Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he's been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he's finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

He's likely anticipating a scenario where Canadians beg the US for forgiveness, because car manufacturing is already leaving Canada, and once Cusma ends that will happen to many more things. We are uniquely positioned for pain, and Trump won't let us allow Chinese EV so close to them.
