Canada is being pressured by the failed US administration to discard its zero emissions mandate in order to avoid punishing tariffs.

Doug Ford is a US agent, gaslighting us into US subservience and destruction of Canadian auto sector. "Fortress Can Am" is treason, and has no "Am" partner/supporter.

Future is EVs. Ontario/Canada can either decide to support more USMCA compliant auto manufacturing or threaten nationalization of US subsidiaries that don't invest more, or cut investment.

Development of rare earths, lithium, other metals in Canada is possible through Chinese investment. Investment in processing plants where Canadian companies naturally get all of the supply they can sell more affordably than through US reliance. Modern auto plants use giga presses for outer body. Motor and battery manufacturing also highly automated. Chinese investment should include manufacturing of automation in Canada for Canadian and international markets.

Article talks about affordable EVs. These can be made in NA and Canada especially through Chinese technology and our cheap access to materials. Just the motors and batteries. GM equinox is a good value car. Could be made at same price in Canada as in MX, with cheaper access to materials/components.

When Do-FF(Fossil Fuel or Fat Fuck)-Fo supports increasing dependence on Alberta and FFs, he supports energy insecurity. Solar and EVs, reduce our refining demand. Another area to cooperate with Chinese investment.
