I mean, sure. But neither I or the poster I was responding to were talking about Canada. We were talking about the US expanding their manufacturing capacity as a result of these tariffs. They seem to take it for granted that that will happen, while I'm more skeptical. I question whether companies are going to invest billions of dollars in US production capacity that isn't viable without the 25% tariffs. Trump has a pretty short shelf life, and beyond that he's very unpredictable and could remove the tariffs on a whim. Why would a company significantly invest in expanding their US production and increasing their costs in light of that unpredictability?
