End these tariffs on Canada. The trade war that collapsed last weekend is already costing real people real money, and the idea that it won't affect consumers is insulting. Procter & Gamble already warned it would raise prices on Charmin. Canada is hitting back with 25% to 50% tariffs on nearly 900 American goods starting September 8th. The US imported $328 million worth of toilet paper from Canada in 2024 alone — Canada is our single largest supplier. This hits grocery bills, not just trade spreadsheets.
The damage goes well beyond bathroom products. Canadian whiskey, dairy, fish, auto parts — all caught in this spiral. A 25% tariff on Canadian cars and parts threatens American manufacturing jobs, and Trump has threatened to double it to 50% by January 2027 if there's no deal. Jamieson Greer says "the fundamentals are good" and this won't affect anything. That's not a policy — that's denial. Push the administration to get back to the table and get this resolved before September 8th.
