With all the tariffs being imposed on Canada, I would really like us Canadians to cease and desist immediately ALL shipments of all products produced here in this country and delivered to the US. No steel, no aluminum, no gas, no oil, no electricity, nothing! The weight of the lack of Canadian goods will quickly descend on your country, devastating your economy, destroying everyday life. This frightening event might kick start the population into kicking Trump and his cronies in the political butt, and wake up those complacent fools who think this might all just go away. You don't have 3 1/2 years to dinkle around. Your jobs, your futures, you health, your way of life is being destroyed. The most respected and revered country in the world is now viewed as a pariah.

(8,744 posts)I don't know why but I noticed Canadian syrup on sale at Kroger about a month ago and I bought two, I think it was half gallons.
I can ration that until this nightmare is over.

I'm sure other countries are thinking of cutting their losses and telling Trump and the US to go pound sand.

(12,746 posts)...and then let California, Oregon, and Washington become the 11th Canadian province? I'd move back to Washington if that happened.

(22,230 posts)The tariffs are on Canadian goods, US consumers pay them.
The purpose of a tariff is to reduce imports. Cutting imports off would not change the purpose of them.
With approximately 12% of US imports coming from Canada I think you overestimate the effect an embargo would have on the US economy. Would it cause difficulties- yes, Devastating?- unlikely
