Canada is dropping the EV tariffs and will be importing 50k Chinese EVs per year. Carney quoted as saying by 2030 an EV in Canada will cost $35k which is a sure shot more affordable than buying the latest $80000 Child Obliterator

What's up with the tariffs in the first place? Does Canada even make EV's or were they just obeying the US?

blindly obeying the empire, we manufacture alot of the american brands in ontario so it was sold as protecting our automotive industry lol

Ontario has an auto manufacturing sector. But yes it was just Trudeau following the dumbass Biden move without real thought put into it.

America yanked on the leash, but Canada's most populous province also has a large car manufacturing industry. All American brands btw, Canada has no national car brands.
