With Trump wildly firing off tariff threats (on Canadian aerospace, Cuba trade, and any other pet peeve), this is a regular reminder that his policies are a self-inflicted wound on US manufacturing. US lost 72K mfg jobs since he started the tariff wars. Canada gained 16K. #cdnecon #canlab

Trump may want to rethink his crazy threat to "de-certify" Canadian jets in the U.S. (even if there is such a process). There are 5,425 Canadian-built aircraft – regional jets, business jets and helicopters – currently in service in the USA, including 58 commercial Airbus A220s. #cdnpoli #uspoli
