1 MIN AGO: Big Money FLEES U.S.—Canada Wins Big as Trump Tariffs BACKFIRE | George Will

Headlines claiming a “major automaker is quitting the U.S.” are spreading fast—but the key is what’s verified vs. what’s viral. What is documented across mainstream reporting is that Trump-era tariff moves have imposed real, measurable cost hits on automakers—triggering write-downs, revised guidance, and sudden strategy pivots. That’s the mechanism behind the “Canada lands jobs” narrative: when tariffs and rule changes raise uncertainty and cost, companies don’t need to “announce an exit” to shift outcomes—they can pause expansions, re-route production, and place the next investment where policy risk is lower and cross-border logistics still work. The Detroit–Windsor trade corridor is the pressure point, which is why Trump’s threat to block the Canada-funded Gordie Howe Bridge instantly set off alarms: it’s a core artery for auto supply chains on both sides. This briefing explains how tariff blowback shows up first (cost shocks, delayed capex, production reallocation), why Canada can “win jobs” even without a dramatic relocation headline, and how Washington’s leverage moves can boomerang into the very outcome they’re meant to prevent.
