Unfair the US should collect all those TAXES, and Canada get none.

To avoid the tax, just sell the goods to another market. But be very alert to straw man purchasers. (The straw men will probably win eventually, but tsf ends up w/egg on his face for having manufactured another unnecessary crisis.)
