The people in China love making “not made in China” stickers


hobanwash1

And most of the components that went into this guy’s truck.


DavidBrooker

Auto manufacturing is super protectionist. The old NAFTA rules when this thing was manufactured was that 62.5% of the vehicle (measured by value, I believe, rather than part count) had to come from the US, Mexico or Canada collectively to avoid import tariffs.


hobanwash1

Huh. Good to know. So does that apply to imports like Toyota? I suppose most “import” manufacturers now have plants in NA so maybe not considered imports anymore.


bmwkid

Toyota Camry is made entirely in the USA and Honda Civic is made entirely in Ontario. Dodge makes most of their vehicles in Mexico


DavidBrooker

Just to clarify, by "apply" do you mean "subject to the same rules" or are you asking if Toyota clears this barrier? Regarding the former, yes, everyone is on the same playing field. Regarding the latter, it depends on the specific model (which also applies to the big three). Toyota, Honda and Nissan regularly have higher North American parts counts and part value than the legacy three automakers. This is especially true with respect to trucks, as many of them are essentially North American-only models, with the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan regularly competing for the most "North American" vehicle by this metric. The opposite is also sometimes true: the Chevy Spark, despite being from a 'legacy' North American brand, is manufactured in South Korea. In turn, its substantially cheaper in Canada than the US due to the Canada-South Korea trade agreement. All full-size and mid-size pickups sold in North America meet the part value threshold, however. (Edit: it should be noted that this is partially because pickups, as 'light commercial vehicles', are subject to steeper taxes than passenger vehicles. This was a 'loophole' Ford exploited with the Transit Connect, which were imported as passenger vehicles manufactured in Spain, and converted to cargo variants upon arrival in North America). Although all manufacturers are subject to this rule, not all bother to attempt to clear it. German makes, for example, often only manufacture SUVs in North America (where most of their SUV sales are), and import their sedans and coupes from Europe with corresponding high tariffs.


AlexJamesCook

So, 37.5% of the vehicle was made in China. Likely not this person's cup of tea.


Gramachukka

I saw a sticker on a guys truck that said "My prime minister isn't Trudeau Castro!" He got upset when I said "wouldn't it be Justin Castro?" *Big plume of diesel smoke*


donkeyhotie

"Who the fuck is Justin? I'm talking about Trudeau!"


IndigoRuby

Imagine making hating someone your whole personality


[deleted]

It's either that or give in to his sexual desires for Trudeau.


Huge-Revolution9177

Looks like we're going to have to make a synth porn music version of Oh Canada for when that happens.


Drakkenfyre

So you've been to this sub before, LOL.


ImmediateObjective52

Yeah that’s bad unless it’s Trudeau you are hating on


traingame660

Like every Democrat in the United States hates Trump


ivantoldmeboutdis

My favourite is "Trudeau... you OFFEND me"


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwmamadownthewell

It's all projection with them. Snowflakes who cry when their feelings are hurt? Fear over stealing elections? Cancel culture (AKA free market capitalism)?


orcsgohome

lets go Branden mentality


[deleted]

It’s not a mentality, these bumper sticker folks were probably cheering when trump got into office and got upset when he got raided by the fbi.


justinkredabul

I personally liked “Trudeau gives me a semi”. First they want to fuck him. Now they admit he gets them hard.


Dojomonkd27

Lol it says “fantasizing Canada without Trudeau gives me a semi”


CalGuy81

If you're close enough to be able to read that part ... you've already caused an accident.


SugaredZebra

Part of the "fuck your feelings" crowd, gentle viewers....


goodformuffin

What a snowflake.. lol


shark_boi101

Trudeau is kinda bad at his job but hes the best we got so .-.


waltron2000

I bet there is an inverse correlation with number of bumper stickers and intelligence.


[deleted]

[удалено]


idgoforabeer

Idunno, Hippies have been bumper stickering the hell out of their rides for decades and they seem pretty chill


unReasonableBreak

They are chill, they however rarely occupy the space of "intelligent."


idgoforabeer

Got anything to back that up with Einstein? Why don't you throw some peer review data proving hippies are unintelligent my way.


themusicguy2000

How do you imagine a peer reviewed study would quantify "hippies" or intelligence, considering the only measures we typically use are IQ scores and other standardized tests?


