Canada has single-payer ("free") health care, and plans to introduce a national carbon tax. There's a narrow socio-economic gap in school results[0].

Tell me again how the United States has better health care, environmental protection, and education?

No, the tariffs should be pointed in the other direction. It is however probably not efficient for a smaller economical power to set up tariffs like that.

But I think the problem is more related to China, India and other upcoming "tigers".
