    Im skeptical that anything positive will come of this for either of our countries anyway. Things will just continue to get progressively worse for the working class.

      Tariffs can have certain benefits if wielded with finesse in the right circumstances. Trump uses anything he has like a blunt object. The goal of the retaliatory tariffs was to cause key parts of America pain, rather than mostly Canada feeling the pain of these tariffs.

      As for helping the working class. No tariffs are better than tariffs for that working class, but that group has been neglected or targeted for a long time.
