The radio today was using $2,000 per Canadian as the annual cost of new united states tariffs ( I don't blindly accept that #, but it really helped me read and accept your logic ).
$2,000 to low income earners - problematic.
As incomes rise, $2,000 becomes less of an issue.
And " lower taxes for all " is therefore not the answer.
Agree PP is taking a simplistic approach and it’s inadequate. First party to commit to helping all impacted workers by the tariffs will have a huge first mover advantage this election. Deficits be damned.
Poilievre’s response to everything is cutting taxes. Preferably the carbon tax. Does not matter what the problem is. Cutting taxes is the answer. Always.
Unfortunately we are dealing with a president who does not only create his own facts, he also invents his own economic theories. It is impossible to negotiate with a person like that. The only way is for the American public to feel as much pain as possible, and soon as possible. Therefore Canada’s response (ideally coordinated with Mexico) needs to immediate and forceful.
Regarding the Liberal leadership race and the elections that will likely follow, it is not hard to see who people prefer in this situation. All Carney has to do is point out that it is not so simple as giving everybody a tax cut and he will have won both elections.
