Self inflicted harm - I’m doubtful that will get the outcome they are hoping for
- whynotmaybe 2y agoIs your comment about the US' tariffs or the Ontario's decision?
- starspangled 2y agoOr perhaps it's about existing Canadian tariffs?
- whynotmaybe 2y agoExactly my point. By definition, tariffs (wherever they are) are always self inflicted harm on the opposite of a libertarian ideology where as cutting a contract because you don't like the company is exactly that.
- starspangled 2y ago> By definition, tariffs (wherever they are) are always self inflicted harm on the opposite of a libertarian ideology where as cutting a contract because you don't like the company is exactly that. That doesn't mean it is not a "self inflicted harm" in essentially the same way, it just means you believe you have some justification that outweighs the harm. But there is no reason why you couldn't justify tariffs in some way (e.g., because you don't like the country).
