cutting the regulations that make

00:01:08.240 it nearly impossible to invest and actually build stuff here in Canada. Absolutely. Well,

00:01:13.460 maybe we should invest in some billboards in the GTA reminding swing voters in Ontario that the tax

00:01:18.920 introduced by Carnia's attacks that they will pay.
