   Canada makes 2 million cars a year and has 5 plants making American   
   cars, although one or two of the GM plants may not make full cars,   
   but, are you saying you guys will just stop buying those models of   
   American cars?  Plus, if the tariff is on Parts, some American built   
   cars are made with more than 50% parts coming from Canada, so that   
   will raise the price of a lot of cars built in the USA as well..   
      
   I don't see this happening though. Your auto makers know they can't   
   suddenly change things to eliminate buying from Canada, it would   
   take years to build plants to replace ours here and that is not   
   good when they are already bleeding auto sales to asian companies   
   so they will raise hell with Trump. Our auto industries, and some   
   others, are too dependant on each other to function independantly   
   without it taking years and costing Billions of dollars and also   
   having to train hundreds of people to do the jobs.
