This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’d do an ad that says: “We don’t pay the tariffs. You do” — Canada
Which is pretty true. But it's funny because Canada has tougher tariffs on the US meaning their people pay more for things there for exactly the same reason. Canada charges a 300% tariff on dairy.
So yeah. Tariffs are bad. Let's get rid of them entirely.
Canada can also meet most or all of its own dairy needs. There's no reason a Canadian should be buying dairy from other countries aside from a few niche/luxury products, so that tariff is fine.
Charging tariffs on things a country needs to import is crazy.
