For Southwestern Ontario’s auto sector, the reckoning caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened trade war is as intense as anywhere in Canada.
Hundreds of domestic automotive parts and equipment manufacturers, who supply multinational automakers on both sides of the border, were braced at the start of the week for nearly the entire industry to shut down if Mr. Trump made good on his vow to impose a 25-per-cent tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports.
Not sure Ontario will have much left when Trump is done.
