minus-squaregramie@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoI think you’re dismissing the issues that Canada will have without US trade. One simple example: Canada doesn’t make the aluminum sheets used to make aluminum cans. It sends the aluminum ingots to the US to be formed. Sure, we could build a factory to do it, but it would probably take two or three years. Canada will suffer a lot more in a trade war with the United States. We may be willing to do so, but we shouldn’t minimize the pain.
