Chrissy1979 Posted August 23, 2025 Report Posted August 23, 2025 Tariffs are duties, which are taxes. Crazy word salad. Cadillacs are cars and they are GM vehicles too. That must blow your mind. Quote

LinkSoul60 Posted August 23, 2025 Report Posted August 23, 2025 9 hours ago, paxamericana said: Stellantis operates three manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Canada: Brampton Assembly, Etobicoke Casting, and Windsor Assembly. The Brampton and Windsor plants are assembly plants, while the Etobicoke facility is an aluminum casting plant. Stellantis is also investing in a new electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor. Quite literally across the lake. With higher tariff it does not make sense to manufacture in Illinois because you would have to pay tariff every time a component crosses the border. Why not just make it in one country and pay the taxes once. You struggle with geography.... Brampton or Etobicoke are not 'quite literally across the lake' from Windsor, they're a ~3 hour drive on the 401. Across the lake is New York. So, in whatever you're trying to rationalize you're agruing against that your own thread title 'US Manufacturing is coming back! Trump destroy critics!'. Well done... And for what it's worth, vehicle components cross the Can/US/Mex borders in some cases multiple times before the final assembly. Quote

Am I to guess you'd say that if Poilievre was PM we'd be the only country to have negotiated no tariffs with Trump? No, that's stupid. And it's especially stupid to claim you're getting that from that comment But there's little doubt he would have forced trump back to the table and worked out something better than what we've got now, what we've got now is set to wipe out 20 percent or more of our small businesses within the next few months. At the VERY least you have to get something for what you're giving up. Everybody who's got any kind of brain knows this. If all you do is cave trump just pushes harder, thinking he can get more out of you. Which is precisely what's happened. In the end carney is doing badly and you're big mad about it, and you desperately want it to somehow be my fault which seems to be a common theme on the left: if things are bad it's because of the OTHER guys, not us!!!! There's nothing this guy could do that would make you stop defending him is there. You guys were sticking up for justin till the last year so it's no real surprise i guess.

CdnFox Posted August 23, 2025 Report Posted August 23, 2025 Just now, Aristides said: All of them are taking money out of consumer and business pockets and sending it to government. So is user fees and royalties but they're not taxes. Tariffs are different in that their purpose generally isn't to raise money but to impact the economy by discouraging dumping of other products in the country which would hurt your industries or by giving your industries a competitive environment until they grow. Or to pressure other countries for negotiation purposes. So there's an effect and benefit that's beyond collecting money for services like taxes. So the impact is different and you have to account for that. IF more businesses wind up investing and spending money in the US and creating jobs and industry as a result that has a strong positive impact on gov't revenues AND the job market and money in people's pockets. Which is generally something taxes can't do It's not a subtle difference, it's huge. Of course the question remains whether it'll work. I think it's going ot hurt them in the long run and the results won't be as good as trump thinks but we'll know for sure in about a year one way or another. We should start go see some signs by the end of this year. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
