Here's A List Of What Canada's Tariffs Will Hit

OTTAWA — Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on up to $16.6 billion worth of U.S. imports in response to the American decision to place similar levies on Canadian-made steel and aluminum.

The Canadian tariffs, which go into effect July 1, cover a broad range of items. Some, mainly unfinished iron and steel products, will be hit with a 25 per cent tariff, while others, including many consumer products, will be tagged with a 10-per-cent duty.

Here is a list of some of the affected products, which run from industrial metal bars to gherkins, whiskey and felt-tipped pens.

Canada: "You think you can ruin your economy like that?! oh yeah, well we'll ruin our economy to! HA! Take that!"

Yup, Trudeu is just talking mouth for the elite. Ruin two economies, then prices drop after a crash, and the uber wealthy by up all the cheap assets. We will probably see a similar crash to the one in 2008 this time it won't just hit the housing markets. It will hit almost every product.

If that does happen again soon we're probably gonna see a massive surge of crypto prices. Merely from inflation, but even more so by the mainstream getting fed up with the bs, and realizing there are more options than an easily manipulable fiat currency that bureaucrats and cronies can leverage to their own benefit.
