Thanks Kevin. I live in México, Tijuana to be specific. The amount of Chinese cars ( brands) has grown exponentially in the last 5 yrs. None of those cars go to the U.S. they are consumed internally. American brands are shrinking here. I used to import goods from the U.S. 15 yrs ago, many of them were made in China. Now Mexican importers and manufacturers have become very competitive, reliable and affordable, better than the suppliers I had in the U.S. They supply and transform Chinese products as well, but without the excessive prices and poor customer service. Why is that wrong? Isn't that what free markets are all about? Isn't that what the U.S. and Canada asked us to do more than 30 yrs ago when México entered NAFTA? What about all the years and business closed that took us to become competitive? The U.S. and Canada were in such an advantageous position back then. Now open markets do not work... apparently.

Y que decir de sus supermercados con todos los productos en idioma mandarín y cantonés! Todos los mexicanos estamos muy desilusionados con Canadá, por llegar al extremo de ser ofensivos con nuestro País y querer eliminarlo del T-MEC. Ya olvidaron que en la anterior administración de Trump, ustedes iban a ser excluídos???? Y México intercedió para que no acontecerá eso. Irónico, no creén??

The disastrous decisions by the Canadian elite combined with new US tariffs will be hard on the Canadian people. I tell my relatives there they need to watch KZbins on how Cubans eat, I also tell them there is no shame in eating cabbage soup twice a day.

[@CA999]

Cubans are healthier you mean?

Mining rights should be given to Chinese companies. Don't let Canada dictate what to do.

So japanese cars built in canada good... german cars built in usa good... chinese cars built in mexico bad ??? 🤔

Another outstanding report. The uncompetitive west, writhing in pain. It's a whole new ballgame, and gives a different meaning to the term 'the old west'.

Mexico City alone is larger than half of Eastern Canada's population and output! 😆

What happens to free trades promoted by the great leader Ronald Ragan. Free trades when the U.S. wins, tariffs when it loses?

[@stephencheung9877]

Great analysis and explanation, appreciate the attention to detail

[@faterrorism]

So, this is so called free trade and democracy, right? Let me jot it down first.

[@CA999]

Free trade with thousands of pages of "conditions"...

[@RuiNobrega]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@Thinkofwhat]

I don't wanna sound like a bigot or racist......BUT the 5 Eyes ( the anglo-saxons 5 ) seems to have these natural sense of superiority over others and little awareness of whats going on around the world except for their little bubble. Just my humble observation.

[@remix-yy1hs]

They do. They are evil 😈

[@NunyaBizness-z8f]

As an ex-American in Mexico, Canadians come down here in droves in winter and can easily be shut out of that option if Mexico deems them more trouble than they are worth. Matter of fact, the prices they pay for real estate are so high, removing their demand from the economy will bring downward pressure on Mexican inflation. Anything reducing inflation here helps the working class and expats of other countries who also winter here.

[@peterfischer5459]

Love your pieces here. Thank you so much. 🙏

[@phils4634]

It isn't as if China, too, doesn't have significant mining expertise, that can very easily replace Western investments. A very bad move from Canada, with clearly no understanding of the direction World trade is heading. Thanks as always for an excellent, concise summary of events.

[@franciscogerardohernandezr4788]

All the Mexican government needs to do is properly tax Canadian gold mining companies and revenue will triple. Good luck.

[@jptrainor]

Dougie Ford has cheesecake for brains. It makes sense if you keep that in mind.

[@edwardlim7253]

Great analysis & conclusion..

[@parttimethinker7611]

No matter how much the American government may feel about the Chinese factories in Mexico. A poor Mexico will be the American government’s biggest headache ever. The Chinese are enabling the Mexican great prosperity…lesser headaches for the U.S. Kevin.

[@steventao7020]

Excellent reporting and analysis

Canada is our little brother from the north. They do exactly what we big brother tell them to do.

Seemed that Maxico is progressing well when trading with China and Canada wants to stop that.

Another great video!

[@AntonyTCurtis]

Canada is afraid of the USA cancelling NAFTA. I think what many USA/Canaga policians are ignoring is that while their middle classes are shrinking, that class is growing in China and their average energy consumption per capita is rising to similar levels to the middle classes in developed countries. The middle classes will command a lot of buying power so it would be a poor investment to bet on USA/Canada middle classes... since their governments are doing nothing to slow the shrinking of the middle classes.

[@miroslavcerina98]

This's the end of colonial bully attitude.

[@philipspencer1834]

Bless you Kevin. Another thought provoking report. This is going to get a lot worse isn’t it….. 🥺

[@luihinwai1]

Wow now the US is saying the exact same thing to Canada

His post is nothing but "look, I'm doing something about it". He knows full well no one will lift a finger to act on it

[@RobertMooney-ut7cc]

Very interesting. I didn't realize that 74% of all mining exploration concessions in Mexico were from Canadian companies. You also make an excellent point that Mexico will be more inclined to trade as equal partners with the global majority as opposed to helping Premier Ford win votes from auto workers in Ontario. I think trade restrictions usually have negative consequences. Being home to one of the largest subnational economies in North America, Ontario would have better ways to be competitive than to opt for trade restrictions.
