I call B.S.

Read the article. We export steel and Canada is a dominant supplier of our imports.

Do you think the fracking industry was a result of tariffs against foreign oil? If we’d have put tariffs on foreign oil, I’d wager domestic oil companies would have been much more powerful and would have discouraged independent oil drillers from ever starting the fracking revolution that saved our butts.

Tariffs are a terrible idea and directly tax our own people while making our own exports less competitive.

As for “fair” trade, one person’s fair is another person’s squealing unfairness. That’s called competition. Someone is always losing to someone else.
