Does that means all types of targets? "Hunting or shooting requisites" seems mega-vague.

I don’t see anything gun related

u/airchinapilot 24d ago edited 24d ago
Yea I couldn't find anything, just some things that might affect hunting and fishing which we definitely overlap.
The tariffs on the various tools might affect our manufacturers.

Well as long as we’re not beefing with turkey, the Canadian gun community should be fine*

I'll take this opportunity to plug Grohmann Knives. Made in Pictou, NS and pretty affordable for an enthusiast knife brand. I just bought their #2 Trout & Bird knife for this hunting season. They've also just started making kitchen knives recently.

Yeah, I've got my fair share of Benchmades et al., but those were purchased years ago. Long before this whole tariff war.

u/Curious_Joe2020 24d ago
Don't worry it won't affect guns. RCMP has a huge order of Glock 45s on the way with some very expensive accessories like the optics and light all made in the USA. On the other hand they seem to have no problem freezing up and not approving your own pistol and Glock import transfers even with the exemption clearly in place and submitted and no change in regulations.

u/armyman69413 24d ago
In my skim though I saw no guns on there. But lots of other stuff that we all use. Which is going to make life super expensive. Until both sides have the leaders pull there heads out their buts and get to work.
edit: replaced there with their.

u/Some-Ebb-3464 24d ago
You can’t honestly believe both sides are the problem. It’s clearly a problem with one side in particular.

u/FranklinPrime 24d ago
Yeah, hate Carney all you want, Trump did this.
16
u/LongRoadNorth 24d ago
Nevermind hate, how fucking stupid do you need to be to actually think a trade deal with Trump is worth anything.
Not a fan of Carney but I like how he said any trade deal with Trump may as well be signed in pencil. The US will only honor it until Trump has another episode of dementia and chooses to hit us with tariffs.
For fuck sakes NAFTA or cusma whatever you want to call it hasn't even expired and it's the deal he signed his first term and he's not honoring it.

u/Ciggaris 24d ago
It most definitely is a problem with both sides. A big reason why they haven’t been able to come to an agreement is because both sides believe that the other is the reason for the dispute, which makes it harder to justify making reasonable concessions that would lead to a deal.
You guys who are saying Trump/The US is the issue are doing the exact same thing that the Canadian government is doing, which is looking at this trade dispute as BEGINNING when the US decided to impose tariffs when Trump came into office. Yes, that’s when this specific dispute began, im not arguing that, but the US grievances that led to this action relates to decades of perceived trade injustices during the “status quo” years, and to be fair to them, they have some perfectly valid reasons to want that to change.
If a trade deal will be reached the Canadian government has to recognize and address these points of contention in the “status quo”, rather than taking the stance that it’s the US’s fault that the status quo was ruined and therefore Canada is the aggrieved party here. Believe me, the US will be fine without us, we won’t be fine without them. Negotiation requires self awareness of one’s position and current leverage, without that, the dispute will continue indefinitely and we’ll just be stuck with political theatre and no results as we have been for the past year and then some.

“A big reason why they haven’t been able to come to an agreement is because both sides believe that the other is the reason for the dispute…”
To a criminal the courts are unreasonable, to a rapist the victim is unreasonable, to a besieging army the walled city is unreasonable. To a bad faith negotiator like Trump, anything short of complete surrender is unreasonable. That doesn’t mean both sides are unreasonable just because both sides think so. We can use our objective brains to analyze, see past and present behaviour and what both sides have put out to come to conclusions and determine who is more right and who is more wrong. No doubt some small percentage is to blame on Canada, but the overwhelming majority of blame lays at the feet of Trump and his team who have mixed, competing interests who put out conflicting and outrageous bad faith demands. I don’t know how you don’t see that, but that’s how it is. Can you name any deals Trump has done with other countries where he acted in good faith and both sides walked away for the better? Besides maybe Israel but that’s a whole other issue to delve into.

u/LongRoadNorth 24d ago
Nothing he does is in good faith. Any deal with Trump has to have a clear winner and clear loser. Trump has to be 'the winner'.
And it's not like he's a good businessman. For fuck sakes he background multiple casinos.

