The retaliatory tariffs that Canada is imposing on the U.S. are actually a tax paid by Canadians. I wish that more Canadians would understand that and that the media would say it plainly. A tariff is a tax and the tax on American goods are 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 0.96
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.
