President Donald Trump is all going to feel outrage at 25 percent of the fees on Canadian aluminum and steel – if we have not already started.

No one will be happy at work Recession It is already Hamilton, Ont. And work losses, instant and downward, they occur. No one will be happy to pay the highest prices of American -made goods that increase in prices due to the high cost of raw materials within their country.

At the liberal headquarters, they may be disappointed… Americans beat them in punishing the Canadian steel sector. Worse for steel production is bad, remember? To pay large pollutants.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau forgot about climate concerns on Tuesday, instead chose a professional line. “Canadian steel and aluminum charges will be completely unreasonable,” he said Stated Reporters at an artificial intelligence summit in France.

“Canadian steel and aluminum are used in many major American industries. It is a safety, shipbuilding, production, energy, vehicle. We make North America very competitive together.”

On the one hand, this is a welcome news – especially for people who have jobs in southern Ontario. On the other hand, it is difficult to believe this is real. The current government has taken on anti -industrial stance from the beginning, and continues to grind all those who depend on Canada’s natural resources and processing them as factory -ready entries.

“Make sure we do what we are going to do, the government is not paying, not the taxpayer we pay, but the big pollutants pay,” he told CTV’s Todd Pattis.

“Is it not disappointing in the end?” Asked Pattis.

“No,” Carney replied. “Because big companies produce large quantities. We are not consuming products. There are some components of it, but… you know, a steel company, how much steel you are using these days.

In fact, 98 percent of Pantis and his audience did not send 18 -wheelers to the Stellco Band to take orders of steel rods and aluminum sheets. But what Carni is forgotten is that all the equipment, their driving cars and the accessories they need, all the new buildings and metal needed to be built every week to cool the local home prices (good luck).

For the highest climate emission targets that cannot guarantee any actual change in global temperature, we can expect to pay more premium to live if Carni does what we can to stimulate the prices of these metals we use every day.

Unfortunately, Trump makes a similar mistake: when Carni believes that Canadians do not need steel, the US president forgets that it needs it for his own country. Quarter of the US steel imports Come from CanadaCompetition in the US market by providing a low price option to manufacturers. Expect them to reduce them and rise.

The consequences go into our homes: the utensils of the utensils are made Ohio And Kentox. Washing machines are made South Carolina. If the raw materials are high, Americans may expect to pay more for American -made goods. In the meantime, no equipment is done in Canada, which makes it imported from abroad – even from people who make our steel fees.

Regular consumers are squeezed on both sides: in the United States, we have a short view fee hawk, and he will offer more prices for his people and will go through his last attempt; In Canada, we have an economic nervousness, and its heir is still hungry.
