this question depends entirely on the industry and specific situation. Blanket tariffs like Trump did are absolutely brain-dead but targeted tariffs can be good.

Increase or add tariffs on goods from countries that take advantage of their citizens and have a reputation of poor workers rights.

Should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Sweeping tariffs aren't good, but in certain situations can protect certain industries.

Only if tariffs are imposed on us first, tariffs are a stupid idea and only cause consumers to suffer unless private companies willingly chose to earn less profit which has been proven not to happen

 @B35PD2Qfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes but a proportional and strategic way to get other nations to reduce or eliminate tariffs against Canada

 @9WK3LGVfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

This is not an all question there are times when tariffs are necessary this is a case by case situation.

 @9WBTJ7Sfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes.It needs to be 100% tarrifs. Our country should become selfsustaining again and not rely on the global market.

 @B244VCMfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I think this should be done on a case to case basis. If the states adds the 25% tariffs then yes we should counter
