Ships, containers at port Storyline Canadians voiced strong support Tuesday for their government’s retaliatory tariffs on the United States, even as they worried about the impact on the economy and daily life. On Tuesday, the Canadian federal government announced tariffs on over 700 U.S. products worth 27.6 billion Canadian dollars (about 20 billion U.S. dollars), along with a 7.5-billion-Canadian-dollar aid package aimed at supporting domestic businesses and workers. Officials said these countermeasures match the total value of Canadian products targeted by the latest 50-percent U.S. tariffs, achieving a "dollar-for-dollar, rate for fate" response. The counter-tariffs are scheduled to take effect officially on Sept. 8. The Finance Ministry's list of targeted products includes sectors like steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, with tariff rates categorized into three tiers: 15 percent, 25 percent, and 50 percent. "I think the tariffs will probably affect daily life. A lot of people depended on their businesses becoming entwined with the U.S., so probably we will see some amount of suffering. But I think to keep the sovereignty of our country, we're probably prepared to do that," said a resident named Shannon. Another resident, Omar, suggested that diversifying trade relationships with other countries could be beneficial to Canada. "There are so many other places we can trade and do business with. I think if we start branching out a little bit more, like with Asia, doing more deals with them and stuff, it will be a lot better," he said. Meanwhile, Americans are expressing dissatisfaction over rising costs due to tariffs. "As a consumer in the U.S., everything is, you know, the costs are increasing and now Canada is coming back with tariffs. And we've got the tariffs from everybody else and now Canada. So yes, it's not good for us," said Thomas and Ann, U.S. tourists. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
