"... meeting standards expected of a leader of a party, let alone a Prime Ministers something that the leader of the opposition has not respected either and I'm speaking directly to his refusal still at a time of great crisis to get his security clearance. Something I managed to do in two weeks.”

Great quote from Mark Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social during today's press conference after getting sworn in.

"Employment in the private sector is something that the leader of the opposition has never experienced"

Comparing Carney to PP couldn't make that more clear.

And in the U.S. to industry it could add up cumulatively.
If the U.S. imposes a 25% tariff on imported parts, a $55,000 Dodge minivan could rise to around $102,600 due to the cumulative effects of tariffs. Roughly 60% of the minivan's value ($33,000) comes from parts that cross the U.S.-Canada-Mexico borders multiple times. Each crossing incurs a 25% tariff, compounding the parts' cost. After four crossings, the imported parts' value grows from $33,000 to over $80,500, dramatically inflating the final price. This demonstrates how tariffs disrupt complex supply chains, turning incremental taxes into massive cost increases for consumers.

If Trump goes ahead with a 25% tariff on Canada, this could happen in the auto industry. Similar thing with Mexico.

The auto industry is also very integrated with parts going back and forth between each country many times before a car is assembled in the U.S. Cumulative tariff could add up very fast.

Here is a quick ChatGPT question and answer on the topic.
