That means we don't need to pour dump trucks full of tax money directly into large and established Canadian companies' pockets. But, instead, maybe we can diversify local suppliers and incentivize the development of smaller local businesses, and maybe crown corporation manufacturing and logistics?

The BC government on the ball with my thinking...

That's good to hear, but can their laid off employees and their customers weather it? That's going to be the question. Because that's probably how a lot of them are planning to deal with it. CEOs don't give a shit about you and they're not going to dip into their strategic assets or long-term investments or god forbid their compensation packages to pay a tariff or to pay anyone. They need that, you know? They don't need you.

The company might be able to. How about all the workers they fuck over while they try to survive, though?
