The US top export to Canada is auto’s and parts. Canadians buy more Ford F150’s from the US than we ship auto’s to you. We also buy trainloads of every other vehicle you make everyday of the week. Putting a tariff on our auto exports to you might not be help your auto workers.
I have family on both sides of the Niagara River and St. Lawrence.
It’s like a marriage. Both sides have to work at it. If they don’t it falls apart. Tariffs work both ways. The US market is substantially larger than the Canadian. Yes, Canada has raw resources and the ability to value-add. That is not the issue.
The issue is that China is sending value-added parts to Canadian assembly plants to avoid tariffs on their stuff by going through Canada. What Trump wants is to have Canada stop the Chinese from dumping their products into the US via Canada.
I don’t see how Canadians benefit from having Chinese parts put into products built and labeled Made in Canada. Wouldn’t it be better if Canadians and Canadian companies did that work?
