    Canada?! Why the hell would he do that to Canada of all places? None of this makes any sense whatsoever. The US doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity to do anything for itself. It’s just going to make consumer goods ungodly expensive.

      Canada spent the last 80 years basing policy and trade directly in support of American interests. At the expense of building trade agreements with China and even europe. Canada is fucked with tariffs. It’s going to throw us into a recession as all prices will be going up. We get most of our stuff from the USA.

        Canada is already in a recession, if you take housing out of the calculation. Because of our housing situation, it’ll probably do some absolutely bonkers depression type thing.

      Both Canada and Mexico doesn’t make sense. NAFTA has made it that supply chains in those countries are heavily reliant on crossing the border. Like I think cars manufactured on the continent have parts that cross the border multiple times. It’s gonna be like a fucking compounding tax on cars lmao.

      A pickup is gonna cost like as much as a house.
