not even pinko commie victor would have attempted that kind of mental gymnastics - he'd just keep it simple and instead say the american car companies were more evil

Yeah, the poor bugger. He could have been really wealthy not the $7.5 billion pauper he is today.

Must be windy where you are since the point flew entirely over your head. His wealth is not a function of his abilities but of the wealth he inherited. He would be wealthier had he done absolutely nothing but invest in an index fund after his father died vs what he actually did.

Missed this.

The claim is that Canada unfairly subsidizes their soft lumber industry. I personally don’t agree, but that’s the retaliatory interest.

Also the reason why you don’t want China to control the EV market is because they are communists and manipulate the market through various tactics including providing immense amount of start ups and price controls. We don’t want communists to succeed because they are evil and steal our intellectual property.
