We often forget that tariffs impose extra costs on businesses that must import machinery and materials and pay their workers more to compensate for the extra cost of living caused by tariffs. They also lose out on economies of scale. Unilateral global free trade reduces overhead costs and free businesses to buy the best machines and materials on world markets, reduce consumer costs and so allow businesses to pay workers less without harming their quality of life. Let's think outside the box here. Trudeau was a fool to take on an elephant like the US head on like he did. When David faces Goliath, he can't fight using the same strategy Goliath would use.
