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.

I agree with the conservatives on this one issue. Every argument is legit, but it also applies to the US with even more veracity.

Lets build our own company and make cheap EVs for the canadian market that aren't full of every imaginable dystopian spyware-data-centre-facial-recognition-lock-the-doors-and-auto-drive-you-to-ICE-detention-centres bullshittery.

Fuck me I'd jump on an inexpensive 1970's featured ev in a heartbeat.
