Trudeau hits back at Trump by announcing massive tariffs on the United States: ‘Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered’

Say you have two products: one from USA ($110) and the same from Canada ($100). Now we impose a tariff of 25 pct on the Canadian product ($125).

This means that consumers are going to buy the cheaper product, resulting in less income for the Canadian manufacturer.

The USA manufacturer can increase the price to $120, and still be cheaper than their Canadian counterpart. All while prices for customers are increasing
