Maybe if the American government paid its employees better they wouldn't keep being outbid by the Chinese.

Do Canadians use the spelling "aluminum"? Or "aluminium"?

In England it's "ium"- aluminium- like helium, lithium, beryllium, calcium, magnesium, plutonium...

Maybe Canada can bypass the tariffs by exporting aluminium instead of aluminum.

When I was in school there were still textbooks that said "aluminium", but those were outdated even then. I think "aluminum" is pretty strongly dominant and has been for decades.

Yeah, the only other example I can think of is aeroplane. Aeroplane is not an element.

I really hope that Trump finally brings an end to the Canadian milk mafia.

No, all the dairy farmers. I have complained for years about the 300% tariff on cheese to Canada, and Trump finally heard my cries. Hopefully trade with the US is a big enough issue that it destroys that tariff worldwide.
