Potash is made by burning. ��

Canada has a lot burning, lol, not by choice.

Canada’s 2025 wildfire season now 2nd-worst on record

I believe the burn was so bad even US cities had air quality issues.

but modern Canadian potash is mined from underground mineral deposits and is not made from burning; most of its mines located in Saskatchewan.

You are relating apples to oranges.

Apples: A conventional tariff is a tax on imports designed to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Many economists consider it a harmful policy that creates economic inefficiency. It discourages free trade, raises consumer prices, and can provoke retaliatory tariffs from other countries, reducing overall economic welfare.

Oranges: A carbon tax is a Pigovian tax designed to correct a market failure like negative externality of pollution. Pollution is a societal cost that is not reflected in the market price of goods and services. A carbon tax internalizes this cost, making polluters pay for the harm they cause. The policy's goal is to improve the efficiency of the market by accounting for the true cost of carbon-intensive products, which drives innovation toward cleaner alternatives.

better equivalent would probably be Manchineel Apples ( [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) to Sanguinello Oranges [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Negative externalities
Definition: A cost that is imposed on an unrelated third party.

Oh. I want external externalities.

The term you're looking for, external externalities, is redundant in standard economics.

In economics, the term "externality" means the cost is experienced by a party external to the transaction. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
