Did no one watch “How It’s Made”?
That’s how I found out what goods are made in Canada.
Like, you know, gum. Fucking bubble gum. The smallest-possible, easiest-to-make, most-ubiquitous thing. Found in every convenience store, drug store, newsstand, and vending machine.
Do we make that in the States? Nooo… we gotta import that shit from our neighbors to the North. Like, do we make anything here?
Not the raised lettering on every toy saying 'made in china'?
We do but NAFTA really made things spread out. We've made a lot more progress unifying the North American economies than people think. This is going to be ten times as painful as Brexit was for the British. And to undo it Mexico and Canada are going to demand we take on a trade deficit with them as a way of helping their economies in case the deal goes south with the president after whoever is fixing this mess.
We make double trouble here. Double bubble is too tame
