You didn't. There's more than two of us here. Others were wondering why I had a change of heart.

OK if you are importing a classic car - a 68 Dodge Charger R/T - that you paid 96K American for BPT to pay 46K Canadian in tariffs and taxes.
AND they taxed the tariff.....
BTW I didn't import a car but someone in Winnipeg did. It is now sitting in North Dakota.

Suckers. I've seen enough television to know that 60s-era Chargers can just jump over the customs booth and run from the cops without ever getting caught.

Its ridiculous. Taxing a tariff is as low as you can get.

Small business... the economic canary in the coal mine
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says small business confidence dropped to an all-time low in March as the trade war with the U.S. ramped up.
The federation says its business barometer long-term index fell 24.8 index points to 25.0 in March.
Measured on a scale between zero and 100, an index reading below 50 means owners expecting their business’s performance to be weaker over the next three or 12 months outnumber those expecting stronger performance.
Simon Gaudreault, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president of research, says no one knows when the tariff war will end, and businesses are worried the worst is yet to come.

If I were buying stuff like that right now, I'd put it in storage in the US if it were cost-effective compared to paying a tariff. (I assume it's one of those things where the opportunity to buy can't simply be passed up. People should act with their wallets by curbing discretionary purchases and let the politicians on both sides of the borders eat the recession they are determined to bring about.)
