JUST FAIR ENOUGH

 The Prime Minister of Canada Hon. Mark Carney addressed the ASEAN Plenary economic Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He said it "right." No other explanation to justify the cause. 

The ad about former US Pres. Ronald Reagan was true, correct and factual, just that  Trump doesn't want to hear and the whole world to know.

Former W. McKinley doesn't like tariff either but he imposed tariff too. It will hurt Americans more than it will hurt other countries. Other countries especially Asian countries would just trade with their own countries within Asia. European countries would do the same. 

Without tariff, American goods and other foreign goods or products were already more expensive compared with locally produced then add tariffs then that's the end of trade and commerce. Just what Ronald Reagan said it will hurt Americans more than it will  hurt the other countries.

If Trump continues with his demand for tariffs, no other ships will be coming and going in American dockyards. Americans have to rely on their locally produced stuff. 

When I was in the Philippines in 1995, I noticed that the Philippines supermarkets such as Shoemart, Landmark & Rustan's already were patronizing Canadian products. Then with one million Filipinos in Canada, of course we are consumers/buyers of Canadian products from foods, clothing, cars, housing, and whatever is produced here locally. It is a give and take, buy and sell in fair trade and commerce.
