The stakes are high south of the border as U.S. voters go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new president, but lost in all the hype and hot air is how a Trump administration could have dire impacts on Canada’s automotive sector. David Booth has done the research and crunched the numbers and discovered some existential threats to our domestic industry, one of which we have no remedy for.

David has been burning the midnight oil this week researching such diverse subjects as the 60-year-old Canada-US Auto Pact, the United States Mexico Canada Agreement, the Inflation Reduction Act, Trump’s proposed car loan deductibility and why the hell is Elon Musk cozying up to Trump?

As always, it’s a rollicking discussion covering issues you probably haven’t even heard about, but are serious enough to have even David fearing what might be to come.
