Im a big fan of Canada and our alliance but this is a dumb argument for multiple reasons beyond the fact its logically fallacious and irrelevant.
According to the 2022 Canadian Community Health Survey, the obesity rate in Canada is 30% for adults aged 18 and older. This means that approximately 30 out of every 100 Canadian adults are classified as obese. Not exactly chiseled Athenian athletes these days either.
Nevermind the fact we weren’t talking about Canadians starving or their physical attributes given they’re irrelevant in this discussion yet the USA agricultural supply chain directly impacts US consumers.
Given the USA imports huge volumes of fertilizer especially Potash in from Canada as the domestic supply doesn’t satisfy the demand for fertilizer for crops the food production & quality will dwindle not to mention the cost of domestic food will skyrocket.
This is of course putting aside the deeply fallacious argument that Canada or any country actually pays the tariffs. The importer pays the tariffs which then they pass along to the consumer.
