Canada placed the tariffs last year as a show of support for the U.S. who did the same. China retaliated with tariffs on Canada’s agricultural products. China’s EVs start at $16000 Cdn while the EVs in Canada currently start at $40000 Cdn. Removing the tariffs would reduce reliance on the U.S, and increase our agricultural markets. In today’s scenario, the tariffs don’t make sense.
Possibly but I think Canada’s auto workers are pretty strongly against doing that and there’s quite a lot of them so the political parties are unlikely to do something that might cost those jobs. Unless they can work out some kind of deal like what was done with Japanese auto makers to bring some of the work here?
