Id like 2 "Para-Phase" in the 1980s half this Globe was still riding "Bicylces" or walking.

Now they all want CARS  too.

We should have kept our "Markets" Shut Too much better off that way too..

But "No" lobbyists & Wall Street Wanted it that way too & "Free Trade" Republicans so "Here We Are" TODAY
 

I would like to see the Playing Field leveled between USA businesses that must abide by many regulations that add burden to their ability to survive alongside other countries that don't need to abide by environmental regs, employer safety or any of the other regulations that add to the cost of doing business in the USA.
How badly do you want to see the "Playing Field" leveled...?
Does anyone have a better solution than imposing tariffs and deportations...?

Tariffs are a bit more complex than what most economists believe. I am actually in the camp that they are slightly deflationary because they slow GDP growth. The "inflation" caused by higher import prices is overridden by the lower total transaction sum.

Anyway, Canada should not be a concern based on your criteria ("unfair / not level playing field")...unless Trump is trying to extract political concessions from them.

This doesn't get much attention in the news, but I think Trump's beef with Canada is how they are becoming a way for more and more  Third World Primitives to enter the USA.
As far as Canadian goods are concerned...I see Maple Syrup, pine lumber,   Lululemon, Molson Coors, Blackberry  and cranberries at the top of that list.
Canada's share of the automotive industry has been in decline in recent years..so I'm not sure what our economic imbalance with them is.

With Mexico our automotive trade imbalance is $106BN in their favor.
It seems that if Mexico can be allowed to hold a dominant position in auto making that should encourage their own people to stay put....but modern day auto making isn't labor intensive enough to keep huge masses of people working.
THANKFULLY...we are getting some relief from the "good old days" when the average Mexican woman was pooping out nearly 7 kids each.......

It's called Comparative Advantage..it is a fundamental economic concept. 

Absent that, and fractional reserve banking, you'd be wearing  burlap and eating silage.

what would induce domestic producers to forgo the opportunity to raise prices under the tariff "umbrella"?

Skill less, talentless and helpless people like you are way more dependent on the wonders of fractional banking than people like me.
