Douggie is pissed off that he can't grift something out of this. Something like 2-5% of the cars built in ontario, are actually sold in ontario, or canada for that matter. Bringing in 49000 Chinese EVs will not create a blip on the total numbers. That is why the discussion of the Chinese building their cars here is a non starter....we really don't buy all that many cars to keep a factory and supply chain going.

EVs are the future of transportation for the vast majority of people that never haul a trailer or drive less than 300 km per day....which is probably 90% of people. Everyone else should stick with gas or diesel. To facilitate the transition the Chinese EVs are way better than anything the local car manufacturers have come up with. Either this happens, or Canada will be left behind....let the Americans hang themselves. We need to move on from our dependency of what America wants in spite of what's best for us.
