Canada started the tariffs, this is just the equal response to them. They started the trade war.

Please explain how that would work. Enquiring minds want to know.

i’m always for free and fair trade…too many countries are prohibiting that from happening…US include

Depends on effect of the tariffs. If it allows short term purchasing power gain, probably,
If it helps to re-invigorate manufacturing, probably not. But, who is going to buy products produced by the US if their economy is based on US trade, and we aren't buying their stuff. They trade their goods for our dollars. When their goods are significantly de-valued, they won't get enough dollars to buy our goods.
I think Canada could be royally hosed. Mexico and China less so.
A strong middle class is essential for a strong America.
The question is if we have the stomach for short term pain to realize long term benefits.
If we drive other countries into depression... won't this infect us as well.
Or do you feel we can produce everyhing we need right here at home.
I'm not sure that ever worked or why would the Euros have set out to discover other lands/peoples?
In today's world every product has international matrials/components... what will your vibrant middle class be producing and for whom?
You need be humble, then learn how China built its vast & complex global supply chain in past 20 yrs
I'm just responding to one point of your post.
All signs lead to the destruction of US economy and market crash. In short, a recession.

Trump's first-term tariffs on China were so bad that Biden immediately never reversed them.

many companies have been moving production out of china. Tariffs and IP theft are to blame. Vientn
am and India will be winners of the shift. The tariffs won’t be good for us until other countries blink. American manufacturing will take a generation to come back.
