    I know Ford makes bad decisions, but I am all for this decision. Punched right at the core of the problem.

        Have officials pushed for that yet? That would be perfect. It’s an action that shows the whole world (or Canada in this case) understands the situation very clearly.

          I saw an article yesterday, maybe Freeland is her name. Recently of the gov’t, and running for office, I think. Ah, here 'tis…

          " Canadian MP Chrystia Freeland: “If Donald Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, we must hit back—dollar for dollar—starting with 100% tariffs on all Tesla vehicles and U.S. wine, beer, and spirits. We must protect Canadian workers and businesses.” "

      It’s nice in theory, but if there’s already a contract, who much is it going to cost to get out of it? You can’t just “rip it up” and then act like it never existed.

      Also, Ford has already backtracked on this with the 30 day extension on the tariffs.
