In Canada, government imposes punitive taxes or prohibitions on Canadian consumers, including of dairy, alcohol products from the U.S. (the sales of which are banned in some provinces), and cars. In a supposed effort to induce the Canadian federal and provincial governments to curtail these punitive policies, Donald Trump has just proposed to raise punitive taxes on American consumers, notably through a new 50 per cent tariff on those who buy paper products, cement, wood products, dairy, honey, essential oils, hockey equipment, and certain alcoholic beverages from Canada.
