China will remove its tariffs on Canadian agriculture — including on canola products — if Canada scraps its levies on Chinese electric vehicles, that country’s ambassador says.
Point out even a single Canadian-made EV that would be affected by this.
There are no negative effects, so long as the vehicles pass safety standards. Bonus if we can enter into partnerships that would see those EVs assembled here.
And the low cost of these EVs would make vehicle ownership far easier for our young people, who already have an environment 8× more expensive (compared to their median wage) than their parents experienced at the same age.
This would be a bad deal for Canada the big car companies that have been producing massive, dangerous, filthy, wasteful monster trucks instead of smaller EVs thanks to protectionist policies.

The entire Canadian economy would be negatively effected in the long-term by such a move.
Yeah well… I’d like to do whatever Poland is doing.
TIL a higher standard of living is a “negative effect”.
You may have (intentionally?) misunderstood my comment.
FTFY
Accusing Canada or other Western countries of protectionism while defending China is a bit of hypocrisy, no?
In addition, look why these ChEaP cHiNeSe CaRs are that cheap. I don’t want to buy a car or anything else that is made by slave labor.
Yeah, kneecapping our canola industry to support the USA’s foreign policy, on the other hand, is a great deal for us.
