THE MORNING RANT: By the Logic of Free Traders, Shouldn't Trump's Tariffs Be <i>Good</i> for Canada and its Consumers

THE MORNING RANT: By the Logic of Free Traders, Shouldn't Trump's Tariffs Be Good for Canada and its Consumers

There is something puzzling about the U.S. / Canadian trade war and the concern that Trump-hating “free traders”* have on how this will affect Canada. [*Actual free trade involves reciprocity, but those now identifying as “free traders” argue for unilateral surrender to foreign mercantilism, even when it involves hostile nations such as China.]

It is widely accepted that if President Trump doesn’t dial back his tariffs, Canadian industry will be devastated, its economy will be thrown into recession, and there will be widespread job losses and layoffs in Canada. I would agree that all sounds awful for Canadians, but over the past few decades, American “free traders” have argued in favor of inflicting on the U.S. the same economic despair that Trump is imposing on Canada. Free traders consider a dying industrial town in the Midwest to be a success story, while they sneer at the despair of their countrymen who have lost the dignity of employment. Closed American factories and a gross trade imbalance with hostile powers are celebrated by free traders.

Where are all the think pieces from Principled Free Traders arguing that it will benefit Canada to roll over and surrender in its trade war with the U.S., since that is the argument they make for U.S. capitulation to China?

David Harsanyi is representative of America’s “free trade” political class, arguing repeatedly that American economic sovereignty is bad, while dependence on hostile foreign countries is desirable. At least that is the clear message I receive. He has written for many legacy conservative publications, repeatedly arguing for economic surrender to China because it would help American consumers save money, while embracing China’s trade barriers on U.S. products. A few years ago Mr. Harsanyi wrote “Now, admittedly, I support nearly unlimited trade, no matter what other nations do.” He went on to say, “Let's hope trade doesn't get ‘fair’ for us any time soon.” Mr. Harsanyi even expresses his ideal of zero U.S. steel production, dismissing the argument that a domestic steel industry is necessary for national defense.

By these arguments, shouldn’t Canadians also hope that their trade war “doesn’t get fair any time soon”? Shouldn’t Canadians embrace tariffs that destroy their export market? Shouldn’t Canada seek the elimination of every possible job so as to lower consumer prices? And wouldn’t any retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada be a “tax on Canadian consumers” that should be avoided at all cost?

How devastating are the tariffs going to be for our northern neighbor if an agreement is not reached? A piece in the Globe and Mail titled “What Trump’s new tariffs mean for Canada’s economy” identifies multiple economic catastrophes, including:

• A collapse in exports that would reverse Canada’s GDP growth.
• Elimination up to 20% of jobs in many industries, including apparel and electrical equipment
• Devastation of Canada’s liquor industry.
• Serious harm to agriculture, especially Canada’s dairy industry
• Devastation of British Columbia’s lumber industry

The same free traders who cheered for the shuttering of American industry are suddenly worried about Canada, and defending Canada’s need to impose retaliatory tariffs. Go figure. It’s almost as if the abiding principal of “principled free traders” is that they are anti-American globalists who embrace economic policies that harm America while benefiting other countries.

Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, just stated that tariffs are necessary to protect Canada, arguing that the cost of tariffs “don’t come close to the cost of standing still.”

Free traders swooned in concurrence with PM Carney. “The Editors” at National Review defended Canadian retaliatory tariffs, arguing that it was a necessary escalation by Canada because the U.S. tariffs are a “blow for Canadian exporters.”

This is the same National Review that repeatedly argues for giving China unfettered, tariff-free access to the American market, irrespective of China’s trade barriers against American exports. Why would NR make this argument? Because, tariffs are a tax on American consumers, of course. Strangely, that same logic doesn’t apply to Canadian consumers when Canada is tariffing American products due to a trade war.

It’s almost as if the underlying “principal” among the “free traders” isn’t actually free trade, rather it is a globalist, America-last attitude that seeks to harm the U.S. economically for the benefit of other countries.

15 I am absolutely in favor of REAL free markets, but that's not what we have.

He went on to say, “Let's hope trade doesn't get ‘fair’ for us any time soon.” Mr. Harsanyi even expresses his ideal of zero U.S. steel production, dismissing the argument that a domestic steel industry is necessary for national defense.

Steel is still a good example, but chips are a better one. Should we allow China to simply take over any market they desire, using dumping and other strategies incompatible with an actual free market? What happens when we run out of missiles during an attack? What happens to the overall economy when the Chinese deny us the chips it relies on? Harsanyi doesn't seem concerned, but I am.

I guess one has to break a whole lot of eggs to make Harsanyi's omelet.

Everything since has been about countering the American hegemony. Pitiful examples of countries banding together to hen peck America into giving up its well-earned power on the geopolitical stage because no one else wants to do the hard work of actually building up a counterweight when they can just talk America into paying them to henpeck their benefactor.

78 41 31 I LOVED watching Scott Jennings point out to CNN that tariffs (which CNN 'opposes') get passed on to consumers in the exact same way corporate interest taxes (which CNN favors) get passed on to consumers.

Tariffs often affect consumers less than taxes because it's been shown that many importers will eat the tariff costs rather than pass them on in order to stay competitive.

Basically comes down to who has the most flexibility and leverage within a supply chain. If you're an essential part and the cost affects all your competitors, it'll get passed on to the customer, but if there's competition limiting your ability to raise prices you bear the burden.

"I don’t know quite how to ask this question, but I suspect that a lot of Americans are about to, so I’ll put it as directly as I can: Are Canadians stupid?

A recent poll found that a majority of Canadians, including a whopping three-quarters of Quebecers, believe that U.S. foreign policy was the root cause of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This shouldn’t be so shocking; their previous prime minister, Jean Chretien, said practically the same thing a few years back (which I wrote about in NRO here.) In other words, they believe that the Americans brought 9/11 on themselves."

More Humiliating News for Kamala Harris

The donor class certainly won’t bet on her again. She lost every swing state in 2024 despite raising and spending more than $1 billion to do it. Sorry, they’ll bet on someone else. Anyone else.

Now we’re learning that Democrat Party insiders knew Kamala was a losing bet before she ever got the job. Internal 2024 polling ranked her dead last among the candidates being considered to replace Joe Biden atop the ticket.

Lindy Li, a longtime Democrat fundraiser who worked on both the Biden campaign and Kamala's, watched it happen up close. Li ... lays out what she saw in her new book, Unburdened, which covers the months leading up to Biden's withdrawal from the race. "The polling numbers went directly against the narrative that the party wanted to espouse," Li said.

Party members floated Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer internally as replacements. According to Li, every one of them tested better than Kamala.

Posted by: illiniwek at September 18, 2026 11:24 AM (vbXSk)

The way to think about it is in terms of economic integration. Countries with which you have free trade(or relatively free trade) have integrated economies with yours. You also have indirect integration to economies they have free trade with(corresponding to the degree of freedom).

Small countries must necessarily trade and specialize. There's a lot of important questions, like "is this country likely to be my enemy in the future", "is this country a reliable source of supply or unstable", "is the supply chain defensible or vulnerable to wars/piracy" etc.

Additionally you'd also want the basis for the trade to be something beyond labor arbitrage. As in, "this country has accessible resources we do not", or at least a specialization of some sort it makes sense to outsource rather than develop internally.
