If the thinking is that we just have to outlast this and everything will go back to normal in a few years (or sooner if he dies), then why make dramatic shifts in the way the industry works? If the thinking is that trade barriers between the USA and Canada is the new normal, or that we should act like it is, then it makes even less sense, because without selling cars to Americans there's no point in manufacturing them in Canada at all - no one else will buy them.

And if we bring BYD here, it'll kill whatever is left of the auto industry.
Which of course is never going to happen because BYD has zero reason to build manufacturing here for vehicles if they can't sell into the US. In fact it would just likely result in even higher tariffs.
So we are not going to outlast anyone. There could be close to 500,000 jobs affected by all of this.