Love Carney playing the same dumb ass tactics as other shitty leaders. Yay we get to pay more in Canada!

u/Whispersfine 24d ago
So just cave in like Trump’s bitch? That’s your solution?

u/AssignmentPutrid3197 24d ago
No, keep negotiating. Don't impose new tariffs on Canadians to pay.
We literally screamed about this for months last time that tariffs are hurtful and regressive when Trump was introducing new ones. Why do we like tariffs now that Carney is abusing them on us?

u/Whispersfine 24d ago
So sit back and watch them tariff the fuck out of your Canadian exports? How is that fair for those businesses?

Not taxing us a fk tonne would have helped lol didnt think shooting ourselves in the foot meant being trumps bitch but here we are. Im surprised the response to Trump taxing his own citizens is a united front to tax our own.

u/Popular_Chocolate538 24d ago
Welcome to Reddit where the last 11 years of liberal taxes and shiet don’t matter cause trump is a big meanie stupid head >:(
(FYI I think this all silly but carney did promise us a deal and all he’s done is throw shit at the wall hoping something sticks)8
u/DireNight114 24d ago
We honestly should've just ignored them, theres no deal with trump. We were getting terrifs no matter what but ignoring them probably would've kept the tarrifs marginal. While we diversified trade and not taxed our own citizens for no reason.

u/midity 24d ago
It takes two sides to make a deal and one side (The US) is being actively shitty.
13
u/AssignmentPutrid3197 24d ago
Yes the US is negotiating in bad faith. That doesn't mean we need to support Carney introducing more taxes on Canadians!!!!
The dumbest people in the world are the "I always back my side" idiots who said last year "Tariffs are the devil" and now because its Carney doing it "We love tariffs"

Nobody says they love tarrifs. That's a total straw man, a made up character of people you aren't aligned with. The actual response I am seeing is more along the lines of "fight back even if it hurts"

Dude I don’t think ordinary Americans love tariffs either. If you don’t retaliate, people will start calling Carney Trump’s bitch for sure.
There’s no winner in this stupid game. We are not in it by a choice.

Ride it out till November and watch Trump lose the midterms and get impeached.

u/Bull-RunTheJewels 24d ago
The biggest thing I got from the AI scan is “nothing under HS chapter 93 (arms and ammunition) appears in the scope.
This makes me think if they were on the list it would be easy to see.
My thought is that they probably thought about it but they did the math and the cost to the Canadian military is too high and not beneficial to tariff themself. Also might harm military contracts or something along those lines. Not sure. Just my 2 cents

u/i-Hermit 24d ago
Umm what?
Feeding a list of 900 tarrif items and having it do impact analysis for the firearms community is a pretty decent use case for someone with an upgraded subscription to chatgpt/Claude.
1
u/Bull-RunTheJewels 24d ago
I did that. What type of analysis would you like?
Based on what’s on that page, no — this list doesn’t mention guns or firearms.
As of September 1, 2025, Canada’s counter tariffs only cover three categories: steel, aluminum, and autos. The huge table on that page (which goes on for hundreds of tariff line items) is all steel/iron products in the section I could pull — nothing under HS Chapter 93 (arms and ammunition) appears in scope. Most other U.S. products had their counter tariffs removed back in September 2025, so firearms aren’t part of the current countermeasures.
If you want, I can check the earlier (March 2025) list to see if firearms were ever included before being removed.AI says no

u/anANGRYkangaroo 24d ago
My comment is based on your AI giving you information dated 2025. Edit: The OP is referencing the newest list of Tariffs from August 2026

u/Bull-RunTheJewels 23d ago
The Canada.ca page states the current tariff list has been in effect since September 1, 2025 — that’s when Canada scaled back its counter tariffs to just steel, aluminum, and autos (removing counter tariffs on most other U.S. goods). The page hasn’t been updated with a newer effective date since then, so those September 2025 rules are still the current ones as of today, August 25, 2026.
So “as of September 1, 2025” was me citing the effective date named on the page — not saying it’s currently 2025.
