    1. By the way, of all the nations to get into a trade war with, Canada is the LAST one for whom it makes sense. And I was a broken glass Trump voter in 2020 and 2024.

    2. Nissan closed some of their U.S. factory locations and laid off workers at the beginning of 2025 after a failed merger with Honda. Honda has had declining sales outside of the U.S. for a while now. Both companies are not doing well.
      Of course this does leave their U.S. assets up for grabs by any auto company looking to expand U.S. production. Those tariffs might be a very good incentive to do so.

  2. Markey says to do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around.
    Heard the Honda thing was all B.S. but I wouldn’t at all be surprised.

  4. Imagine Trump and Carney call up the Japanese PM and ask for his support moving more manufacturing in country.

    Which one would get what they want?

    Japan tells Canada that there is “no business case” to build cars in Canada.

    2. Reference to the “elbows up” Carney campaign slogan. That references playing hockey with the elbows up, an agressive stance favored by the likes of Gordie Howe, Mr Elbows. Hitting opposing players in the back of the head with your elbows has lost it’s appeal now that concussions ruin people’s lives. Carney was goalie so he had other players conduct the rough stuff while he cowered in his little sanctuary dressed in goalie gear. He was full of shit then and he is full of shit now. Playing “elbows up” is a really stupid idea when you face an opponent ten times your size.

    3. I didn’t know what all the elbows up stuff was about either and had to ask.
      Went to a minor league hockey game here several years ago and left. It was so much fighting like a roller derby it was embarrassing to watch.Seems like such a waste because the level of skating is so impressive but the rest -bleh.

      1. “I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out” has been a joke for a long time. The fans like the fights. They want the fights. League rule changes that punish or restrict fighting are roundly decried by the fans.

  6. Since I started driving in Canada 50 years ago, I’ve owned nothing but Chev cars or GMC trucks/SUVs, a couple of them brand new off the lot. But I may consider Kia, Honda or Volkswagen in the future.

    I cheered on DJT in every election, but I never expected he would provoke tariff wars. Buying Korean, Japanese or European in the future would be my own form of tariff.

    1. Get a Honda, you will never look back. Honda V6 is probably the best engine on the market today.

      1. Jessica
        Taking advice from you is a non starter, as you are wrong every time you post. Toyota engines are just as good as Honda, and I am a honda fan, I used to have a honda dealer ship as a customer.

        1. If you have paid attention to current reality, as opposed to something you heard while scavenging garbage in the past, you would have realized that Toyota went nearly all hybrid by now. Even Landcruiser and Sequoia are hybrid only these days. And when a non hybrid option is available you get a turbo four cylinder like with the once mighty 4Runner. So as usual, every time you open your delusional pie hole, you do so only to prove to the world that you’re still a retard who ought not to be flapping its foul gums.

          As for a Honda dealership being your customer. Diving into their dumpster does not make them your customer. It makes you a pest that they are apparently finally managed to chase off their property. Loser.

          P.S. Has your mail order bride from Wuhan arrive yet?

      2. I had two Hondas great cats but they have increased their prices so much as to make them unattractive

        1. They are a little pricey, true, but when you buy a new one you can happily drive it for a decade or more with just minimal maintenance. You’re buying a piece of mind that few (if any) other makers can offer.
