    And this is how tariffs should work - not targeting the whole countries randomly but protecting the local industries and jobs instead against unfair competition. Good job Canada!

        I had not heard this nickname before and am generally not fond of giving politicians silly nicknames, but if the shoe fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
