Ottawa responded to previous U.S. tariffs by targeting goods produced in districts represented by Republicans ..
The United States slapped import tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in 2018, before removing them last year as part of a broad free trade deal now in force.
Canada retaliated that time with $16.6 billion in tariffs on U.S. products, including ketchup, ballpoint pens, licorice, orange juice, whisky and toilet paper. At the time, Canada focused on products that would cause pain in electoral districts held by key Republicans, something that could be done again given the U.S. election is only three months away.

Oh fiddler, your post is absolutely hilarious,  .. so, Canada is going to start fighting back with, ''targeting goods produced in districts represented by Republicans''!  And .. how are the Canadians going to know which goods were made in districts represented by Republicans? |

Some think that in a 4D universe if you travel far enough you'll return to where you started.. I think you've just stretched the notion of "election interference" to within sight of the back of your head. Good job.

Trudeau's reading of the tea leaves must've informed him Trump's gone in short order. No other way he risks pissing off Trump and starting a tariff war he can't win.

BUT.... If Trump wants to start a war, who better than the Canucks? Think of the money we'd save in transportation costs. AND, if we take them over, they get rid of The Looney! Win-win!
