Trump and the scenery definitions interfered in the Canadian campaign only

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carnary’s campaign was brought to the bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Deterouit, which is worth $ 300 million of car parts.

A series of promises of programs and industries related to cars, which will be offered if President Trump imposes a tariff on the products of the Canadian car industry. Among them was a proposed box of two billion Canadian dollars to reshape the industry for a future without an American market.

High risks. Cars and auto parts are the second largest export in the country by value, and the employer, directly and indirectly, which is about 500,000 people, which represents 10 percent of the gross domestic product of manufacturing.

But what Mr. Carney knew, and no one else in the Canadian government, at the time is that after a few hours the program is no longer anything for the emergency.

Mr. Trump announced, without informing Canada for the first time, that it imposes a 25 percent tariff starting from April 2 on all imports of car and car parts, with no exemption from Canada.

“This is a direct attack,” Mr. Carney told reporters in another campaign after the president’s announcement, adding that due to the customs tariff, the relations between Canada and the United States are “collapsing.”

Then, Mr. Carney suspended the campaign to return to Ottawa to attend the cabinet meeting the next morning.

How to deal with Mr. Trump and his business schedule, of course, was, of course, at the top of the list of issues when the election campaign began on Sunday.

Here is how the three national parties are the leading of dealing with the future of the auto industry:

Liberals: Mr. Carney said his box “will build a comprehensive manufacturing network for Sanda.” He added: “On average, car parts cross borders six times before the final assembly. In a commercial war, this is a great weakness.”

Conservatives: Pierre Poilievre, conservative leader, did not provide a plan for the auto sector directly but renewed his call to end the carbon tax on industries in addition to expanding the energy and natural resources sectors in Canada to stimulate the economy. He said this week: “We must become more self -dependent and we have new and different markets.”

New Democrats: Jaghmit Singh, the party leader, in Windsor, appeared in his hometown, a day after Mr. Carney. He said that if car companies in the United States want to continue selling in Canada, they will be asked to create vehicles in Canada or buy Canadian parts. He also said that he would use previous government subsidies to prevent the removal of any mechanism or tools for the United States. He said: “These machines, those tools, which the Canadians paid for.” “They belong to us.”

For a general evaluation of the future of industry, I spoke with Greig Mordue, the former general manager of Toyota Motor Motoring Canada. Mr. Mordue is now a professor of engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, and the doctoral thesis was partially a history of cars in Canada.

He said that the idea of ​​the Canadian auto industry had appeared from time to time since it promoted a government investigation in 1960 to something that was proposed by his name.

It does not seem that any party goes so far, which may be. “There is no right size to make a Canadian car company that is viable, profitable and sustainable,” said Mordo.

But he said that if Mr. Trump has delivered his cars tariff next week, and if it is sustainable, the result may be the opposite of what Mr. Carney hopes for the makers of the parts.

He said: “The spare parts will be destroyed in Canada, and they will be destroyed very quickly.”

Part makers face two problems. The profit margin on the parts is a small part of the tariff rate by 25 percent, and therefore its operations will become financially unsustainable.

At the same time, Mr. Mordow does not expect that car manufacturers will immediately move away from the assembly factories worth billions of dollars, their skilled employees and coaches. Instead, he said that they are likely to try to buy the largest possible number of parts of the United States as an introductory solution. The Trump administration indicated that the definitions of cars collected outside the United States will be reduced based on its American content.

But even if the assembly factories remain open at the present time, Mr. Mordue sees a faint future for the industry if the American definitions are placed in place and continuing.

“If this continues, nothing good will happen to the Canadian car manufacturer,” he said. “They will defend, and they will find solutions. But these solutions will eventually delay the auto manufacturing fly.”

With the end of the week, Mr. Carney and Mr. Trump held his first phone conversation. The president brought his speech about making Canada state 51, and the two leaders described their conversation in positive tones. But Mr. Trump later said his tariff against Canada was “absolutely” on April 2.
