Thank you for running these, Canada! Too many of my fellow Americans are clueless about tariffs and how they are taxes that Americans pay. While the MAGA cultists are lost, there are many others who would have voted against Donvict Dementia if they knew what a tariff was back in October/November 2024. It helps now too because Republican Senators like Mike Lee and John Curtis need to be pressured to impeach donOLD Krasnov, for the benefit of both the States as well as our dear Canadian friends. It's appalling to see Republicans who pretend to be against unnecessary taxes supporting or standing silent on an issue that Republicans used to be solidly AGAINST.

How does anyone with an IQ above 70 not know this?? Are these billboards really necessary? What do they think tariffs are if not for a tax?

I work with tariffs daily but there are tons of people who are clueless. I think if you quiz the average person on the street and ask them how tariffs work, most of them will fail to define it correctly. A surprisingly large number don't know it's a tax on the importer. A surprisingly large number don't even know it's a type of tax.

It certainly is more cultured than them, at least.
