| But they EU doesn't make any software... So unless Canada is willing to go with Chinese software which would kinda invalidate any "moral" ground they have and well frankly the USA wouldn't allow it seems like the USA can take it for granted. |

As a response to the tariffs we were told to use Canadian companies, and lo and behold, all of our big name software companies were magically Canadian. |

| Canada just announced a huge deal with China last week. You're wrong on all counts. |

| ▲ | timbit42 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | No. You're wrong on all counts. That was not a "huge deal". Canada reduced tariffs on EVs to get reduced tariffs on some agriculture items. This put things back to where they were a few years ago. Canada doesn't have a free trade deal with China like it does with the US and Mexico. | | |
| ▲ | hadlock 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Canada has been extremely closely aligned with US vehicle manufacturing for over a century. I'm not sure if Canada has a bigger lever to shoot american auto manufacturing in the leg. Opening the door to Chinese electric vehicles rattles the very foundations of American manufacturing. If anything, "huge deal" was an understatement. | | |
| ▲ | timbit42 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, the "huge deal" was when the US crippled the entire North American vehicle manufacturing industry. |
