FFS yourself. Drama Queen. Yes, don't you?

I agree, the Canadian market is almost 2 million vehicles a year. Not being built in the US will be a requirement if I ever go shopping for a new car. Both my current vehicles were built in Germany and should last me another ten years with the mileage I put on them. Who knows, by then I might not be driving.

The US is now a country where you can be grabbed by ICE and shipped off to an El Salvador prison with zero due process. Regardless of how unlikely, why take the risk if you don't have to.

They say they are considering it. Time will tell if it is for real or just a contingency plan.

While it has its faults, it doesn't have the things that are destroying US democracy.

The Senate and House are dominated by Trump ass kissers, they haven't shown much interest in restraining him to date.

We'll see. I wasn't referring to the judicial system.

Because the USD was seen as the world reserve currency and the refuge in a storm, the US has been able to finance massive deficits and enjoy cheap stuff with an over valued dollar without facing the consequences. As countries and investors de dollarize and shun US treasury bonds because they see the US as unreliable, reality will start to hit home. Just about every country has seen its currency rise against the USD since March including the CAD as they are being seen as more reliable. Devaluation of the USD will do more to reduce US imports than tariffs.

I don't think you will like what you get.

Like those dipsticks would know anything about manual labour.

Investors dumping US government bonds

Trump now exempting smart phones and computers from tariffs on China. Doesn't like the idea of $3500 smart phones and $5000 laptops I guess. VAT and GST are tariffs in Trump's whacky world.

PEI has about the same population as Abbotsford BC.

When presented with facts your fall back is always to call someone a liar. Some things never change.

One day blip. Markets on the way down again today.
