Upcoming Canadian tariffs on books coming from the US will hit independent Canadian bookstores hard since many of the books, including by Canadian authors, come through publishers and warehouses in the US. Cdn govt looking for feedback here: forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cm7upm...

Tariffs on books will hurt Canadian authors with US publishers. A 25% tariff on all books coming from the US is going to hurt all our Canadian bookstores as well. Oppose these two specific codes: 4901.99.00 and 4903.00.00. Register your response here:
