45 to 75 cents a gallon more for gas per gallon in Midwest if Trump tariffs Canada?

 Yes. This appears to be correct. So, on top of the 1000 Dollars per year extra for the average family that Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China are going to load on to that family (Nationwide), the Midwest especially is going to be paying 45 to 75 cents per gallon more for gasoline because of the Tariffs against Canada.

I can see Midwesterners literally up in arms about this as well as other parts of the country because of the harm these Tariffs are going to do to the average person. The main result of the tariffs likely will be Homeless people by the dozen who have to move out of their apartments nationwide in order to be able to still have food to eat. Because if it's a choice between having a place to live or food to eat there's not contest. People need to eat to live. It's like to have a place to live but if you cannot pay for both food and rent people stop paying rent.

Also, not figured into all this are the reverse tariffs blocking sales of everything made in the U.S. to Mexico, Canada and China.
