I've been working not in canada the last little bit, but those of you who are, how has some of this uncertainty affected you? Genuinely curious.
The part that always gets me about the news and the politicians talking about this stuff, is they always talk so broadly, they talk in billions of dollars of goods, and very broad product categories, and in my head I was just thinking like is there somewhere where what is impacted and not impacted is clearly layed out? Like if I was a business trying to navigate what the fuck was going on would I even be able to keep track? How are the officials who are meant to administer this able to know what they are supposed to do?
Like I mean they announce a tariff it goes on at 12:01am, and then 12 hours later they back off of it? For that 12 hours did customs agents really collect 25% tariff on a few thousand trucks worth of stuff that came over the border? Is there reports on how much money is being gathered?
I'm just so confused at how this is working. In my head I am imagining a situation similar to the GST holiday, where most retailers were like fuck we'd rather not have this cause we have no idea what is and isn't counted cause the list is so confusing.
