Answer 2

In the 1930s Canada decided to raise taxes on goods imported in the United States in retaliation for the high tariffs that were created by the Hawley-Smoot Tariff. The Hawley-Smoot Tariff raised tariffs on nearly 20,000 imported goods to the United States to extremely high levels. This policy was put in place in an effort to protect American jobs following the Great Depression, but instead closed the U.S. economy off to the global market most likely hurting the American economy further.
