A statistical outlier or one of the reasons that America’s manufacturing renaissance isn’t ready for showtime just yet?

That's pretty funny, for a ballpark cost of about $250 all in in China, vs $1200 for fab only (maybe $1800 powder coated and painted), they would need what, 600, 700% tarriffs before it costs less to make in the US?

And if he's required to figure out shipment to a powder coat shop and packaging, even then probably easier to just get it made in China.

The minimum unit number is a big thing, but had to laugh at not being able to find someone that would do production engineering, fabrication powder coating and shipping, as those should all be pretty standard for anyone doing basic metal shop work that wants business outside their city.

I remember that cartoon ;)

 
He’s already gone to Europe. His first call was with France.

A trip to DC makes sense.

That being said, our PM should not have to wait on the US president to exercise Canada’s diplomatic efforts. If a meeting can’t be made soon then it will happen when it happens.
 
Just a question for those that know:

Is the USA still our largest trading partner?

OH BTW I think the whole "elbows up" chant is stupid.

That may be one of the most truthful things he has ever said.

Carney got a major boost from Trump's antics, and the left leaning media up here painted PP and the CPC as "Maple MAGA".
 
So India has 36x the population but only 2.5x more manufacturing?

That 14.4x less manufacturing per capita than Canada.
