Canada's Tariff Crisis EXPOSED: Jobs Lost, EV Slowdown & The Shift Away From the U.S.

In today's episode of the Maple Conservative Girl Podcast, I break down Canada's growing tariff crisis, the impact on major industries, and what it means for the future of jobs, trade, and economic policy in Canada. From steel and aluminum tariffs to major disruptions in the auto sector, including EV production delays and investment uncertainty, Canada's industrial landscape is shifting fast. I also look at the broader debate over Canada's trade strategy—whether moving closer to Europe actually solves anything, or if Canada's economy is still fundamentally tied to its relationship with the United States. I also discuss major developments in the auto industry, including Honda's EV production pause in Canada, and what it signals about global investment trends and Canada's competitiveness in the EV race. Finally, I explore the bigger political and economic questions shaping the country right now—leadership priorities, industrial policy, and whether Canada is focusing on the right long-term strategy for workers and businesses. Topics Covered: Canada–U.S. tariff tensions Steel, aluminum & manufacturing job impacts Auto sector & EV production slowdown Honda EV investment update in Canada Trade strategy: U.S. vs Europe Economic policy & leadership direction Is Canada adapting to a changing global economy—or losing its industrial base in the process?
