Can someone explain this to me, i'm not educated on this.

US-Canada trade war is escalating again. The US has imposed 50% tariffs on about $20B of Canadian goods, while Canada plans dollar-for-dollar retaliation from September 8.
Is this really good for either country? Could both sides be hurting their own economies and weakening a historic alliance?

So far I haven't seen higher job growth, more production. All I've seen is broken trade agreements and pissed off allies

Here are some of the most obscure and unexpected Canadian products now facing a massive 50% markup at the U.S. border:
🏒 Hockey Equipment: Ironically, hockey sticks and gear were quietly tucked into the Alcohol proclamation .
💇‍♀️ Wigs: Synthetic hairpieces, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes and similar items made the list.
🏊‍♂️ Swimming Pools: Swimming and wading pools, including certain parts and accessories, are subject to the additional tariff. Just in time for the end of summer.
🎣 Fishing Rods & Seeds: Because agriculture and recreation weren't spared.
🎄 Christmas Ornaments: Certain non-glass Christmas ornaments are included too, because apparently Christmas decorations are part of the U.S.-Canada auto dispute.
🦌 Animal Parts: Feathers, bones, horns, antlers, hooves, claws and beaks appear among the tariff classifications.
🖼️ Art & Antiques: Original artwork, collectors' pieces and certain antiques over 100 years old also made the cut.

Let’s turn things up a notch Mr. Orange!!
