Premier Doug Ford says Prime Minister Mark Carney’s deal with China on electric vehicles has hurt Ontarians and the two have not spoken since.
Ford says he was disappointed Carney did not give him a heads-up about a potential deal before the prime minister’s trip to China last week.
Carney struck a deal with China last week to allow up to 49,000 electric vehicles to receive a vastly reduced tariff rate of 6.1 per cent as they come into Canada in exchange for dropping tariffs on Canadian canola and some seafood.
Ford and Carney became fast friends after the latter’s win to become prime minister in the spring.
You mean all those USian jobs that are leaving south of the border rapidly? Fuck US car companies. Why tf doesn’t Dougie support an actual affordable, basic daily driver Canadian EV company if he wants stable Ontario jobs
They don’t have time for that, all levels of government are still too busy trying to sabotage Edison Motors with regulatory roadblocks whenever possible. They don’t have enough time to also sabotage NEW EV companies, they can only do so much at one time.
There are no Canadian car companies. The last one ended in 1976 after 24 months.
Bombardier: we’re no longer Canadian, but we’ll make you a car if you pay us enough!
