The #Canadian government is bombarding #voters in key swing states with anti-trade war #propaganda as President Donald #Trump vows to enact his biggest package of #tariffs yet next month.

Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.

@SeanCasten
logic is not their strong point and they are hoping that nobody will notice.

keep it simple, #Tariff are a #tax on the people of US . We should be calling it the "republican tariff tax" #RTT.

It's like the income tax only its on what you buy not what you earn. Not any different than a national sales tax.

It is also a #regressiveTax, what you pay, as a percentage of what you earn, is higher on #poorPeople

It also allows other corps to raise the price of their goods.
