If we want to advance our economy, we need to embrace EV adoption. We already invested heavily into EV supply chains.

We are currently more or less relying on the US on car safety standards...

Yeah, we're pretty close. Put a stronger front bumper and a DRL module on an American car, and it's about the same. But we also aren't that different from Europe either. Build a Canadian car with a weaker roof, rear bumper, and child seat anchors, while beefing up the side impact ratings, and adding ESC, AEB, ACC features as standard and you have a European car. Maybe we can agree to take the best of all standards and agree to make them that way. Seems the best way to open things up without just arbitrarily agreeing to adopt another country's standards wholesale in an attempt to get some market share. We have enough problems with that as is.
