I agree it's a time to buy.  But I hold my stocks for a very long time...decades.

I also agree fairness is fairness.  The questions I have are this.  What was Canada's tariff on steel and aluminum before Trump imposed a 25% tariff?  What was Canada's tariff on autos and auto parts?  What was Canada's tariff on oil, natural gas or potash?  Trump complains about a high tariff on US dairy but he fails to mention that US dairy is heavily subsidized and has a tariff on imports of 71 cents per liter.  He also fails to mention that the US has a tariff free quota into the Canadian market that they have never ever filled.
