00:00:06.000 own cars and we're now equipped to do that they took a lot of our car business mexico too took a
00:00:12.000 lot of our car business we want to make the cars here i'm running this country i'm not running
00:00:16.000 canada no more cars from canada trump just dropped the hammer and in non-certain terms
00:00:22.720 is telling car manufacturers that he wants to see car production return to the united states
00:00:29.360 this move has mexico and canada panicking trying to find any way possible that they can salvage
00:00:35.760 their car industry but at this point it seems inevitable car makers continue closing factories
00:00:42.240 in canada and heading south let's dive in leaders from every level of canadian government are lashing
00:00:48.240 out at stelantis today the automaker says it's reneging on plans to make jeeps in brampton ontario
00:00:54.480 and moving production to the u.s instead the blame is falling squarely on u.s president donald trump
00:01:00.640 and his tariffs we've got breaking news to bring you this hour concerning canada's auto sector general
00:01:06.560 motors is dropping electric van production at its plant near london ontario the announcement makes
00:01:12.160 uncertainty in the auto industry more pronounced putting the plant's future and 1200 jobs at risk we
00:01:18.080 we don't need their cars you know they make 20 of our cars we don't need that i'd rather make them
00:01:22.320 in detroit we don't need the cars but why are we supporting a country 200 billion plus a year
00:01:32.560 our military is at their disposal all of these other things they should be a state canada wouldn't be
00:01:38.640 able to function if we didn't take their 20 of our car market you know we again they send us hundreds of
00:01:45.760 thousands of cars they make a lot of money with that they send us a lot of other things that we
00:01:50.240 don't need we don't need their cars we need to start hitting back and hitting back hard that's the only
00:01:56.240 thing this this uh person understands sir i just get pumped up talking about this guy he drives me
00:02:03.360 absolutely crazy he does and we aren't going to roll over he's not good i'm not going to let him roll
00:02:07.360 over ontario i'll tell you that listen to dog ford trying to sound tough as two car makers announced
00:02:13.040 just this week that they're closing shop in ontario and heading south of the border you got
00:02:18.480 stellantis which makes jeep vehicles announcing that they're officially shutting down their
00:02:24.320 production of the jeep compass in brampton ontario and transferring that production to the state of
00:02:30.400 illinois and just recently gm announces that they're closing another plant in ontario where they
00:02:37.440 were producing some sort of commercial electric van all this not to mention several other companies
00:02:44.400 and banks that have announced plans to exit the canadian market and heading to the usa but yet you
00:02:51.360 got politicians talking tough and paying lip service like dog ford while doing very little to actually
00:02:58.800 help the situation and quite the opposite making it worse watch i will do everything uh including cut off
00:03:06.720 their energy with a smile on my face you think the people of ontario are that dumb like i'm gonna
00:03:14.400 i'm gonna call you out and get one of those cans i'm gonna rip that label off encourage people to buy
00:03:20.160 made in ontario made in canada soup and maybe what you should do is bring back your manufacturing facility
00:03:26.080 that you closed down in etobicoke and got rid of hundreds of people i'm gonna show you one thing uh
00:03:31.920 we're gonna make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the american people without inflicting
00:03:39.600 uh pain on the canadian population sure why not threaten to cut off their electricity that's a good
00:03:45.920 idea i'm sure trump will respond very well to that diplomacy at his best you're considering military force
00:03:55.200 to acquire panama in greenland are you also considering military force to annex and acquire
00:04:01.280 no economic force because canada and the united states that would really be something you get rid of
00:04:09.440 that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like and it would also be much
00:04:15.120 better for national security don't forget we basically protect canada but here's the problem with
00:04:20.160 canada so many friends up there uh i love the canadian people they're great but we're spending
00:04:28.400 hundreds of billions a year to protect it meanwhile trump's been saying the exact same thing about
00:04:33.200 canada from the moment he got elected if your economy is so dependent on the united states for
00:04:38.720 survival then maybe you should just become part of america he's been telling canadian politicians the
00:04:44.960 same message for months if you truly want free trade then open your market the president understands
00:04:53.440 that we need to open the markets canada is not open to us they need to open their market unless they're
00:05:00.240 willing to open their market they're gonna pay a tariff let's have real free trade where there's no
00:05:05.840 tariffs on your side or our side but there's an issue canada is very protectionist while the government
00:05:13.680 complains that trump policies are protectionist they do the exact same thing here tariffing american
00:05:20.480 exports into canada as high as three to four hundred percent especially when it comes to dairy all to
00:05:28.080 protect the quebec dairy cartel we attack livelihoods of people of ontario and canadians we're going to
00:05:33.840 use every tool in our toolbox to defend uh ontarians and canadians across the border trump responded to
00:05:40.960 ford's threat today saying this well that's okay if he does that that's fine but the united states is
00:05:46.960 subsidizing canada it's really a subsidy and we shouldn't have to do it the president started this
00:05:53.200 fight so if i'm hearing you're saying you're going to run attack ads basically against what he's doing
00:05:56.960 in the states well i wouldn't call them attack ads i'm going to call them information ads okay and
00:06:01.600 they're going to inform uh the great people of the united states you know how it could be and having
00:06:08.960 two great nations and how it might be if these tariffs continue to go through uh as far as i'm
00:06:15.120 concerned it's it's unacceptable you'll see some of the presidents that were the most successful
00:06:20.800 were believers in tariffs and i even see foreign countries now that we are doing very well with
00:06:27.360 taking ads don't go with tariffs they're taking ads i saw an ad last night from canada
00:06:32.720 if i was canada i'd take that same man also but uh they're actually on television taking ads but
00:06:38.960 again to me it seems like these people either don't know what the hell they're doing or their
00:06:44.240 goal is for this trade war to continue indefinitely what kind of negotiating tactic involves buying
00:06:51.840 attack ads against the person you're trying to negotiate with especially if that person you're
00:06:56.800 dealing with is donald trump in what world is that a good idea i'm not a politician and even i know that
00:07:04.000 and then you have mark carney taking a page from trudeau's book where he's all nice to trump's face
00:07:10.400 and then gets all gossipy when he returns to canada talking smack about trump do these people
00:07:16.320 not realize that trump watches this stuff i can't control donald trump i gotta tell you
00:07:21.280 actually i can't let him think i'm controlling him is maybe a better way to do it
