Document It

Not all tariffs have the same meaning or function.
Canada's tariff on foreign milk was a throw-away: so high
it meant no one would pay it, and Canadian milk
farmers could plan production in a sensible manner.

The current tariffs the US is imposing on aluminium
and steel do get paid, and will affect prices in its production
chain. The economic effects could be many, and need
to be documented.
