I don't understand this take.

We impose tariffs, then those goods get more expensive for Canadians to buy. Why do we want to punish ourselves?

Imo we should lower our tarriffs on other nations, make it enticing to buy somewhere else

Note the difference between import tariffs and export tariffs.

Export tariffs on oil would increase the price for the U.S buyers, at the cost of making the Canadian oil less competitive in that market.
