Tariffs are a tax on consumers...who do you think pays for them and where do you think the revenues go.

1. I haven’t proposed tariffs. I’ve condemned free trade. Free trade as we have it equates to pushing jobs overseas.

2. In the end the consumer pays for all costs.

3. If the consumer doesn’t have a job they aren’t buying squat.

A level playing field would be nice. I talk to Canadian businesses and their govt actually helps them get business instead of making it harder.
