Taxpayers are burdened by that 5% in your example. Instead of enriching local rich people, just take that 5% and give to the poorest in the province as UBI.

- vdupras 2y agoSure, but the context is taxpayers being burdened with 25% tariffs and having to scramble for alternatives. The idea is to invest that hypothetical 5% to build resilience.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoTariffs are being placed by the US on imports i.e Canadian exports. Not sure how local resilience helps Canadian taxpayers against US tariffs since Canadian taxpayers and consumers are not going to pay the 25% tariffs, only Canadian exporters are affected.
- vdupras 2y agoThe logical consequence of those tariffs are counter-tariffs.
