tariffs are hard.

but, i'm actually pretty strenuously opposed to these kind of wto agreements that reduce a country's sovereignty - meaning i actually think we should have never agreed to this provision in the first place. i consequently have no opposition to this legislation - i would support the removal of canada from the wto altogether.

but, understand what's happening here: we're suspending a rule put up by the wto to protect ourselves from the consequences of the slow unraveling of nafta. your new world order is over - we're back to having a history again.

but, tariffs are still hard, and i hope that the government remembers that before it starts using them haphazardly.
