Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that the Government of Canada is moving forward with 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion worth of goods in response to the unjustified and unreasonable tariffs imposed by the United States (U.S.) on Canadian goods.

I would really love to see tariffs lowered on Chinese EVs with conditions of tech transfer + using Canadian automobile factories for manufacturing.

This would fuck over American car manufacturers + get Canadians access to much cheaper automobiles.

I only want the Chinese cars if they prove they can adhere to our safety standards. Their "virtual testing" isn't good enough IMO. As long as they adhere to proper safety protocols, then sure. I refuse to drive a cheaper but blatantly less-safe vehicle.

Simple solution there is requiring certification in Canada under Canadian supervision.

Isn't that literally what happens? I'm sure that's how it's done in the rest of the developed world, but neolibs/conservatives may have snuck in self-regulation...
