Koreans prevent via taxes outside imports. Chinese make their exports more competitive by keeping the Yuan low. The two are totally different.

most of the "free trade angst" is with US and China in the political circles.
any "pressure" to open up ROK markets by the US is more in the currencies intervention issues (which ROK is more open than most), beef (which is already opened) and financial and legal industries. But in general, the US doesn't feel "threatened" by Korea in any sort of trade imbalance as Korea is one of the largest buyers of beef and agriculture in the US, after Japan. The "trade imbalance threat" comes from China.
Canada is on their own on this one. I imagine Canadas main exports of ESL teachers and oil have something to lose in a tariff war as well.
btw, WHAT CARS DOES CANADA BUILD??? HELLO!!! |

No. I already posted an article that the closed Korean auto sector is an issue. It is closed to imports. This is called mercantilism. Use wikipedia to learn about it.
Only you are talking about China. The OP was about Canada and Korea. But nice try.
Korea is grown. Time to let go of the Western hand and make it on your own. Like a 3 year old being pushed away from daddy on his training wheeled bike for the first time. Korea can do it. Sparkling, remember? |

Actually the Americans are pretty pissed off about the trade imbalance. Now it's nowhere close to the one with China, but it's still a concern to thew Americans.
And Korea is one of the largest buyers?
Care to provide a source?

Korea doesn't buy Canadian oil. It buys other natural resources, but not oil.
Coming from Windsor, i can tell you that canada does indeed produce cars and probably produces more cars per capita than the U.S. Canadian cars are: GM Canada, Chrysler Canada and Ford Canada. There is also Suzuki, Honda and I think Toyota. Many of the auto parts that are used in cars produced in Detroit come from Windsor.
When it comes to statistics, the U.S. may produce more cars, but when it comes down to value, I think Germany is the world's largest manufacturer of automotive products.
A word of advice for JAD and others like him. Keep your mouth shut before you know what you are talking about as it only makes you look like an ... . From what I've read, you've been exposed as one before but maybe you just need some attention.
Ontario has many concerns about Korean auto products. However, Ontario has exported more than 100 cars in the last year, but it doesn't show up as a statistic because the cars were exported to Korea via the U.S.
I'm in full favour of free trade with any country as long as it's fair, but Korea always seems to want to roll the dice twice. To tell you the truth, and from what I've seen, Korean stands to lose more, as Korea exports more to canada. Korea can also buy some raw materials elsewhere if they want, which will probably increase their cost and make Korean products even less competitive, and canadians can go back to buying the high quality Japanese brands. China seems to be more than happy to buy Canadian resources and to hire Canadian teachers. |

| I want to buy the cheapest car possible (okay the best car for the best price). That's the only thing that matters. That's the only thing that should matter. If Koreans are happy to pay more for their Hyundais and Hyundai has to compete on pure price in NA, then it's bad for Korea and good for the NA consumer. |

Vehicles made in South Korea - as with all cars made outside NAFTA - enter the Canadian market with a duty of 6.1 per cent attached to them. If Ontario were to impose a higher duty, consumers in Ontario could simply buy a Hyundai or Kia in neighbouring Quebec or Manitoba.
Industry analyst Dennis DesRosiers said the Premier should stick to the areas he can influence and questioned whether South Korea opening its market would even help the Canadian auto sector. Vehicles made in Canada - generally larger cars, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks - are not popular in South Korea. |

| The Koreans will buy them if they open up the trade, if I am not mistaken last year alone they purchased 40,000 imported luxury cars despite the high tariffs. |
