When Donald Trump launched his trade war with China, U.S farmers were compensated to the tune of, I think, $20 billion U.S., which would be the entire GDP of Newfoundland and Labrador or ten times the budget of Canadian agriculture and agri-food.
If you are going to do those things, you have to be aware of the cost and, as with the Americans, you have to be prepared to defend your values, to pay the price of your values. Your values carry a cost. Before speaking publicly about how you are going to defend them, you have to be prepared to pay the cost, or you undermine your values. If you're not willing to defend them after saying that you will, you undercut their value.
Regarding that $20 billion, I think it doesn't mean you don't do it; it just means you have to know the cost and be prepared for it.