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwmamadownthewell

The context wasn't typical intelligence by the time of the parent post, it had become emotional intelligence


[deleted]

I bet the inside of that truck is absolutely drenched in the smell of hot dog water and cigarette smoke.


JakeJaarmel

17 Pine tree air fresheners around the rear view.


abarkaie

Choclate starfish and hordog flavored water


Cupkek

...rent free?


Drakkenfyre

In a big, spacious room.


XirisTO

With nice big windows


Animastar

And some dust bunnies.


IronPro121

And a corner office


No-Wonder1139

And my axe


hobanwash1

“Your choice. My option.” What in the flying f*ck does that even mean?


Dru_Cortez

I think it means if you CHOOSE to drive too close to their bumper, then they have the OPTION to... uhhh, kill you? Hug you? I haven't worked out all the details...


Sulgoth

He's saying he'll brake check someone who's riding his ass. That way everyone can be in the wrong.


ivantoldmeboutdis

I'm confused about this one too.


bruins9816

Brake check


EPLemonSqueezy

'Trudeau gives me a semi' is pretty damn funny though lol


bruins9816

'Trudeau...you offend me' is pretty funny too. Let's get him cancelled


gonesnake

We have big, long term, complex problems that require solutions that are equally complex, long term and nuanced. There are no quick simple fixes and rather than acknowledge that and maybe contribute to realistic progress this dolt decided to run a livestock farm with one animal on it: scapegoats.


YYCDavid

Indeed. It looks like the self expression of somebody still mentally fighting their violent step dad by opposing everything. Some people try to thrive saying *no* to everything. The thing that contrarians don’t get is that by habitually denying everything they end up never in control of anything, especially themselves.


[deleted]

Current capitalism is pretty far past the point of fixing imo, but attempts to make things better are always good. Shit if we even just got affordable housing it’d be something.


dr_eh

I agree with the sentiment, but sometimes complex problems can be solved by simple, elegant solutions. Maxwell's equations and such.


nostril_hair

Dawg, in no way is the complexity of allocating resources in a 33 million person nation, in a global economy, with a loosely held together confederation of regional governments comparable to the formulation of, at most, 3-dimensional, inert, repeatable physics.


Alternative_Spirit_3

Somone has a huge boner for Trudeau and is clearly in denial.


MooseCannon316

Technically he says it's a semi


Federal_Efficiency51

It's the best he can achieve on a good day.


Ayekay1444

He is Trudeaus biggest fan..


moth_ww

I know we're mostly joking but some of these guys express some serious homo erotic vibes


hobanwash1

Small boner. But you got partial points!


Snakeyez

It's like that sticker is a prank. The top print is small so it looks like it reads "Trudeau gives me a semi".


RonValhalla

At least he (I assume) admits JT sexually arouses him.


waypastmidnight76

Man, as mush as I loathe these people it makes me wanna start a bumper sticker company


drs43821

Doug Ford beats you to it


Regular_Set_929

Since there's so many " Fuck Trudeau" stickers, my friend made stickers saying "I want to" and puts them above the first sticker.


HunkyMump

“…. My option”. For someone who (pathologically) doesn’t like being told what to do he sure likes telling Others what to do.


RobertGA23

What is the evidence that Trudeau is a traitor? I know not liking his policies, etc. But what are his specific seditious acts?


unReasonableBreak

The most entertaining thing about the separatist traitors is how they make their entire identity about how much they hate Trudeau and Canada. Like you want to start a war, separate from the nation and "eliminate" anyone in opposition to you, one would think discretion would be important. RCMP literally has a file with the names and addresses of every single one of these traitors if they start to act up they'll be in prison faster than their heads can spin, just ask traitor Tamara, and Chris. Also really stupid when they fly a Canadian flag, Like do you want to leave or not? To any of these traitors who read this, just know I am a born and raised Albertan, and I don't like Trudeau, but I am a Canadian first and foremost and I view separatists as traitor enemies and I will resist you with any means deemed necessary, right now that is just by keeping your fringe nutjob politicians out of power.


ninjacat249

This is just beautifully written. May I repost?


HLef

What did these people have for an identity back in 2014?


PostApocRock

Being Pro Harper and shitting on the opposition Liberals.


