I can't help but chuckle a little at this line:

"This is the latest attempt to bolster the made-in-Canada movement..."

If only there were some Canadian car manufacturers to help out there...

Apparently Canada made an agreement with the U.S. a while back to place a 100% tariff on a line of affordable EVs made by Chinese manufacturers (I don't remember the name right now).

I suspect a reversal of that decision may be in the works.

Alot of Canadians are requesting that. Not just about retaliation, but in many respects (battery swapping terminals, feature sets), Chinese EVs are pulling ahead of North American vehicles.

Canada did a lot to support US industry because it was working well for us as well as the Americans. If the US is going to disrespect us and threaten us, we might as well lean into our relationships with other trade partners.
