## Resource

Economist Justin Wolfers described President Trump’s proposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, initiated via the 1930 Tariff Act, as a "surprisingly big deal" due to their aggressive escalation. While some analysts suggest the economic impact might be muted, the move faces intense backlash for creating trade volatility and impacting consumer prices.
