    Buying stuff from the US isn’t affected by US tariffs!?

    Tariffs would be when you sell things to the US, and even then you’re not the one paying them, it’s just the US government charging its citizens extra to buy things

    I know it’s tough to wrap one’s head around an idea so fervently championed yet obviously self-defeating XD

      No, the concept is trivial. I just point out that the coefficient isn’t important if the value is zero. And Canadians can make it zero at least at one direction.
