Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs signed today

Trump’s proposed #tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, could make produce 🍅, and everyday staples pricier. I spoke with @washingtonpost.com on how trade policies could lead to more sticker shock at the grocery store — from 🥑 toast to your favorite🍺.

The truth is coming out on the carbon tax
The truth is no match for an honestly told lie. Witness the disconnect between what we know about the carbon tax in Canada and the way it’s perceived by large swathes of the public.

The bottom line: Tariffs won’t lower food prices—they fuel inflation and burden producers, consumers, and taxpayers.
