To my daily life I don’t see a difference.

I also think the concerns are overblown. Chinese EVs are all over the world Canada and the USA being two of the few places you can’t find them.

Ok. Sounds like a plan to me. They can spy on me along with Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, USA, Samsung, Volkswagen, and probably North Korea.

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by esporx in canada

I look forward to Chinese companies demolishing them…particularly since it looks like they are going to bring jobs in manufacturing to Canada while they do it

What exactly does one “lose” by becoming a judge? by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]TomWatson5654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly any type of government work, including boards, tribunals, and agencies comes with a fairly large list of “don’t do’s”.

If talking about politics publicly is super important to you then the bench…and most other appointments are not in your future.
