All is not well with our Canadian neighbors just across the Detroit River.
Windsor, the auto capital of Cananda, is gravely concerned about President Donald Trump's tariff's which were supposed to begin on Feb. 4, but have now been delayed for a month.
The New York Times, in a story, two days before tariffs were about to go into effect, wrote:
Mr. Trump’s decision to impose damaging 25 percent tariffs on most Canadian exports and 10 percent levies on energy exports has set off waves of anger and worry in Windsor, and a sense, for many people, of deep disappointment and helplessness.
The tariffs, a stunning departure from the norm in modern relations between the two countries, has raised concerns about a swift shutdown of local auto plants, as well as car factories in Detroit across a river that at some points is only a half-mile wide.
Mr. Trump’s suggestions, repeated again on Sunday, that Canada abandon its sovereignty and throw in its lot with the United States merely added insult to injury. Canadians in Windsor viewed the American president’s idea as — to put it mildly — profoundly unneighborly.
It's unclear if Trump will go through with the tariffs.
