From makeup to smartphones to kitchen appliances, the federal government is laying out its plan to hit the U.S. with dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs that will impact around 700 different American products, while also announcing supports for Canadian workers and businesses, such as temporary changes to employment insurance.
The tariffs will be imposed on $27.6 billion worth of U.S. imports with tariffs varying from 15, 25 and 50 per cent depending on the product. The levies will be effective starting Sept. 8.

Hand Tools is a huge one.
Klein, Snap-off and Estwing about to have a really bad day.
But then it also includes hand-held power tools!
I hate how lazy these asshole news companies have got. This whole sentence: "Air conditioning machines, meanwhile, are among the shorter list of products being slapped with a 15 per cent tariff." Could have been said list and actually been informative. And where's the source to the actual fucking list? I need to know how fucked my company is, not some vague bullshit "things like..." list. Is this writer got AI brairot, or am I asking too much?
Global news put out the full list. https://globalnews.ca/news/12034101/canada-tariffs-us-list/
Thank you! Most things on that list are far more important than air conditioners.
