Too bad; it really should

I'd be less disappointed if the companies building cars in Canada were Canadian and building cars for the Canadian or global market. They aren't. They are US companies building cars for export to the US. Why should every Canadian be paying to protect them while the US tarrifs its own companies?

Reasoning for those wondering. Vague and little details otherwise.

“We're focused on protecting Canadian workers, Canadian jobs. And there are great difficulties now, given the US tariffs — which are illegal and unjust and impacting Canadian workers in the auto sector — I think we need to make very careful changes to make sure we protect those workers,” he said.

And to add they're sure ain't talking about shielding Canadians from the reciprocal Chinese tariffs. I'm really baffled at how bad Robertson has been at being the politician.

There are other options for affordable EVs that don't involve heavily subsidized Chinese vehicles.
