Mike Campbell: 我认为特朗普关税不仅仅是一个国际贸易问题,它更深刻地揭示了加拿大自身经济政策的缺陷。多年来,我们对经济增长的漠视,以及对气候变化、社会议题的过度关注,导致我们在面对外部冲击时显得异常脆弱。现在,我们必须承认,这种短视的政策选择已经严重削弱了我们的经济基础,使得我们在与美国的贸易谈判中处于劣势。我呼吁政府重新审视其经济政策,将经济增长置于优先地位,否则我们将面临更严重的经济衰退。 Joseph Steinberg: 作为一名经济学家,我深知贸易战的复杂性和破坏性。特朗普政府的关税政策,无论其意图如何,都将对加拿大经济产生深远的影响。我的研究表明,关税持续的时间越长,对加拿大经济的损害就越大。更令人担忧的是,特朗普政府将贸易政策武器化,破坏了国际贸易的稳定性和可预测性,这不仅损害了加拿大的利益,也对全球经济造成了长期的负面影响。我认为,加拿大需要采取更加灵活和务实的策略,与美国进行谈判,同时积极寻求多元化的贸易伙伴,以减轻对美国市场的依赖。 Mike Levy: 我对特朗普政府的关税政策感到非常失望。我认为这种政策不仅损害了加拿大的利益,也损害了美国自身的利益。事实上,许多美国企业和消费者已经开始感受到关税带来的负面影响,他们正在向特朗普政府施加压力,要求取消关税。我认为,加拿大应该与美国各界建立更广泛的联系,争取他们的支持,共同反对这种短视的贸易保护主义政策。同时,我们也应该积极寻求与墨西哥等其他国家的合作,共同应对美国的贸易挑战。
