Mark Carney highlighted that the tariffs would negatively impact them instead of us.

At present, we are experiencing a 25% rise in the prices of food, coffee, clothing, and essential household items, while Loblaws implements price increases across the board. The United States has largely remained indifferent. On the other hand, Canadian families face anticipated financial losses between $1,600 and $2,000 annually.

This is not a government taking a stand against a foreign opponent; it is a government waging conflict against its own populace. The consequences of this trade war are extensive and severe. The average Canadian household is already struggling financially, and this additional burden will only worsen their situation. It goes beyond simple budget adjustments; it raises crucial concerns about whether families can afford necessities like food, rent or mortgage payments, and other basic needs. The most vulnerable segments of our society—such as low-income families, seniors, and single parents—will bear the heaviest burden. Moreover, these tariffs will impact not only households but also the broader economy. As prices climb, consumer spending is likely to drop, which could hinder economic growth and even lead to recession. The adverse effects will reverberate across various sectors, from manufacturing to services, resulting in job losses and business closures. It is shocking that our government is willing to engage in a trade war that ultimately harms its own citizens. One cannot help but question the long-term rationale behind this approach. Is it a misguided effort to assert control or a desperate attempt to save a failing economic strategy? Whatever the motivation, the repercussions will be severe, and it is vital for our leaders to place the well-being of Canadians above ideological or political considerations.
