@FlavioVolpe1 @mppjimwilson Agreed...best wishes for a speedy rehab and recovery.

Hilary Neubauer organized to save her local school from closure & then joined forces with other parents in @YRDSBKids to force critically needed management and equity change at @YRDSB.

She’s running in Ward 1 in #Markham. @voteNeubauer inspired leadership belongs on Council.

Great to talk about a critical @ScutiX investment, autonomous vehicles and #Stratford with @alicjawithaj

The new auto rules in USMCA affect real people. Watch this clip and the team at @MetricanG celebrate with the @CanadianPM yesterday.

‘Flavio Volpe, an adviser to the CDN team, said it would have been absurd for Canada to concede on autos at the start of talks.

“I know the Americans were upset by Canada’s position, but who would start a negotiation they didn’t ask for by conceding?”’

I’m cited in South Africa’s @Busrep on the US & its focus on containing China.

A “blunt protectionist stick used by this administration may end up creating a coalition of major trading partners that will be difficult for Chinese carrots to compete with.”

The cost increase you speak of is not because of a subsidy.

The US decided it wanted to target China's low-cost, centrally planned-industrial output with more content in USMCA vehicles. This wasn't a vacuum.

More manufacturing volume in Canada requires more people & materials.

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

Wait, new rules that drive higher manufacturing volumes & jobs counts in Canada, including increased tool purchasing & materials from Canadian sources are bad?

I guess, unless well paid employees in stable jobs & healthy, growing companies are consumers too. Then maybe its good?

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

Great behind the scenes USMCA story by @Alex_Panetta in @politico

Great @MetricanG visit today by @JustinTrudeau and @NavdeepSBains. A strong, second generation Canada auto parts maker with investments in all 3 USMCA countries.

A good deal for all of their plants, all of their employees. Great to have them in the @APMACanada family.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat & blood.”

Which are you?

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

How you treat your neighbours matters.

A true, passionate change maker is on the ballot as Ward 1&2 @YRDSB Trustee.

@charlineGrant took on the School Board for unacceptable discrimination of children and rocked it to its core.

She’s earned the vote.

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

It bears noting that I have been a public critic of this govt on TPP.

Today I want to give full* credit for our success on NAFTA/USMCA to @cafreeland & Team Canada.

The non-partisan, public/private effort was amazing* & I’m proud to be a footnote in this history’s chapter. /end

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

“The first time in the history of trade negotiations between two auto-producing nations that they’ve raised the regional vehicle content for cars and manufacturers. It’s a significant development for auto cities like Windsor.“

Great @winstarwaddell piece

In auto, USMCA addresses the protectionist needs of the current administration but wraps in its purview Canada as Mexico as primary partners.

Side agreements for exemptions on tariff threats are the realpolitik* of 2018. CAN/MX achieved an insurance policy here worth noting. /6

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

The cost of an automobile may increase if manufacturers are required to source more supplies from the US/CAN/MX than from the cheapest global sources.

The benefit is more* investment in Ontario, Kentucky & Chihuahua & less* in places that sell to us but do not buy from us. /5

[Flavio Volpe, C.M. @FlavioVolpe1]

Thread:

The USMCA is the first trade deal between major auto producing national since the original NAFTA that sees the Regional Value Content (RVC) for automotive production go up*.

This is everything for automotive manufacturing that employs millions in the 3 countries. /1

@FlavioVolpe1 And so it begins...

@DonaldJTrumpJr You haven’t been paying attention. Your dad is the man who had unprotected sex with my “porn star” client when your brother was 4 mos. old and your step mom was at home. How many other “porn stars” has he slept with? You should leave this to the adults and go back to playing.

@realDonaldTrump @IngrahamAngle Lol...the guy with "the best words" working overtime. #Amomenous
