Canada's retaliatory tariffs: Here's the list of targeted items
Canada is hitting back against U.S. tariffs with a lengthy list of counter-tariffs of its own.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced billions of dollars in new tariffs on U.S. imports to Canada. The affected goods include foods, appliances. jewelry and some clothing.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the measures — $155 billion worth — Saturday, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order imposing tariffs on Canadian (and Mexican) goods.
The government released a list Sunday of the first $30 billion in affected goods, marking the first phase of Canada's response.

That list is ONE FIFTH of the total on which tariffs will be imposed. IMO a lot of things on that list could be purchased by Canada elsewhere, such as China, at more reasonable prices. It's time to start shifting suppliers and markets. That way Canadians will not be as hurt as Americans. I'm sure China would love to get Canada's wood, and Europe would love to get Canada's oil. Fruit and vegetables during winter can come from Mexico, and you wouldn't believe how many oranges of different kinds are on sale here in China right now - who needs Florida and California?
Sadly this is going to be a lose lose for all countries. It still hard to believe that dumb ass Trump is starting this with Canada, for what? His ego is the only thing that makes sense.
Wait till the farmers get hit and a 25% tariff on potash, you’ll hear some howl’s for sure.
What makes what he's doing TOTALLY insane is because the flow of drugs and migrants from Canada is MICROSCOPIC compared to what flows over the Mexican border, and Canada HAS been beefing up the border security, even to the extent of BlackHawk patrols, yet he is treating Canada the same as Mexico.
Ah, those delicious American-made insect sausages-- Canadians will miss them!
When I got to that in the list, I thought it was a joke. I couldn't believe it.
Well they're not all that bad-- Canadians cover them with that wonderful Canadian Maple Syrup!
Nothing can compare to a sweetened beetle in the morning.
Indeed,
I love the smell of sweetened beetles in the morning!

At least the smell of sweetened beetles doesn't lead to an apocalypse.
