Tariffs are a tax on your groceries bill paid by the Government of Canada

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Where do I apply to have my groceries paid for by the Canadian government?

Do I get to decide which part? Because if so, I want either the Auditor General or the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner to suck at their jobs by personally doing so!

Shout out, Canada

You had me right up until "grocery bill". The US is a net agricultural exporter. Groceries are one thing tariffs have the least impact on.

Were these in Canada, or in the northern US?

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well that's idiotic reasoning. We import different things than we export. We're still paying tariffs on everything we import, which raises the prices of those products. And probably a lot of the other items, too, because corporations see an opportunity to mask their greed. Same thing happened during the pandemic.

We don't get tariffs back from the exports. These things don't cancel out

Don't kbow about "idiotic reasoning." It might be incorrect reasonong, or not quite right, or wrong, but idiotic? You have a better argument but I think it's worth trying for us to not be Reddit. 😄

How much is that coffee that you grow in the US? What about mangoes and many many other agricultural products.

Maybe think before posting and you won't look infantile.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How much of your grocery bill is coffee and mangos?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least 50%

How much do you have left for candles?
