It’s Tokyo Drift time, Canada.

That's grand.... What Killed All of Canada's Car Brands? (Spoiler: it's the US and tarifs).

“Which is more American? Toyotas built in the US? Or Fords built in Mexico?”

Pedonald mad?? Pedonald gonna cry??

Well, it’s a good thing I live where public transportation and even just straight up walking is not only viable but actually preferable!
Shame the rest of the country was too busy crying about “freedom” and is about to get rat-fucked as their only viable mode of transportation(as it stands because they have not invested in good cities and towns) more than doubles in price! And oooooh how it will be nice to see the stupid overly large, and overly expensive, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks be the ones to get hit the hardest.
I wonder which country will be fucked harder.

As usual, he has decided to implement a tariff without giving American businesses an alternative. Which hurts American businesses the most.
-
Encouraging domestic production is all well and good, but this doesn't do that. And besides, people like me are going to continue buying foreign vehicles for the manufacturing quality and durability.
-
Well that settles it. I'm not buying one of those Canadian car brands now.
You won't catch me dead driving a L'Automobile Candienne Maple Leaf SUV!

That's the thing: It's all bluff. The main goal is to scare away investments in the Canadian part of the industry. He's trying to sabotage out economy. What a fucking ally he is....
-
He's such a goblin.
-
It's not bluff when he actually does it. He did it last time, he just backed down afterward. But it wasn't like there was zero damage. And he hasn't backed down on other tariffs yet.
-
wait... canadian... cars?
-
Yeah people don't realize he isn't bluffing about any of this stuff. He is just trying to get as many concessions out of them before he implements the tariffs anyway.

use that syrup to tar and feather the shit orange trashbag

The only freedom's you'll have left is the ability to vote on what America names its version of the Lada

There are Canadian cars?
Edit: I read the article and no, these are American cars which are being made in Canada.

I get how shitty it would be for Canadian exports that have the tariff applied to them, but would it help some items become cheaper in Canada?
Now I understand that we do not do the final assembly or finishing on a lot of what is sent, but would we see it drive local prices down or would business try to justify higher prices to offset their loss (you know because it is the law of the universe that profits must always go up).
In the big picture, we stop shipping oil, we stop sending electricity and cars and or parts, keep food items here, in the long run would things become cheaper while we are looking for new markets to sell to, or while we are building our own systems to finish items where practical?
We as a nation cannot let that dumbfuck control our economy, every time it happens we say, "oh we need to diversify" and yet we never do because the US usually smartens up and sees us as an alie not an adversary, but I wouldn't count on that fron the US for quite some time as the government hasn't been sold to the tech douche bros and corrupt Republicans (or repugnicans).
