 I have found the original source of the figures regarding the
 import tariffs on shoes and the costs thereof.  These figures
 originally came from the canadian shoe manufacturers association.
 They also say tariffs account for less than $.01 per person
 per day (in Canada).  Given the cost and the number of jobs in
 question (16000) and that I would pay at least some of this
 money in increased taxes (if the tariff was removed) I don't
 find this particularily significant compared to a lot of other
 issues that are available to worry about (that's only my
 opinion though).
