Canada/Japan entering free trade talks...
If a deal went through, anybody know if this could impact Canadian car prices from Toyota/Subaru?
I unfortunately don't know anything about what free trade means for vehicle imports. |

In the ideal world, this would mean all of our electronics and Japanese cars would go down in price by 6% (the import tariff for Japan). But of course, the manufacturers will pocket the 6% and make up convoluted excuses about how it's "just not that simple", like when our dollar became par and the US car price difference stayed the same.

I am somewhat out of touch with the day to day Canadian news, I'll have to have a read, but my first impressions would be...
We already get anything and everything we want from Japan... surely this is just Harper wanting to increase exports of Canadian natural resources?
