Episode Description

Canadians don’t feel so hot toward the U.S. right now. Thirty-seven percent view the country favorably, and most think even less of President Donald Trump. That’s in part because of a 25% tax the president issued on steel and aluminum, which has cost thousands of jobs for people in Windsor alone. Most of those folks work for auto suppliers.

Today is not only Canada Day, it’s also the day that talks are set to begin to renew the U.S.-Mexico-Canada-Agreement. The Metro’s Sam Corey spoke with Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association President Flavio Volpe about why America’s aggressions toward Canada have led to losses for everyone.
