They can though. Cause of the agreement you signed your first term

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Haven’t you heard Trump crumpled it up said it was the worst deal ever than ate it.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Only an idiot would sign that deal!

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Like rapist in chief will honour any agreements.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They put outs into that agreement. Reviewing it every 5 years and final say on any trade agreement made with countries not in the agreement.

Canada's China deal needs US approval to keep us in CUSMA.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 39 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then get your fucking car companies out of here first

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Canada and Mexico should coordinate to expel the US car companies at the same time. This won't happen because a lot of people would suddenly become unemployed, though.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

We should make a community of people who work together to make new cars to sell to the capitalist hell scape we are in, Canada and Mexico can work with a social frame work towards vehicle manufacturing. There is a word for that, an -ism of some sort, kinda like our healthcare system now what could that word be?

[–] i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A bit like healthcare for industries? Industrialcare?

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was thinking more a long the socialism.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Just make sure to spray for Doug Ford repeatedly.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca -4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Great, most of us will have to drive Ladas while party officials will all be driving Mercedes Benz.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah Japanese, European and Chinese cars dont exist.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 days ago

Do not expect any help from Mexico or anyone.

[–] ergonomic_importer@piefed.ca 31 points 5 days ago

This is reminiscent to how the Airbus A220 came to be. Boeing got all pissy about Bombardier selling their new narrow-body CSeries for cheaper than the 737 and lobbied the government to block the sale, arguing the industry could be threatened.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 26 points 5 days ago

Fine. We'll sell to the rest of the world while your domestic industry builds planes that have a nasty habit of falling out of the sky.

[–] codydodd@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who denies this is anything less than a trade war is someone who fantasizes about bullies.

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is much more than a trade war. It's an attack on our sovereignty.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago

Carney did say we were at war, not trade war, with the US. When he spoke to reporters.

[–] ivanvector@piefed.ca 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As many people have pointed out, Bombardier already does build in the US. They have some form of operations in 20 US states and a supplier network covering 47, and the company estimates it supports tens of thousands of American jobs.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

the company estimates it supports tens of thousands of American jobs.

Not for long if they are smart.

[–] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 days ago

How can anyone rely on anything this person says?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Only thing it seems that he won't be able to weasel out of.

We can all be glad that for now, money and a lack of empathy cannot cheat death.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 days ago

By all means, keep flying Boeing.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

I think we've established American made aircraft are kind of shitty.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Grew up in the Canadian prairies. As a child I heard the word "Bomba Deer" bandied about. I think it was snow machines of some sort. I now wonder if they meant "Bom-bard-eee-ay".

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

It's correctly pronounced "bombadeer" if you're a WW2 pilot though

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 13 points 5 days ago

Just fucking die already.

[–] bassad@jlai.lu 9 points 4 days ago

So no Canadair for US?

Enjoy your fat forest fires

[–] OldCrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

No problem. We shouldn't be trading with the US at the best of times.

[–] Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 1 points 4 days ago

I wouldn't be surprised if they complied, they basically moved people to Dubai to sell them planes in the early oughts.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Huh, as a Canadian I thought Bombardier just fucked us over on trains and streetcars, I didn't know they made planes sometimes too! πŸ˜›
