      One guy said the tariffs on Canada were needed bc Canada tariffed some of the US product at 100%. I asked for a source and to his credit he sent me a legitimate document from the government. Problem was he did not understand it was a court document because the US had a trade dispute between the United States and Canada regarding dairy tariff rate quotas (TRQs) of reserving 85-100% of 14 separate dairy tariff rate quotas. It wasn’t a 100% tariff.
