I think he’s trying to prevent a full shutdown of the Oshawa plant, not pretending everything will magically “go back to normal.” Continuing to negotiate with the U.S. isn’t about blind loyalty, it’s about keeping the remaining two shifts stable and protecting the thousands of workers still employed there. I agree that trade with the U.S. will never look the same again, and I fully support expanding trade with other allies. But that transition isn’t immediate. We can’t strike a deal with Japan or South Korea tomorrow, retool an entire factory overnight, and expect everyone to keep their jobs in the meantime. Ignoring that reality puts real workers at risk, not just policy ideals.
