Canada Retaliatory Tariff: 15% on US Goods
âš This is a flightplan, not a commitment.
Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the
Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted
into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation
model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview
Canada retaliates against US 25% tariffs with a 15% counter-tariff on American agricultural products, bourbon, steel, and consumer goods. Raises customs revenue but increases consumer prices and risks escalation spiral.
Ducklings Simulation
This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 11).
The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with
strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop
limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
