They’ll get one from me in Canada. Please come, sorry we are small.

There is a 100% tariff so it is unlikely.

I don’t think a lot of people properly estimate our anger at protectionism for America’s manufacturing or its Ontario job offshoots. And bending over for Don.

I’ll pay it if it makes sense or I won’t buy.

The funny thing about that is, even with the 100% tariffs the vehicles are still cheaper than most of the competition.

I live in the Texas of Canada, and my next vehicle will be a BYD.
