Ontario expects the U.S. administration to significantly ease the impact of auto tariffs on Canada, following a phone call from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Premier Doug Ford on Wednesday, according to a source.
Mr. Lutnick called Mr. Ford on Wednesday evening, according to a senior Ontario government source, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced auto tariffs during a news conference. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source as they are not authorized to speak publicly about internal discussions.
Sounds a bit like Good Cop Bad Cop.
I suspect that many of the same companies that manufacture here now will be forced to relocate to the States or shut down.
The Canadian market it is said is not large enough to sustain a domestic auto industry.
The EV Fantasy has crashed and burned so what’s next? Unending bailouts?
This will help.
