The US tariffs are applied with no basis in reality. Unless you could somehow magically move the entire supply chain for goods into the US at once businesses' costs will go up with widespread tariffs applied. Because of how worldwide all supply chains are these days this is a completely impossible task. Not to mention the higher labour costs and lack of workers willing to do those jobs in the country.

Most businesses don't have the runway for an unstable business environment and it is in their best insterests to diversify out of uncertain markets. Hopefully we continue to see more companies look towards Canada as an option for serving their international customers. I'm all for incentivizing this as long as we aren't selling out the benefits of these companies bringing tax dollars into the country.
