Canada makes 2 million cars a year and has 5 plants making American
cars, although one or two of the GM plants may not make full cars,
but, are you saying you guys will just stop buying those models of
American cars?  Plus, if the tariff is on Parts, some American built
cars are made with more than 50% parts coming from Canada, so that
will raise the price of a lot of cars built in the USA as well..

I don't see this happening though. Your auto makers know they can't
suddenly change things to eliminate buying from Canada, it would
take years to build plants to replace ours here and that is not
good when they are already bleeding auto sales to asian companies
so they will raise hell with Trump. Our auto industries, and some
others, are too dependant on each other to function independantly
without it taking years and costing Billions of dollars and also
having to train hundreds of people to do the jobs.
