Ford Is About To Have An Epiphany.

Ford says if there's no agreement soon, then we have to hit back hard. Of course, that's what we have to do, but it won't move Trump. He doesn't care about the American economy, private corporations or workers. All he cares about is getting his way. He has decided to endlessly threaten and browbeat each domestic automobile company until all North American production is returned to the United States. He won't settle for anything less. That's the epiphany that Ford is about to have -- our auto jobs are already lost. It's only a matter of when all Canadian production comes to an end. 

Additionally, Trump doesn't want a renegotiation of the USMCA. He wants it dead. The only thing he will offer Carney going forward will be a bilateral deal where the United States wins and Canada caves. In his eyes, Carney is a wimp now that he cancelled the reciprocal tariffs. Our naive and foolish Prime Minister played right into Trump's hands. If he had listened to Freeland, well...

So, Doug, rethink Chinese EV tariffs and push for unionized Chinese auto plants tied to market access. Our workers need jobs in this sector. The Chinese future production has to be our Plan B because there is no other realistic plan for Canadian autoworkers. 

Tell our PM tomorrow not to give in on Chinese EVs unless unionized plants are part of the bargain. As long as Trump is breathing, Canada will be fucked and that means three and a half more years. Time to cut our losses and bring in other automobile production.
