more carefully Under free trade we will pay less for American made goods This Is significant Each time the Government protects businesses from International competition we pay more Yet competition Improves the goods we buy and helps keep prices In line That s why Japanese cars now make up about a quarter of the North American market even though they are no longer cheap Japanese automakers try to give us the goodquail ly cars we want The crisis In the auto industry drove home what a doubleedged sword competition can be Cars from the har East were cheaper and better than our own So we bought

cat them year round When shop in the United Stales our Canadian dollar Is only worth about cents Even with this big currency difference many things are cheaper south of the border The trick Is to get them across without paying duly a problem has made smugglers of thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens II the goods you are bringing in are over your allowable duly free limit you could be hit with tariffs of up to IS per cent With free trade you won t have to cross the border to take advantage of lower prices Fruit wine and other foodstuffs will be on the shelves at your local grocery or II store at new low prices Many of these will be products that were not sold In Canada before because the price after adding tariffs would nave been too high Ontario for example marks up foreign wine prices as much as per cent Under free trade this will change But not all the cost savings will find their way to consumers With tariffs gone the sellers may see an opportunity to mark up their prices and fatten their profit margins This will happen where they have no com petition or where Canadian goods are more expensive Which leads us to another effect of free trade The inflow of low priced American goods will put pressure on companies lower llitlr prices This wilt depress profit margins in Canada at luist until Canadians become Against the odds Last spring Sheridan College formed a