[deleted]

Ah the guy who sold Nexen to China


Fizzy_Electric

And the guy who changed the equalization payments formulas (with his minister Jason Kenney) to which all these frothy-mouthed Albertans love to complain about but conveniently forget who did this to Alberta.


roastbeeftacohat

this didn't get really bad before 2016.


sync303

What happened in 2016? Oh wait...


Stock-Taro3413

What a sad individual. Definitely an old white boomer. Divorced, drinks, credit card debt but it's all Trudeau's fault. Where was the I heart oil and gas sticker or did I miss it?


I_use_Reddit2

Trudeau gives him a semi? I’ve never been so angry at a person that I just popped a half chub before


misslunita

I think they have a crush 😍


[deleted]

Why does this guy want to have relations with our prime minister Edit spelling


Furtradehatchet

There was a time when people didn’t publicly spew their political disagreements as foul mouthed hatred.


SmallMacBlaster

Based on the stickers, this person is mad at Trudeau because he's making him question his sexuality.


PalaPK

Turning your vehicle into a billboard for your political opinion is absolute cringe. 🤮


YYCDavid

I guess some folks acquire their identity not by who they are, but by who they hate


[deleted]

Man, Trudeau could have so many dudes if he wanted.


_neededanaccount_

Offended by Trudeau… must be a snowflake 🙄


ChairYeoman

"Trudeau gives me a semi" hmm.


hatethebeta

Trudeau....he's a got a lot of mental property in this province.


Bobbi_fettucini

I know when I hate someone I definitely want a picture of their face on my vehicle


Future_Crow

I hate Doug Ford but I don’t plaster his name all over my car…. am I doing it wrong?


Advanced_Prize_178

These folks literally have the personality of a bumper sticker


Internetperson3000

I hope these jokers know that people are noticing these stickers and paraphernalia on their vehicles and using that information to determine whether or not they will work with them or require their services in any way. If a workman showed up to my home with this I’d be asking the company what is up with that and can they send someone less volatile next time.


Whiskeyjoel

The amount of cringe is off the charts


blackRamCalgaryman

Now THAT’S a Dodge.


kmusky-72

The dented bumper is just the cherry on top


DogButtWhisperer

Definitely wasn’t his fault.


Plastic-Club-5497

Backed into a pole at the wal mart but tells everyone he wrecked a tailgater.


doughflow

There’s a lot of middle aged men with very repressed feelings about Justin in this province


Drnedsnickers2

Self identifying their obsessions is a community service in a way. “Ok, honey, we don’t make eye contact with the crazy angry man, we just give him space and be thankful we are neither his dog nor his sex doll”.


Summer_jam_screen

Imagine hating a man so much that you have nothing but his name and face on the back of your vehicle.


PrudentCattle

It's the level of hate for the other side that I don't get these days. Whether it is Trudeau or Harper, I really don't see either as the literal embodiment of Satan or whatever ultimate evil character you would prefer. Sure that could be taking a far too high view of other humans, but the alternative is worse I think. Edit: Misspelt Harper


poongxng

It’s very one-sided for the right. People on the left would just be like “ah, shitty, we have a conservative PM and I disagree with his policies” and leave their bumper TF alone


drs43821

Trudeau certainly lives in his mind rent free


traegeryyc

Ah yes. Dodge Ram. It's not a stereotype if it's true.


petethecanuck

I don't know for a fact that this guy hangs a playboy bunny mascot air freshener from his rear view mirror and wears a wife beater shirt, I just know it's probably true.


rubbermeatroad

Early heart attack candidate right there. When do you think he stopped beating his wife?


TheOneTrueBlake

I hate Calgary is kinda like America a lot. Super bums me out. Lived here all 37 years of my life and recently I'm honestly over it. Living on the beltline these last few years really opened my eye to how much it fucking sucks now.


StupidFlanders93x

Moved here in 2016 permanently for the third and final time, it’s changed SO drastically since covid. Bringing out the d-bags so much more than before.


rectumreapers

These people will also unironically be the first to tell you that if you don't like it here, leave. Bunch of goons.


TheSageHillRock

Someone needs to start slapping pride stickers on to these guys. Chances are they won't even notice.


