    it might not make a difference to the Canadian economy, but buying cars from American companies still boost theirs.

        That makes zero sense. How do they benefit by selling and manufacturing cars in other countries, if not by making money?

          Weird, right? So people make money while working for Ford, for example.

          Ford the automaker gets paid and makes “profit” in Murca.

          Profit goes to the 1%. The 1% contributes nothing to the economy by dodging taxes and securing a greater share of the overall wallet in Murca.

          This causes inflation because there’s less money circulating. Huh. It’s almost like the profits do nothing, despite what Reagan told you.

              It’s bad, but it’s such a small slice of the pie, and accomplishes nothing except the accumulation of wealth at the top 1% who contribute nothing to the society they’re in.

              Of course it would be slightly better if we had wholly Canadian-owned auto makers but I’m pointing out that it’s not much better. Ford Canada is already a thing. Honda Canada is already a thing.
