Canada's ultimate revenge on Trump over tariffs gathers pace

Daily Mail
By SARA MCGIFF

Canada is opening the door to a wave of cheap Chinese electric vehicles - in a move that risks undercutting US carmakers and escalating its trade clash with President Donald Trump.

Ottawa is working to fast-track a deal between domestic dealers and Chinese auto giants including BYD, Chery and Geely, with the first low-cost EVs expected to hit Canadian roads as soon as this year.

The push comes as Trump ramps up tariffs and trade investigations against dozens of countries - including Canada - after the Supreme Court struck down his latest attempt to impose sweeping global duties.

Canada is expected to have low-cost Chinese electric vehicles enter the country by the end of this year, Jason Zhao, the director of Asian market development at automotive analysts DSMA, told Automotive News Canada.

Under the new trade deal, Canada replaced its 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made cars with an import cap of 49,000 vehicles and a modest 6.1 percent duty.

The previous tariff made it virtually impossible for Chinese brands to sell cars in Canada.

The implications could stretch far beyond Canada. Because the two countries share tightly aligned safety and emissions standards, vehicles approved north of the border can often enter the US market with minimal friction.

In effect, it places low-cost Chinese EVs just across the border from American consumers.

Chinese electric cars? If they are the same quality as they sell in China winter will be the least of the problems.

Am quite certain those thousands of auto workers in Canada will have something indelicate to say about Ottawa's decision.

They will not work in the winter weather.

But my thought is that the biggest problem will be spontaneous battery fires, just like Chinese cellphones and laptops.

Well, maybe on the East side of the State, here, because there will be charging stations on I-29. In the Western Part, it's 180 miles from the border to I-94 where there will be some charging stations. At most (the numbers vary) there are 1300 EVs registered in ND, out of over a million vehicles.

Not exactly a target market. Maybe in little Somalia and points East or over on the Pacific Coast, but I just don't see them propagating here. I don't care how cheap it is, if it's useless, it isn't a bargain.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
