    I remember when Trump threatened tariffs on Canada of 25%, I went to work that day and was freaking out. Most people didnt know, didnt care, and just went on like normal; as if 80% of our exports didnt flow to the US.

      It makes sense. I live near the border, and I’ve worked at quite a few places that used Canadian imports to make finished American products. I’m glad I found a new job since them; God knows it my ex-boss found a new supplier of steel tubing. Every car part we manufactured was a product of Canada.
