On September 8 Ottawa put a 50% tax on American cheese, appliances and clothing coming into Canada.
By that night Washington had answered. From September 29, Canadian whisky, wine, beer, whey and motorcycles may not enter the United States at all. Not taxed. Refused. The legal authority is a section of a 1930 tariff law that had never been used.
The Prime Minister says the goal is "ensuring that no country can hold us hostage."
Right goal. It applies to people too. Your dollar now buys what two governments allow, at prices two governments set, and the list changed twice in one day.
There is one thing on the shelf that neither capital gets a vote on. It crosses the border in your head.