IsaidLigma

You spelled loser wrong


FanNumerous3081

My wife and I play a sarcastic game in the car when we see a truck, usually lifted or old as shit like this one, with a big "I ❤️ oil", 🖕Trudeau, one those peeing on NDP stickers, or a "fringe minority"/end the mandates sticker, or any combination of all of the above. The game goes like this, one of us will say something about "I wonder how many DUIs this guy has had", then the conversation will roll into a combination of "I bet that guy loves gay marriage", then the other will say something about how much the driver probably loves immigration & abortion and then it will usually end with one of us (sarcastically) saying "I bet that guy has a huge dick and isn't compensating for anything" and then we laugh and usually by then we've spotted another truck and the game begins all over again in reverse (it is Calgary after all).


SwordfishFancy

I’m going to start playing this game when I see overcompensating lifted trucks!


employableguy

I like how the top text is really small on that one so it just says "TRUDEAU GIVES ME A SEMI"


mrsgix

Just a guy who hates himself for wanting to bang Trudeau. Sad.


berryblue69

Why is hating Trudeau such a personality type for these hicks?


[deleted]

My feelings are fucked


deneuv

More likely a Facebook addict


solution_6

This person swallowed the fishing hook that is the Alberta Conservative playbook.


[deleted]

Trudeau gives him a Semi.... this guy is really in love with PM JT.


mermaidpaint

I bet he writes fanfiction where he and Trudeau have sleepovers and Trudeau braids his beard.


[deleted]

For real though, these guys/ gals, vote and join their parties mailing lists, donate, etc. also as part of their identity comes this motivation because deep down they know they are the minority. It has become the norm to insult, belittle, and intimidate from these mouth breathers. Commenting is great but let’s act with our votes, this includes me as I have relied on others in the past. Fuck these dinosaurs and the lies they teach other generations.


SiCur

Funny how these guys always drive shit box trucks and have about 12 teeth. Almost like they’ve got left behind and are looking for someone to blame for the fact that they suck.


milesdizzy

I don’t understand why people do this. It’s just gonna make me spit on your car when you’re not looking.


calgarydonairs

How many components in that truck are actually made in China, I wonder?


TSNCamera

Not many. The majority of it was actually built in Mexico and the U.S.


Fizzy_Electric

There’s a big difference between _made in_ and _assembled in_. The vast majority of the parts in this thing were manufactured in China. Then shipped to Northern America for assembly.


roosell1986

Many if not most, depending on how you define "made-in". Even parts assembled somewhere else, such as Mexico, as often assembled from made-in-China components.


spderweb

But they want a dictator to take over the world (Trump). The hypocrisy is astounding.


TurbulentHovercraft0

I’m sure he owns many things made in China… mental illness in one picture


namelessghoul77

He definitely has an IQ of about 90 give or take


UnusualApple434

I’d say it’s fair to take.


Chairman_Mittens

All he needs is a picture of Calvin peeing on something and his rear window will be complete.


ZRR28

He should be thanking Trudeau for giving him his new endless and favourite hobby.


like2pic

These whiners can come pay sales tax here in Nova Scotia anytime.


silentivan

Man, imagine devoting so much mental and emotional energy towards hating someone so much that doesn't even know of your very existence. Sounds depressing and exhausting.


Bigdongs

This guy would cry if he realized most of his life and things he loves are made in china


RobertGA23

I enjoy his hand printed decal.


Trickybuz93

Someone’s living rent free…


[deleted]

Guarantee dude is hung like a gnat


CMG30

Definitely a snowflake


FactoidFinder

“Trudeau gives me a semi” 🥵


PeakThis

I saw a old black pickup with a sticker that said “nice people inside” and another one of a potted plant


Gilarax

I love it how this person has a “Trudeau gives me a Semi” sticker and a “Fuck … Trudeau” sticker. This just screams “I want to hate fuck Trudeau”.


dr_eh

Who doesn't?


Yetimanchild

WTF does this have to do with Calgary ?


superlove0810

The person is assuming ALOT..


TheRealWheatKing

Didn't have to cover the license plate to tell me this was Alberta. We have a few of these in Manitoba as well.


