unfortunately, everyone who said they would be making EVs 5 years ago is categorically incompetent at it.Hyundai perhaps excepted.
Polievre's plan would balance more production to Canada and US vs Mexico, but with anti-EV, incompetence, mandate.
EVs are better cars, and Chinese ones provide value. Just as you might enjoy the variety of Mercedez, Ferrari being available to you, you can have a better and practical Chinese car.
National unity (or divisiveness) vs individual freedom are key social questions/values, but ones where we didn't see individual freedom so compromised before. Manufactured divisiveness for unity among supremacists loses on both freedom from collective oppression, and individual consumer choice.
the future of auto industry is far less labour anyway. We should stop pretending local/US profits matter, and stop BS that we must join every US war, including the future one on China. It's a great idea to have open/audited firmware/software with local data security free from all foreign attack vectors, but it is only traitors who would highlight a greater security risk from China than the US.
