Did no one watch “How It’s Made?” That’s the show that informed me that we don’t even make fucking gum in this country… It’s all made in Canada! Everything!
It's the amount of stuff made in the US that relies on stuff made in Canada that will surprise you. Quebec is a huge aluminium producer, 90% of it is sold to US based factories!
As an American that works in manufacturing I cannot express how fucking obviously bad of an idea this was. Like if you make anything remotely complicated or anything that goes into something that is you have to ship to and from Canada and Mexico on the regular.
The plus side is, this is going to make Canada have a massive boom in manufacturing since they aren't picking a fight with the rest of the world, and so they may find themselves needing skilled manufacturing labor.
Or Canada will make a good deal with the EU.