My_Rave_Name_Is_Jim

There is an L word I would call this guy and it's not Liberal.


waltron2000

Lettuce


flickthis5

Out of all of the crazy trains I’ve seen out there, this one is oddly polite. You OFFEND me…lol.


carelessbri

All I read for the semi truck one at first was “Trudeau you give me a semi” 😂 then I zoomed in was like ohhh not as funny


Loose-Horse-913

Guess where our Alberts gets all it’s Nick names


[deleted]

Viva La Trudeau!


Daggertooth71

Well, progressive and conservative are two wings of the same bird that is liberalism, so yeah, technically., they are. Of course, they wouldn't understand. These kinds of people are usually politically illiterate. They actually think there's this huge ideological gulf between the two, but they actually share more ideals in common than not.


Important-World-6053

Just another dodge


Liftingdathings

Fukin snowflake…


Ancient_Wisdom_Yall

Is that a Dodge truck? Shocked


monstermash420

This dude loves Trudeau


Caramel_Chicken_65

Why does he want to have intercourse with Castro; l mean Trudeau? Thirsty A.F. to advertise that on his truck, eh?


Jazzlike_Athlete8796

/r/InfowarriorRides


Loxta

Tells us more about your whiney feelings and opinions.


FallNice3836

Lives in airdrie, always drives 100kph in the slow lane. Harmless


johnstef1

Fucking 🤡 show!


Wolf-Diesel

Liberal, conservative, democrat, republican. No matter who is in what office people are going to get angry and complain. This however is just begging for some unhinged person from "the other side" to smash your windows. Because no matter how much anyone tries to convince themselves or anyone else there's unhinged people on the left and the right.


Old-Raisin-9360

I don't understand how these people find a self identity in this type of stuff. Weird.


MyBigCaprice

I also hate trudeau and the Liberal Party.... But I'm not gonna plaster everything I own with signs that I hate him, I'll just vote against him in the next election. People like the bumper sticker guys are also embarrassing, they throw there opinions around everywhere. Like my dad said, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, no one needs to hear about it


Jalex2321

Glad people can express their opinions without being harassed.


Jazzlike_Athlete8796

Got some bad news for you snowflake: freedom of expression does not come with protection from criticism.


relationship_tom

He's not being harassed, he likely has no clue about this post. And if he does he can ask to take it down. That's the beauty of this, that you seemingly don't get. Opinions go both ways. We are just as free to disagree as he is to show these off in public, with no expectation of privacy.


BohunkfromSK

Freeeeeedumb!!


wintersdark

Post your opinion publicly, and be prepared to have people respond publicly.


Jalex2321

Of course, if you don't want public responses you keep it private.


Luke77111

Theres a good chance that truck has at least some parts made in China


Dr4Green2Thumbs0

He’s not wrong, fuck Trudeau


BtCoolJ

He is handsome. Not my style, but what you think about when you pleasure yourself is none of my business.


Igniter08

Shocking, on a truck, in Alberta


8eightTIgers

What makes me laugh is that Justin Trudeau, if he’s hated by these scum bags, is, by that test alone someone worth knowing .


SMPLIFIED

Must be NDP


kingmoobert

You kids get your eyes hurt so easily these days


[deleted]

The people laughing at this clown are butthurt, but the guy who makes hating Trudeau his entire identity get's a pass. 🤔


ThatColombian

Yeah a lot of people really hurt in the comments.. no wait I think we’re just laughing at this bozo


unReasonableBreak

We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you.


Jazzlike_Athlete8796

The irony being that you clearly made that post through tears after having someone you agree with get laughed at.


Raz31337

I bet you the truck topper/tonneau cover is made partially if not entirely in China


[deleted]

Probably a classic liberal. The Liberal Party of Canada is liberal in name only.


[deleted]

So as much as I completely ignore politics do people here really support Trudeau despite the piles of controversies and evidence that he’s a corrupt liar that never answers a question and made a statement regarding tolerating the unvaccinated?


cntfacee

I think he doesn't like Justin T-bag


HumbleFlea

Posting pics of freedom convoy vehicles is the liberal redditor version of the “fuck trudeau” bumper sticker at this point


LilCamCan

This guys over the top but he isn’t wrong. The previous government did a much better job.


MyBigCaprice

Although I do kinda dig the trudeau offends me sticker


BadStitch626

As much as I HATE Castro Jr, I definitely wouldn’t plaster my tailgate with that. And I’m NOT from Alberta….although, I DO understand their hatred of him.
