Canada targets NY, MI and MN with 25% reverse tariff on electricity.
Last I checked, these are blue zones.

Who would've thought that reciprocal tariffs, inherently fair, would trigger such a flood of indignation and retaliation.

Are you saying that foreign nations narrowly targeting American citizens is somehow more ethical than achieving equity via reciprocal tariffs? Now the punitive component of increased tariff to punish insouciance at the border is something different. There is a point to be made, but I don't necessarily agree with applying tariffs to address it. I do know, though, that when one wishes to leave US, they have to go through an exit process.

Maybe we should still be punishing Germany and Austria? You know, for producing and electing actual Hitler.

"motorcycles and coffee from southern Pennsylvania, which helped return Trump to the White House."
Hm punishing American citizens for voting. Somehow not trying to influence elections.

I'd say heck let's just trade embargo the whole uppity country and see who cries first. See Cuba, the home of Trudeau's father.

CANADA-US TRADE: THE FACTS Canada imported $123 bn CAD worth of services from the US in 2023, and exported $105 bn CAD. Trade between the two countries accounted for 77% of total Canadian goods exports and 63% of Canadian goods imports, but only 18% of total US goods exports and 14% of US goods imports.

Every day, $3.6 billion in goods and services crosses the Canada-U.S. border, fueling a $1.3 trillion annual trade relationship. This partnership supports: 1.4 million American jobs tied to Canadian exports. 2.3 million Canadian jobs tied to U.S. exports.

I'd post the import tariff schedules for these complaining countries, but for some reason those are more difficult to find than they were in 2017, it's too much trouble just to collect pearls for swine.
Know, though, that our unbalanced import markets are result of many years of carefully planned selling-out by our government officials in exchange for narrow gain for themselves at the expense of American citizens at large.

#9 Yeah, because it's not like millions of Trump voters live in those red states.

-Look at it this way, miss. A foreign attack on any American is an attack on all Americans.
