    It might not work eh? Might it though? I hate this kind of weasel headline almost as much as the constant “slamming”. Just say what you’re going to say.

      The US has done a great job of fucking Canada, now they’re turning their attention to fucking Mexico, too.

      It’s giving Sino-Soviet split.

        Yeah I hate American pharmaceutical companies so much trying to pry Pharmacare from the hands of everyday people.

          We’ve had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would’ve helped lower prices a bit.

            Illegal tariffs. The Canadian lumber industry has taken them to court several times and win the cases. And nothing was changed. The US loves NAFTA when it benefits them. Not so much otherwise.

    Big 3 had a decade to compete with Tesla whose cars are already considered lower grade by today’s EV standards because of quality issues.

    Instead they spammed anti direct sell litigation while R&D twiddled their thumbs.

    They’ll do the exact same thing again and eat some more bailouts after they inevitably fail again.

    For an administration so desperate to cut back on global emissions, keeping cheap and apparently reliable foreign electric vehicles out of US market seems so backwards.
